Lambda unzipped size too large

No. I'm using Fargate now. Just thought Lambda would just less heavy hitting which is why I was trying it first.

Hello @jdelaune 👋 .

First, a couple of notes:

• Please don't include artillery-engine-playwright as a dependency. Artillery itself bundles it, so it's unneeded.
• Playwright is also not needed, and in fact we recommend not installing it as a dependency unless you pin to the specific version Artillery is using, since it installs specific browser versions for compatibility.

But the actual reason this is happening is likely due to the Lambda code which detects dependencies is picking up your package.json and installing everything there, so it's installing artillery again, etc (causing the bundle size to go quite high).

To prevent this, can you try changing the scenario location to not be in the same folder where the package.json is? That should prevent it detecting the package.json and installing all those dependencies that are likely causing this. Thanks!

Also, just an aside, but Playwright is not compatible with running tests on Lambda. If you need to run Playwright tests in distributed mode, please use Fargate.

If it's not support then I won't continue with my efforts. Thanks :)

Hi @jdelaune , just out of curiosity, anything preventing you from using Fargate instead of Lambda? It works in a very similar way to how Lambda would and should require minimal effort to setup, but the support is much more enhanced from our side. Thanks!
