"Build AWS Lambda Extension" GitHub Action

This GitHub action will create a ZIP file containing:

• the AWS Lambda layer (that needs to be preperaded in advance. see Prerequesites)
• the latest version of the Sentry Lambda Extension.

Prerequesites

Befor you can use this action to bundle Lambda Layer and the Sentry Lambda extension together you need to prepare your Lambda Layer in a directory called /dist-serverless:

A very basic example would be:

steps:
  - run: |
      echo "Create the Lambda in the dist-serverless directory"
      mkdir dist-serverless
      cp -r stuff/* dist-serverless/

You also have to make sure to include this directory in the build cache you need to set up using the actions/cache@v3 Github action.

How this is done you can learn in the build workflow of the Javascript SDK:

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml

Usage

To bundle the above prepared Lambda layer with the latest Sentry Lambda Extension and save it in a file called sentry-python-serverless.zip you can the following to your GitHub workflow:

(The .zip file will be uploaded in the GitHub action so it can be used by other actions or steps in your workflow.)

steps:
    - uses: getsentry/action-build-aws-lambda-extension@v1
    with:
        artifact_name: ${{ github.sha }}
        zip_file_name: sentry-python-serverless.zip

This test script illustrates the usage of the action:

.github/workflows/test_production.yml

For an full example usage see the Sentry Python SDK:

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Inputs

The following are all required.

name	description
artifact_name	Name of the prepared articact the Lambda Layer zip file should be uploaded to
zip_file_name	Name of the zip file that will be created
build_cache_key	Build cache key
build_cache_paths	Paths of the build cache
debug_enabled	If set to "true" debugging is enabled and you can log into the running action. (See https://github.com/marketplace/actions/debugging-with-tmate)

Testing

If you want to see what an example of a zip file created by this action looks like you can manually run the GitHub action "Test Production". This will create a dummy lambda layer (just containing one placeholder file) and the latest relay based Sentry Lambda Extension. After the GitHub action has run, you can download the generated artifact at the bottom of the summary page of the GitHub action result.
