Error "Read-only file system" in AWS Lambda when downloading a file from S3
Full error message
I'm seeing the below error from my lambda function when I drop a file.csv into an S3 bucket. The file is not large and I even added a 60 second sleep prior to opening the file for reading, but for some reason the file has the extra ".6CEdFe7C" appended to it. Why is that?
[Errno 30] Read-only file system: u'/file.csv.6CEdFe7C': IOError

IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: u'/file.csv.6CEdFe7C'
Code:
def lambda_handler(event, context):
s3_response = {}
counter = 0
event_records = event.get("Records", [])
s3_items = []
for event_record in event_records:
if "s3" in event_record:
bucket = event_record["s3"]["bucket"]["name"]
key = event_record["s3"]["object"]["key"]
filepath = '/' + key
print(bucket)
print(key)
print(filepath)
s3.download_file(bucket, key, filepath)
The result of the above is:
mytestbucket
file.csv
/file.csv
[Errno 30] Read-only file system: u'/file.csv.6CEdFe7C'
If the key/file is "file.csv", then why does the s3.download_file method try to download "file.csv.6CEdFe7C"? I'm guessing when the function is triggered, the file is file.csv.xxxxx but by the time it gets to line 75, the file is renamed to file.csv?Solutionsource: stackoverflow \u2197
Only /tmp seems to be writable in AWS Lambda. Therefore this would work: filepath = '/tmp/' + key References: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/choosing-between-aws-lambda-data-storage-options-in-web-apps https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/gettingstarted-limits.html
