Lambda - cannot find user home directory to store configuration files

See original GitHub issue

trying to get a lambda function up and running but am running into an error just importing it into a file (not even using or calling the library) here is the error

{
    "errorType": "Error",
    "errorMessage": "cannot find user home directory to store configuration files",
    "stack": [
        "Error: cannot find user home directory to store configuration files",
        "    at getDefaultConfigFilePath (/var/task/node_modules/jsforce/lib/registry/file.js:42:11)",
        "    at new FileRegistry (/var/task/node_modules/jsforce/lib/registry/file.js:64:47)",
        "    at Object.<anonymous> (/var/task/node_modules/jsforce/lib/registry/index.js:47:98)",
        "    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:956:30)",
        "    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:973:10)",
        "    at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:812:32)",
        "    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:724:14)",
        "    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:849:19)",
        "    at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:74:18)",
        "    at Object.<anonymous> (/var/task/node_modules/jsforce/lib/jsforce.js:38:40)"
    ]
}

i understand the cli saves to ~/.jsforce/config.json, but that doesn’t seem to be required for non-cli usage. is there anyway to override this check?

solved:

to fix this add an environment variable to your lambda function that points it to /tmp HOME=/tmp

This might not be the solution for all users of this module! The default should actually be something in the “node_modules” folder itself. What if I can’t set an ENV variable?
