Vite Plugin Does Not Override Lambda Timeout

[krhoyt]

Not sure where in the Netlify ecosystem this should be noted, so I am putting it down as a Vite plugin issue.

Using @netlify/vite-plugin does not override the Lambda three second function timeout to the Netlify ten second default. Functions requiring more than three seconds will timeout. The error message occurs in lambda-local. I fixed this locally by editing the timeout in "node_modules/lambda-local/build/lib.context.js" (line 114) to 10000 (ten seconds).

Hi @krhoyt. Thanks for reporting! We haven't yet implemented function timeout defaults and user overrides (and real geolocation on function context) in the Vite plugin. We forgot to document that omission. We'll have both those features implemented soon!

This bit me today too :(

The default function timeout in production is 10s, but for some reason in local dev it's 3s? There appears to be no way to change it.

I tracked the internal netlify dev code down to the raw lambda-local package it sits in front of, which does have a --timeout option, with a default of 3 seconds. There just seems to be no way to access its options from any netlify configuration. Ultimately, I had to hack it with patch-package just in order to make our app work locally. Which is sort of funny, since our app runs perfectly in production (where the default timeout is different and longer).

@serhalp this is maybe outside the scope of this plugin? but if you have any other solutions, I'd appreciate it :)
