Seed cannot deploy, but using cli ("sls deploy" works)

Serverless Framework
1

Hey guys,
I have connected Seed to my GitHub repo where I have a simple serverless stack defined by a serverless.yml file. I manage to deploy correctly with the cli using “sls deploy” but Seed fails to deploy with the following error “Serverless plugin “serverless-offline” not found. Make sure it’s installed and listed in the “plugins” section of your serverless config file.”
This is a very common error but serverless-offline is already listed in the plugin section of serverless.yml and also installed it with npm.

I tried to put the serverless-python-requirements plugin before serverless-offline in my serverless.yml and the deployment in Seed fails because of “Cannot find module ‘/tmp/seed/source/node_modules/serverless-python-requirements/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/index.js’. Please verify that the package.json has a valid “main” entry”. The mentioned index.js file is actually there so I am not sure why Seed fails. Manual “sls deploy” obviously works also in this case.

I find it particularly weird that, for the same code, I can deploy with “sls deploy” but Seed fails. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? Doesn’t Seed run “sls deploy” in the backend? Thank you!

I still haven’t found a solution unfortunately.

The topic was opened a while back, but for anyone else experiencing the same issue, double-check if the plugins are listed inside your package.json.

@rdarg @beonedesignsg Hope you guys got it working already. Feel free to DM or email me (frank@seed.run) the link to the build next time and I will get the team to take a look.
