python3.8 debugging broken due to AWS Lambda bootstrap changes

See original GitHub issue

Description

aws-sam-cli makes the assumption that /var/runtime/bootstrap on the python3.8 runtime is a python file:

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sam-cli/blob/89c5ed09f4c791f8f863b1057d3973944b87d80f/samcli/local/docker/lambda_debug_settings.py#L205

Which was true until today – it seems the AWS Lambda runtime team has updated it to be a bash file.

So users currently trying to use aws-sam-cli for debugging the python3.8 runtime will see a syntax error.

/var/runtime/bootstrap.py can now be run as main, so the argument could just be updated to that, or aws-sam-cli could use the new AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER env variable that’s been introduced on the Amazon Linux 2 runtimes.

FWIW @styfle that env variable is finally documented in public 😉

It’s not. It’s new. And… that’s all I can say about that for now 😆
