Synatx error in AWS Python Lambda function

Question

When we update the Lambda function like below

Before update (snippet):

cookie_present = event_headers.get("cookie")
if not cookie_present:
    cookie.load(event_headers["Cookie"])
auth_access_token = cookie["auth_access_token"].value

After update:

cookie_present = event_headers.get("cookie")
if not cookie_present:
    print("inside if cookie_present")
    cookie.load(event_headers["Cookie"])
else:
    print("inside else cookie_present")
    cookie.load(event_headers["cookie"])
auth_access_token = cookie["auth_access_token"].value

Upon executing the lambda function after the update, we can see the following errors in the cloudwatch logs

[ERROR] Runtime.UserCodeSyntaxError: Syntax error in module 'lambda_function': invalid syntax (lambda_function.py, line 112)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/task/lambda_function.py" Line 112
                auth_access_token = cookie["auth_access_token"].value

But there is no syntax error in the code, we tried to update the same exact code in a another different lambda function, there the same function executed properly without any issues. ( i.e no syntax error ).

We also faced similar kind of issues in other lambda functions but upon redeployment they are executing properly without any issues. Can you please help us to find out the exact reason for this or this there anything to do with lambda itself?

More details: We are using

• Python 3.9 runtime
• Architecture x86_64
