Excluded package patterns / zip file size too large

[sidewaysglance]

Hi, I run:
composer require bref/bref bref/laravel-bridge --update-with-dependencies

and then:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=serverless-config

I then run serverless deploy and get:

Resource handler returned message: "Unzipped size must be smaller than 215465505 bytes (Service: Lambda, Status Code: 400, Request ID: xxx, Extended Request ID: null)" (RequestToken: xxx, HandlerErrorCode: InvalidRequest)

I can see that in the config file it shows:

package:
    # Directories to exclude from deployment
    patterns:
        - '!node_modules/**'
        - '!public/storage'
        - '!resources/assets/**'
        - '!storage/**'
        - '!vendor/**'
        - '!tests/**'

For some reason my zip file builds with node_modules excluded but vendor present. Excluding vendor, or even some some useless subfolders in various vendor packages would reduce the zip file size suitably.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

This is weird, the '!vendor/**' line should exclude the vendor directory 🤔

You can try debugging/experimenting by running serverless package. Then in the .serverless/ directory you will find the zip file, you can check out its content without deploying.

I would try removing and re-adding lines in package.patterns one by one to see what gois wrong?

Thank you, I have managed get past this issue. I am not sure what I was doing wrong, but I changed the patterns to take out more specific vendor directories and it's doing as expected now. User error probably. Thanks
