Exception on import when AWS_PROFILE is invalid/null #294

lorengordon · 2021-02-19T00:05:25Z

Expected Behavior

import aws_lambda_powertools should still succeed even if the ENV contains AWS_PROFILE with a bad value.

Current Behavior

It appears that during import, under at least some conditions, aws_lambda_powertools will attempt to setup an aws client session? I'm not sure I understand why. So if the ENV contains an invalid AWS config, in particular AWS_PROFILE= or AWS_PROFILE=fakeprofile, then the import fails with an exception. Which, yes, it's invalid, and I now that I know aws_lambda_powertools has this behavior I can work around it easily by unsetting the envs. But it still seems like it shouldn't be setting up a session on import?

Possible Solution

Not sure on a solution, but a workaround is to make sure your development environment unsets bad AWS_ envs before attempting to run tests on your python code. :)

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

AWS_PROFILE= python -c 'import aws_lambda_powertools'

Environment

Powertools version used: 1.10.5
Packaging format (Layers, PyPi): PyPi
AWS Lambda function runtime:: n/a

@lorengordon this has to do with importing the xray core, which is then picking up the AWS_PROFILE being set.

I would either unset AWS_PROFILE and have dummy values for the rest

unset AWS_PROFILE 
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=fake
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=fake
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

Or unset it before importing powertools in the tests

import os

if "AWS_PROFILE" in os.environ:
    del os.environ["AWS_PROFILE"]

lorengordon · 2021-02-26T14:31:22Z

@michaelbrewer Of course, that's my workaround. When I first attempted to reproduce, I imported the xray core directly and it worked fine, so I thought it was something in this library. But I must have messed up the env, because now I am reproducing easily on that import. I'll open an issue on the xray sdk. Thanks!

I suppose it could be a feature request here, in the sense that I don't need or want xray right now. I am only using the logger. So it might be nice to gate the import to an explicit call to a powertools class/method...

@heitorlessa is looking at lazy loading libraries

heitorlessa · 2021-02-26T20:21:54Z

100% and thanks @michaelbrewer for helping out.

I'm not sure how I missed this issue in my notifications so apologies @lorengordon for not replying earlier.

I've done some research on backwards compatible solutions that work for 3.6+ (what we support), and am scheduling next Friday to experiment and will keep you posted.

Thanks for reporting it!

lorengordon · 2021-02-26T20:42:31Z

@heitorlessa All good, the workarounds are viable for now. 3.6+ works for us. Feel free to close this if you have another tracking issue for lazy loading libraries... I opened another issue on the xray sdk to better understand why it needs to setup the session as a global, and impact imports like this...

heitorlessa · 2021-02-26T21:11:18Z

Awesome - I'll subscribe to that.

I'll keep this open, and I'll try this method first as it seems clever enough to also prevent PyCharm/VSCode debugger to crash due to increased ref counting in getattr

lorengordon · 2021-02-26T21:29:26Z

Nice, and it's very simple! I've got use cases for that in my own projects! 😂

michaelbrewer · 2021-02-27T15:34:04Z

As a pure hack, i have disabled the one i don't need during my unit testing

import sys
from unittest.mock import Mock

mock = Mock()
sys.modules['aws_lambda_powertools.tracing']=mock
sys.modules['aws_lambda_powertools.metrics']=mock
sys.modules['aws_lambda_powertools.loggin']=mock

heitorlessa · 2021-03-03T09:25:45Z

hey @lorengordon - This will now be available in the next release. If you're not using Tracer, you should see a ~400ms+ perf improvement in cold start depending on your memory setting.

Here's the aftermath using 128M memory: from ~620ms to ~50ms.

Wow, that's fantastic, thanks @heitorlessa!

michaelbrewer · 2021-03-03T15:43:36Z

@heitorlessa @lorengordon and this also works without any errors ;)

AWS_PROFILE= python -c 'import aws_lambda_powertools'

heitorlessa · 2021-03-05T17:18:04Z

This is now available in 1.11.0 - Literally just launched ;) 🎉
