S3 upload fails with "Need to rewind the stream" error

[westcool10]

I encountered the following error while playing with zappa:
Packaging project as zip...
Uploading zip (15.1MiB)...
0%| | 0.00/15.9M [00:00<?, ?it/s]Failed to upload zappa-beta-1461586412.zip to scoop-lambda/zappa-beta-1461586412.zip: Need to rewind the stream <boto3.s3.transfer.ReadFileChunk object at 0x1070a2690>, but stream is not seekable.

I manually tried to upload a file to the same bucket using AWS CLI tool and it worked without any issue. Is this a known problem?

Same here 😞

[Miserlou]

Hm, can you check if this still happens in version-minus-point-one? I merged in a PR yesterday, perhaps that's causing this.

[codingjoe]

yes

works on 0.16.0

[bennybauer]

I had this issue today too, but apparently the problem was with aws_region. Make sure you haven't already created the bucket, and if you did, make sure it's in the region you expect it to be.

[Miserlou]

What was the problem with aws_region? It should warn about that.

I'm worried this is related to dependencies. It also shows the problems of using placebo for our testing! :[

[Miserlou]

Not able to reproduce with latest code and deps.

Can you please give the command you used (deploy? update?) and your zappa_settings so that I can diagnose?

[codingjoe]

deploy

[codingjoe]

@bennybauer isn't S3 region independent?

[Miserlou]

Hm, can't reproduce. Are you using any other zappa_settings?

[westcool10]

I also tried with 0.16.0 and verified it working. This is my zappa_settings:
{
"beta": {
"aws_region": "ap-northeast-1",
"s3_bucket": "scoop-lambda",
"app_function": "scoop.api.server.app"
}
}

[westcool10]

Hmm. Interesting. I tried from version 1.17.0 to 1.17.5 and it works with all versions now. I can't repro it anymore.

[Miserlou]

Weird. Maybe it was related to an AWS outage?

[Miserlou]

I'm going to leave this ticket open until we can resolve the source of the issue, but I hope that things are working well for you now.

Thanks for using Zappa, please let me know if there's anything else we can do to improve it!

[bennybauer]

@codingjoe S3 has regions and us-east-1 is the default. You can choose it when you create the bucket. More here: http://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs/#regions

[Miserlou]

@bennybauer and @codingjoe - can you confirm that this problem has resolved itself?

[bennybauer]

@Miserlou I don't know if it was related, but it started working only when region in zappa_settings.json was set to 'us-east-1'.
I tried to reproduce it now, and I see that if I enter a different region it still creates the bucket in US Standard (us-east-1) but then fails on (same error mentioned by @codingjoe):
An error occurred (InvalidParameterValueException) when calling the CreateFunction operation: Error occurred while GetObject. S3 Error Code: PermanentRedirect. S3 Error Message: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.
It seems like a different issue though.

[bennybauer]

@Miserlou I was able to reproduce:

1. Go to AWS S3 console and create the bucket, choose other region than us-east-1 (I chose eu-west-1)
2. In zappa_settings.json: set "aws_region": "eu-west-1"
3. deploy
   I get:

[Miserlou]

Ah! Excellent!

Okay, great, thanks for reporting steps. Looks like it's not respecting the aws_region setting when creating the Lambda function.

[Miserlou]

Do you have multiple profiles in your AWS credentials file?

[bennybauer]

Yes :)

[Miserlou]

Okay, this one ended up being super weird.

I honestly still don't know what's happening here since here, but I've opened an upstream ticket to hopefully explain this.

I haven't actually fixed the bug, but I have implemented a workaround. The drawback is that there won't be a progress bar for some S3 regions, but that's not the end of the world.

Fix pushed in 0.17.6.

[codingjoe]

For the record, I had only one profile in AWS config while executing the command.
