sys.exit() GCP 云 Function

Question

Have written GCP Cloud Function in Python 3.7. While executing, sys.exit() I'm getting 'A server error occurred...'. I need to exit out of the function and have written following code.

import sys 
if str(strEnabled) == 'True':
        printOperation = "Operation: Enabling of user" 
else:
        sys.exit() #Exit From the Program

Please suggest, what I'm missing here.

Answer 1

Use return instead of sys.exit

Answer 2

If you are calling a function from another function and needs to directly exit from the inner function without return you can use abort .

abort will directly return the response and exit the program from the place you are calling it.

import sys 
from flask import abort

if str(strEnabled) == 'True':
    printOperation = "Operation: Enabling of user" 
else:
    # abort(200) #return 200
    abort(500, description="Exit") #return 500

Note: cloud functions use flask module internally, so you need not install it separately.
