In this article, we report the effect of the cosmological constant and the internal density energy of the cosmic string in the deflection angle of light in the spacetime of a rotating cosmic string with an internal structure. Furthermore, we revisit the deflection angle by a rotating cosmic string and provide a generalization to the deflection angle in the cosmic string spacetime using the geodesic equations and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and show an agreement between two methods in the case of higher order terms of the linear density mass of the cosmic string. By modifying the integration domain due to the global conical topology, we were able to solve the inconsistency between these two methods regarding the effect of the rotating of the cosmic string previously reported in the literature. We show that the deflection angle is not affected by the rotating of the cosmic string however, the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ completely affect the deflection angle and generalizes the well known result.
