feat(lambda-python): support setting environment vars for bundling by setu4993 · Pull Request #18635 · aws/aws-cdk

setu4993 · 2022-01-25T05:19:02Z

While using the Python Lambda with Code Artifact, discovered that Code Artifact was still inaccessible because bundling occurs at run time, which can only access env vars, not build args.

This is not a security issue because bundled output doesn't contain any of the secret values.

Note: Without this, using Code Artifact (or any other private packaging for Python Lambdas) is currently broken.

+# Upgrade pip (required by cryptography v3.4 and above, which is a dependency of poetry)
+RUN pip install --upgrade pip
+RUN pip install pipenv poetry


Moved this up since if using Code Artifact, this install uses the private repo, which forces rebuilds of the Docker image every time (and skipping Docker cache).

+test('Bundling with custom build arg for `PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL`', () => {
+  const entry = path.join(__dirname, 'lambda-handler');
+  const testPypi = 'https://test.pypi.org/simple/';
+  Bundling.bundle({
+    entry: entry,
+    runtime: Runtime.PYTHON_3_7,
+    buildArgs: { PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL: testPypi },
+  });
+
+  expect(DockerImage.fromBuild).toHaveBeenCalledWith(expect.stringMatching(path.join(__dirname, '../lib')), expect.objectContaining({
+    buildArgs: expect.objectContaining({
+      PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL: testPypi,
+    }),
+  }));
+});


Added this to pacify the validate-pr CI. Not sure if there's a way to validate env vars in Docker images (the change we are making here).

@corymhall : Any feedback on this? Tiny fix, so would be great to get into the next release.

Alternatively, this could be passed as environment variables to the BundlingOptions, but that'd require quite a bit more of refactoring to modify the current DockerImage.fromBuild(...) call, which doesn't support the environment prop.

I think it should be pretty easy to add environment variable support. You just need to add environment to BundlingOptions and then assign it to a public environment property on Bundling. Those env vars then get added to the Docker environment.

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/aws-lambda-nodejs/lib/bundling.ts

Line 82 in 2465b51

public readonly environment?: { [key: string]: string };

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/aws-lambda-nodejs/lib/bundling.ts

Line 146 in 2465b51

this.environment = props.environment;

Neat! I thought I was missing something obvious. Thanks for the pointer, updating the PR.

+The index URL or the token are only used during bundling and thus not included in the final asset.


Added note about tokens not being persisted in the final asset.

-This type of an example should work for `pip` and `poetry` based dependencies, but will not work for `pipenv`.
+**Note:** Setting custom build args for bundling will force the base bundling image to be rebuilt every time (i.e. skip the Docker cache).


And about rebuilding Docker images for bundling if using build args.

Running into this also made clear how we could use pipenv with Code Artifact.

Why does pipenv require both env vars and build args?

Thanks for asking, @corymhall. That was an incorrect note on my part stemming from how bundling was occurring earlier (in the Docker build step), and I didn't completely understand it since I don't use pipenv.

Over the last couple days, I created a test project with pipenv and validated installing a package into it that is only on Test PyPI. It works with the PIP_INDEX_URL environment variable set (same as for pip and poetry), which it'll be when the Docker run step occurs. I updated the documentation now to reflect that.
