How to upload an object into Amazon S3 in Lambda

0 votes

Can't seem to upload an object into S3 in Lambda. Everything works fine locally. No errors in logs that would show what's going wrong.

Code below:

console.log('Loading function');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var s3 = new AWS.S3();

exports.handler = function(event, context) {
    //console.log(JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
    var s3 = new AWS.S3();
    var param = {Bucket: 'flow-logs', Key: 'test-lambda-x', Body: 'me me me'};
    console.log("s3");
    s3.upload(param, function(err, data) {
        if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
        else console.log(data);           // successful response
    });
    console.log('done');
    context.done();
};

Runs successfully without error, but the callback in s3.upload doesn't seem to be called. No object in the bucket is created.

Verified IAM role permissions weren't a problem by granting full access, as well as testing out locally.

I suspect you are calling the context.done() function before s3.upload() has a chance to return. If you move context.done() into the upload response code block, it should work.

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var s3 = new AWS.S3();

exports.handler = function(event, context) {
    //console.log(JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
    var s3 = new AWS.S3();
    var param = {Bucket: 'flow-logs', Key: 'test-lambda-x', Body: 'me me me'};
    console.log("s3");
    s3.upload(param, function(err, data) {
        if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
        else console.log(data);           // successful response

        console.log('actually done!');
        context.done();
    });

    console.log('done?');
    //context.done();
};
