Lambda timeout value not changing after timeout key added to Chalice config.json

Question

I want my AWS Lambda function to run for longer than the default 60 seconds so have added the timeout key to config.json

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "app_name": "mychaliceapp",
  "stages": {
    "dev": {
      "api_gateway_stage": "api",
      "lambda_functions": {
        "mylambdafunction": {
          "lambda_timeout": 120
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

There is no error when running the chalice deploy command but the timeout had not changed:

How can I add the timeout value correctly?

Answer 1

As per this issue on Github it works if I keep timeout in the scope of stages directly and not in functions.

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "app_name": "mychaliceapp",
  "stages": {
    "dev": {
      "api_gateway_stage": "api",
      "lambda_timeout": 120
    }
  }
}
