Lambda not triggering codebuild to run? - amazon-web-services

Question

I am trying to have lambda trigger a codebuild function when it hits the point within the lambda function, here is the current code im using for lamda:
console.log('Loading function');
const aws = require('aws-sdk');
const s3 = new aws.S3();
exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
const codebuild = new aws.CodeBuild();
let body = JSON.parse(event.body);
let key = body.model;
var getParams = {
Bucket: 'bucketname', // your bucket name,
Key: key + '/config/training_parameters.json' // path to the object you're looking for
}
if (key) {
const objects = await s3.listObjects({
Bucket: 'bucketname',
Prefix: key + "/data"
}).promise();
console.log(objects)
if (objects.Contents.length == 3) {
console.log("Pushing")
await s3.getObject(getParams, function(err, data) {
if (err)
console.log(err);
if (data) {
let objectData = JSON.parse(data.Body.toString('utf-8'));
const build = {
projectName: "projname",
environmentVariablesOverride: [
{
name: 'MODEL_NAME',
value: objectData.title,
type: 'PLAINTEXT',
},
]
};
console.log(objectData.title)
codebuild.startBuild(build,function(err, data){
if (err) {
console.log(err, err.stack);
}
else {
console.log(data);
}
});
console.log("Done with codebuild")
}
}).promise();
const message = {
'message': 'Execution started successfully!',
}
return {
'statusCode': 200,
'headers': {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
'body': JSON.stringify(message)
};
}
}
};
Specifically this part should trigger it:
codebuild.startBuild(build,function(err, data){
if (err) {
console.log(err, err.stack);
}
else {
console.log(data);
}
});
But its not, it even outputs after the function? Im thinking its something to do with promises/await/async but cant find the right solution? Any help would be appreciated.

As you pointed out the problem is related to promises. Change your code like this:
const result = await codebuild.startBuild(build).promise();
And if you configured your lambda permissions for CodeBuild it should work.
You can change your s3.getObject the same way without the callback function:
const file = await s3.getObject(getParams).promise();
console.log(file.Body);
