Serverless plugin "serverless-iam-roles-per-function" not found in GHA

[ryanbell1997]

Issue description

I have a GHA workflow to deploy a couple of Lambda functions which has been working absolutely fine for weeks, perhaps even months now. This morning however, I've tried running the workflow and I've been encountering issues.

This is the error I get

✖ Serverless plugin "serverless-iam-roles-per-function" not found. Make sure it's installed and listed in the "plugins" section of your serverless config file. Run "serverless plugin install -n serverless-iam-roles-per-function" to install it.

For help, try the following:
  • Run the command again with the "--debug" option
  • Run "serverless support"
  • Review the docs: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/

I cannot make sense of it at all. Is this a problem that only I am having?

[garethmcc]

@ryanbell1997 Are you able to run the command npm install --save-dev serverless-iam-roles-per-function within that workflow to ensure that the plugin is installed with npm and try again?

[ryanbell1997]

Hey @garethmcc I can do. I did try adding it as a separate line, but I had the same issue. 🤔

Now I'm getting this

internal/process/esm_loader.js:74

Why do I need timers? :-)

I did try npm install timers, but no luck.

This was solved by using Nodejs v20+.
