Deploy python function

[AntonOellerer]

Hey,
I am currently unsucessfully trying to deploy a python serverless function with the github action.
My deploy.yml:

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version-file: '.python-version'
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version-file: '.nvmrc'
      - run: npm ci
      - name: Deploy
        uses: serverless/github-action@v3.1
        with:
          args: deploy --stage ${{ github.ref_name }} --verbose
        env:
          SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY }}

I also tried it with the approach suggested in the README.md, using

    - name: Install Plugin and Deploy
      uses: serverless/github-action@v3.1
      with:
        args: -c "serverless plugin install --name <plugin-name> && serverless deploy"
        entrypoint: /bin/sh

but it did not work either. (If I am understanding the workflow correctly, npm ci should install the plugin, and the error message is coming from the plugin, so I think it should work either way)

The error I am getting is:

Running "serverless" from node_modules

I think the error occurs here, but I can't quite grasp why the plugin should not be able to access python?

Do you know how to fix this?

If I install serverless with npm and then run npm exec -c 'serverless deploy --stage ${{ github.ref_name }} --verbose' it works

[sergiors]

you need to use serverless/github-action@v3

you need to use serverless/github-action@v3

this saved me

Thank you, anyone know why 3.1 does not work for python deployments?

The only reason that it could be is the node version, maybe python version

[jnicho02]

correct me if i'm wrong, but the 'with: args: ...serverless deploy' command will run inside serverless/github-action's Docker....3.1's Dockerfile is based on nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.10-nodejs16-slim so when serverless tries to run python3.9 -m pip help install....then there won't be a python3.9, only a python3.10

and you can't use a python3.10 lambda profile as it doesn't exist yet https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html

[advissor]

Indeed, same happening for Python lambdas with v3.2 of this github action
@jnicho02 points in right direction
The Docker image, that is used and being built in the github actions uses Python 3.10 already for versions of Github actions above >3

 Step 1/11 : FROM nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.10-nodejs18-slim
  python3.10-nodejs18-slim: Pulling from nikolaik/python-nodejs

Using serverless/github-action@v3 for Python 3.9 helped
