Hi team,
We are trying to deploy using node-lambda. We are getting below error
node-lambda deploy -a $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_LABS -s $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_LABS -n "$AWS_FUNCTION_NAME"_Test -e "" -f deploy.env -o "$AWS_ROLE_DEV"
=> Moving files to temporary directory
=> Running npm ci --production

}
This issue seems to be because of npm-shrinkwrap.json. It is not able to build when the package has npm-shrinkwrap.json
Please look into this issue. Deployment is failing into production so it is very critical for us.

What kind of error do you get if you run without the '-s' option?

npm ci --production --no-audit --prefix /tmp/build-lambda

For me, this issue was that I did not have a package.json at the root of my lambda function index.js file. The lambda function did not have any dependent packages, but a package.json is still required. This was not an issue a few months ago.
