Getting REQUEST ENTITY TOO LARGE error on deploy, the requirements are fairly minimalistic

[manangupta19]

I have the following dependencies in my requirements.txt:
fastapi
numpy
opencv-python-headless
python-multipart

The other files are only a few KBs in size. The exact error is:
Error: failed to update dependencies: Request entity too large

Clone the micro using deta clone in a new directory and check if there is any unnecessary /tmp directory created in it.

[manangupta19]

Did this. No /tmp directory created. Only what I had put there.

[AyushSehrawat]

Clone the repo and try to see if it has anything necessary, and also remove all the dependencies (empty requirements) , deploy, add again and deploy

[manangupta19]

@AyushSehrawat created a new micro, still the same.

@mikBighne98 But that doesn't make sense. There are only two major dependencies but they don't go over 100MB combined and the other files aren't of a significant size either.

[mikBighne98]

Installed opencv-python-headless on my machine and it seems like after installation it takes almost 200 MB of storage and it installs numpy by default. So I removed numpy from requirements and deployed with fastapi, opencv-python-headless, python-multipart and it deployed successfully and logged that numpy was installed. So give it a try and let us know.

[manangupta19]

opencv-python-headless is what seems to be giving me the problem. I only put fastapi and opencv-python-headless in there and it's still giving an error. No idea what you are doing differently.

[manangupta19]

Yeah, I don't even have python-multipart currently. Still not working. I am starting to give up on this and look for alternatives at this point.

[rohanshiva]

Please try creating a new micro with the following requirements.txt:

fastapi
python-multipart

The problem seems to be due to opencv-python-headless

[mikBighne98]

Then how it got deployed with my micro 🤔?

[manangupta19]

I need opencv for the api to work though, can't do it without.

[manangupta19]

@mikBighne98 are you on the most basic free plan?
