[Django] Plugin assumes app is in current directory

I’m using serverless to deploy a Django (REST Framework) API as an AWS Lambda function, and I’m also going to be deploying other Lambda functions that are not WSGI apps. I have this all in one repo right now, with serverless.yml alongside api, where api is the Django project directory.

Thus, I set custom.wsgi.app: api.api.wsgi.application. This allows the WSGI handler to find my app just fine, but when the app runs, it appears that the working directory is still the root of my repo, rather than the root of the Django app, because I get an import error on api.settings. I get the same error message when deploying the endpoint to AWS and testing there.

Sorry if this is misfiled; I’m not sure if this is a question about Django, serverless, or serverless-wsgi, as I’m new to all of them. 😃 Is there a way to make sure the function that runs my Django app from a working directory other than where serverless.yml lives? Is that up to serverless or serverless-wsgi, or Django?

Nope; same error.

I’ll take a moment to make a repro project.
