Unable to import module 'wsgi_handler': No module named 'werkzeug'

[bibbycodes]

I keep getting this error in my AWS logs when trying to deploy using serverless:

Unable to import module 'wsgi_handler': No module named 'werkzeug'

It seems that the zip folder containing the app does not contain the right packages as specified in my requirements.txt and there is no .requirements folder either.

I have explicitly specified werkzeug in my requirements .txt and yet this package cannot be installed.

My serverless .yml:

service: serverless-flask
plugins:

• serverless-python-requirements
• serverless-wsgi
• serverless-dynamodb-local
  custom:
  tableName: 'transactions-table-${self:provider.stage}'
  wsgi:

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Can you guys rollback and version pin your version of serverless wsgi and make sure to be using the latest version of this plugin and try again? I suspect it is the plugin. I will do some testing of my own shortly.

[4lph4-Ph4un]

Mine was a false alarm, provided by not pointing to the correct requirements.txt, so all clear here even with the new version.

[Csanchezz]

did somebody find a way to fix this?

I found this in stackoverflow and it works I downgrade Flask to 1.1.4

Flask, Werkzeug and other pallets projects just had a major update, dropping python2 support and deleting _compat module. And AWS has't resolve the capability issue yet.
The simplest fix will be downgrading Flask, Werkzeug, etc. to the previous major version.

For anyone here, this is solved since version 2.0.0.

Run sls plugin install -n serverless-wsgi on your terminal inside your project folder.
(At this moment, these command installs 3.0.0 version)

[mohammad-aqajani]

(take care this message means that aws lambda does not load any packages as layer)

for mine:
1- docker installed
2- create requirements.txt
3- reduce serverless framework version from 5.x to 4.x

Output:

Facing the same issue, anyone found a solution?

[pgrzesik]

Could you share more context about your specific setup @victorstefan13? Are you using Flask or a similar framework? If yes, what version?

[victorstefan13]

So I managed to fix this. I think the issue was actually related to our deployment pipelines. I went down the route of pre-packing the app by creating a package directory and installing the python requirements within that directory - pip install -r requirements.txt -t package --no-deps --no-binary pydantic, copying my app to that directory and zipping the folder. Then in the serverless.yml file I specified the zipped package with artifact: package.zip. Thanks for your help!
