[SOLVED] I'm having a problem running bcrypt on AWS Lambda NodeJS, Can someone help me?

Issue

This is the error shown while running.

On bcrypt's GitHub wiki, they say that it is a native module for node-js and that it requires a compiler and build dependencies in order to build. What am I doing wrong, can someone please help me

{
"errorType": "Error",
"errorMessage": "/var/task/node_modules/bcrypt/lib/binding/napi-v3/bcrypt_lib.node: invalid ELF header",

]

}

Solution

I was having the same problem,solved it by using **bcryptjs** (npm i bcryptjs) instead of bcrypt package.

It appears bcrypt fails on lambda because it uses node-gyp to build and install - not sure though will have to work though it.

Until then, bcryptjs works.
