Won't work after change.

Hey there. I tried to make it work. If I just upload your ZIP to lambda and run the function, it works. So I decided to change a bit of code in lambda_function.py, and that's only to edit line 49, driver.get('http://www.geneva.info/') after this change, I pack it back to ZIP, upload and run test. I get this error:

I use Selenium on Windows, but I am fairly new to AWS. What is a problem here and how to make it work? Thank you.

Hi, I had the same issue on Windows environment, but was able to resolve it by using Ubuntu instead. It appears Windows default zip application does not always correctly handle Linux file attributes.

Here's the steps I took to make it work. If you only have Windows environment, try using Windows Subsystem for Linux.

On Ubuntu,

# Install zip and unzip
sudo apt-get install zip unzip

# Download lambda_function.zip from this repository
wget https://github.com/ManivannanMurugavel/selenium-python-aws-lambda/raw/master/lambda_function.zip

# Create a folder to store the content of lambda_function.zip
mkdir lambda_function

# Unzip lambda_function.zip into the folder you just created
unzip lambda_function.zip -d lambda_function/

# Go into the folder
cd lambda_function

# Now, modify lambda_function.py however you want.

# Create a new zip file with your changes
zip -r {your_desired_destination_folder}/lambda_function.zip *

Then, upload the newly created lambda_function.zip to your AWS S3. Hope this helps!
