res.sendFile returning different results when run locally vs in Lambda

The below code returns different results based on running it locally vs running it on Lambda. Locally this returns a javascript file properly formatted. However, when I deploy to Lambda I get a base64 encoded blob that is not readable by my application. I have this set up as a proxy integration with API gateway, so it should not be altering the payload at all, and yet it is. Why is this library (or lambda) forcing a base64 encoded response?

'use strict'
const path = require('path')
const compression = require('compression')
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const cors = require('cors')
const awsServerlessExpressMiddleware = require('aws-serverless-express/middleware')
const app = express()


app.set('view engine', 'pug')
app.use(compression())
app.use(cors())
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
app.use(awsServerlessExpressMiddleware.eventContext())

app.get('/widget/:widgetId', (req, res) => {
	console.log(req)
	res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/javascript')
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/widget/bundle.js'), {}, function (err) {
    	if(err) {
    		console.log(err)
    	} else {
    		console.log("no error")
    	}
    })
})

// app.listen(3000, function () {
//   console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!')
// })

module.exports = app

Yes, click on your API and then click Binary Support

Is there a way to do that in the AWS UI?

@JensenTStava did you resolve this? You could try modifying your API Gateway API Binary types to include */* and then redeploy.
