Prefect Community

Getting an error when calling prefect client api through a lambda function:
```"RuntimeError: Orion requires sqlite &gt;= 3.24.0 but we found version 3.7.17\n"```
I am using prefect2 cloud app with no changes for sqlite. Any ideas why this is happening?

Sounds like `PREFECT_API_URL` isn’t set in the lambda, is it?

Basically I don’t think we should check the SQLite version unless you’re not connecting to an API server.

hmm… I am fetching the `PREFECT_API_URL` in the lambda from AWS SSM prior to creating the prefect client.

But I guess it’s probably too late because prefect module has already been loaded and it does not find PREFECT_API_URL ? So this should be set in the ENV before any modules are loaded?

Is there a way to instantiate settings from os env after prefect module has been loaded?

Yeah you want to set it beforehand. You can do `with prefect.settings.temporary_settings():`

I’m not sure that will force a load from the environment again

I also noticed an error on the lambda invocation:
```/var/task/prefect/context.py:493: UserWarning: Failed to create the Prefect home directory at /home/sbx_user1051/.prefect```
Is this important to fix? I can try to set PREFECT_HOME to a directory where the lambda will have write permission.

btw, I was able to set PREFECT_API_URL through the serverless environment so it should be available prior to module loading. so thanks for helping with that.

Hm I’m not sure what will happen if the home directory can’t be created — it’ll fail when you’re not connecting to an external API but it should be fine when you are.

You can always change the home directory if you need to :+1:

not sure what you mean by “connecting to an external API”. I am connecting to the prefect cloud server.
