My Swift Lambda for AWS works fine, until I add URLSession

Question

I've got a Swift Lambda made for AWS. I can run it in Xcode locally or deploy to AWS using Docker and the Docker build script.

If I add URLSession() to my code, I can still run it locally via Xcode, but the Docker build breaks:

[35/36] Linking HelloWorld

I am using this build script:

docker run \
    --rm \
    --volume "$(pwd)/:/src" \
    --workdir "/src/" \
    swift:5.3.1-amazonlinux2 \
    swift build --product HelloWorld -c release -Xswiftc -static-stdlib

I've also tried 5.4.3 and 5.5.0 -amazonlinux2, but they each give a different set of errors. (I can provide those if helpful)

How do I get around this?

Try installing `curl` on your docker container, perhaps? [See here for how](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34571711/cant-run-curl-command-inside-my-docker-container) — Sweeper, Oct 26 '21 at 10:09
No luck. I went through the process, and at the end I verified that curl was available by using it. However, my build still fails. I think I need the curl library and not the CL command. — mahboudz, Oct 26 '21 at 18:22

I got it working:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --volume "$(pwd)/:/src" \
  --workdir "/src/" \
  swift:5.3.1-amazonlinux2 \
  /bin/bash -c "yum install -y libcurl-devel && \
  swift build --product HelloWorld -c release -Xswiftc -static-stdlib"

This will install what is needed for the linking to succeed.
