I'm self-hosting my appwrite instance on my Macbook, and I created a Python function using the command appwrite init functions and it outputed the below into my appwrite.json file:

JSON

  "functions": [
    {
      "$id": "6822c925002b757181c0",
      "name": "Combine Function",
      "runtime": "python-3.9",
      "specification": "s-1vcpu-512mb",
      "execute": ["any"],
      "events": [],
      "scopes": ["users.read"],
      "schedule": "",
      "timeout": 15,
      "enabled": true,
      "logging": true,
      "entrypoint": "src/main.py",
      "commands": "pip install -r requirements.txt",
      "path": "functions/Combine Function"
    }
  ]

However, when I try to push my function, I get the below error when I run appwrite push functions --verbose:

Bash

✗ Error        • Combine Function (***)  • Invalid `specification` param: Specification must 
✗ Error: No functions were pushed.
AppwriteException [Error]: Invalid `specification` param: Specification must be one of:

I got this to work by switching the specification property from

JSON

"specification": "s-1vcpu-512mb",

JSON

"specifications": [
  {
    "memory": 512,
    "cpus": 1,
    "enabled": true,
    "slug": "s-1vcpu-512mb"
  }
],

Is this some issue with me self-hosting, the CLI, or the function? My CLI version is 6.2.3 and my appwrite container in my docker compose file is 1.6.1

Summary

Developers created a Python function with the Appwrite CLI version `6.2.3`, but encountered an error when pushing it due to an invalid `specification` parameter in the `appwrite.json` file. They resolved the issue by changing the `specification` property to `specifications`.
