Cannot deploy Lambda through CI pipeline in Azure Devops

Question

![Enter image description here](/media/postImages/original/IM5eDyt7YxSvW_hgw4vx9nnw)
I want to try to deploy a simple AWS stack with a VPC,Security groups and a Lambda through a pipeline in Azure Devops.
I always get this error:
Error: Cannot find asset at /home/vsts/work/1/s/lambda
If I try to deploy directly from VSO using cdk deploy everything works fine.
I have tried everything like :
code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, '../lambda')),

but no luck.

Any suggestions?

This is the code I have for creating the Lambda:

*    //create the Lambda Function with properties
    const myLambdaFunction = new lambda.Function(this, 'MyFunction', {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_16_X, // Lambda runtime environment
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset('lambda'), // Code loaded from the "lambda" directory
      handler: 'index.handler', // File is "index.js", function is "handler"
      memorySize: 128, // Optional configuration
      timeout: cdk.Duration.seconds(30), // Maximum execution time
      role: lambdaRole,  // Set the custom role for this Lambda
      vpc: vpc,
      securityGroup: securityGroup1
    });*

The structure that I have in my project can be viewed from the photo that I have uploaded.

HI

The path you've provided, "/home/vsts/work/1/s/lambda"  is likely specific to the Azure DevOps agent environment and may not be the same on your local machine.

**Use a relative path**
Change the path from  lambda.Code.fromAsset('/home/vsts/work/1/s/lambda') to  lambda.Code.fromAsset('./lambda'). This assumes your lambda code is located in a directory named "lambda" within your CDK project directory.  By using a relative path, the CDK will look for the code relative to the location of the CDK script itself.

or 
**Package your lambda** 
code as a zip:  You can create a zip file containing your lambda code and then reference the zip file during deployment. This approach can help avoid issues with relative paths. Here's an example:

```
JavaScript
const path = require('path');

const lambdaCode = lambda.Code.asset(path.join(__dirname, '../lambda.zip'));
```
