I've set up a new pipeline in AWS CodePipeline, and connected it to my GitHub account. I'm getting build errors in CodeBuild because a folder that is in my GitHub repository, static/css/, is missing (I'm using CodeBuild to do a gatsby build).
This is not a folder generated in the build process - this folder and its files exist in a clean repo. I've also checked that the branch is correct (master).
When I inspect the zip file in the SourceArtifacts folder in my S3 bucket, this folder is not there.
Any ideas why CodePipeline is not retrieving, or at least keeping, this subfolder and its contents?
Go to your Github repo and select the Green button "Clone or Download", then download the zip file. This is essentially what CodePipeline is doing to get your Github source. Now inspect the files in the zip file and confirm if 'static' directory is there. If it is not there you need to fix that and get the files into github.
It turned out that the missing folder was listed with an export-ignore attribute in the .gitattributes folder. The static/css folder got zipped up with everything else after removing this attribute.

I am running a build through a Codebuildpipeine. I am uploading artifacts based on each stage as documented which is working fine. As you know each time a build is run the artifact folder creates a new folder for the new set of artifacts (all in S3) to be uploaded. What I want to do is retrieve the new folder name that is created in the Artifact folder into my buildspec so I can use it as a variable. Does anyone have a link or a way I can reference this? I would be willing to settle if I can get the entire URL where I can parse it?
I've had this running months ago, so I know it works, but have created a new EC2 instance to deploy my code and stuck at the first hurdle.
My Deployment Details runs as follows:
Application Stop - succeeded
Download Bundle - succeeded
BeforeInstall - Failed
Upon looking at the failed event, I get:
The CodeDeploy agent did not find an AppSpec file within the unpacked revision directory at revision-relative path "appspec.yml". The revision was unpacked to directory "C:\ProgramData/Amazon/CodeDeploy/57f7ec1b-0452-444e-840c-4deb4566e82d/d-WH9HTZAW0/deployment-archive", and the AppSpec file was expected but not found at path "C:\ProgramData/Amazon/CodeDeploy/57f7ec1b-0452-444e-840c-4deb4566e82d/d-WH9HTZAW0/deployment-archive/appspec.yml". Consult the AWS CodeDeploy Appspec documentation for more information at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/reference-appspec-file.html
Thing is, if I jump onto my EC2 and copy and paste the full path, sure enough I see the YML file, along with the files that were in a ZIP file within my S3 bucket, so they've been successfully sent to the EC2 and unzipped.
So I'm sure it's not a permissions things, the connection is being clearly made, and the S3 Bucket, CodeDeploy and my EC2 are all happy.
I read various posts on StackOverflow about changing the AppSpec.yml file to "appspec.yml", "AppSpec.yaml", "appspec.yaml", and still nothing works.
Anything obvious to try out?
OK, after a few days back and forth, the solution was incredibly annoying (and embarrassing)...
On my EC2 instance, the "File Name Extensions" was unticked, so my AppSpec.yml was actually AppSpec.yml.txt
IF anyone else has a similar issue, do check this first!!
How are you zipping the file. A lot of times users end up "double-zipping". To check if you unzip the .zip file does it gives you the files or the folder?
When we zip a folder on Windows, it basically creates a folder inside the zip folder and thus, CodeDeploy agent cannot read it. So to zip the artifact, please select all the files and then right click to zip it on the same location. This would avoid creating a new folder inside the zip.
The CodeDeploy agent did not find an AppSpec file within the unpacked revision directory at revision-relative path "appspec.yml".
The revision was unpacked to directory "/opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/0bb5a5aa-5894-4575-a69c-a7a4e79b4cdf/d-HQ5GBC7SW/deployment-archive"
The AppSpec file was expected but not found at path "/opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/0bb5a5aa-5894-4575-a69c-a7a4e79b4cdf/d-HQ5GBC7SW/deployment-archive/appspec.yml".
I had the same problem and the other answer helped me reach the right conclusion. In my situation, I had the appspec.yml file in my git repo, but I forgot to add it to the artifact files section. As a result, the appspec.yml wasn't included in the zip and so the deployment step couldn't find it.
In your buildspec.yml, add:
artifacts:
files:
- appspec.yml
- ... other files to include in your build ...
I had some other errors in my deployment configuration too. Looking at the bottom of the log file helped discover them:
less /var/log/aws/codedeploy-agent/codedeploy-agent.log
At one point, my EC2 instance also hung when trying to run a deployment and stopping and restarting the codedeploy agent didn't help. I had to completely restart the EC2 instance.
These docs where helpful: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build-spec-ref.html
Are you putting the appspec.yml file at root level of your folder bundle? If yes, how are you creating the bundle? If you are just creating a .zip then you need to make sure you are adding the files to the zip instead of a folder.
Adding onto Aura's answer which solved it for me. Thank you again Aura! For mac users:
To create a zip with all of the files, open up the folder you want to zip in finder, highlight all of files (use command A), right click and then select "Compress XYZ items".
The mistake you might be making is right clicking on the folder itself and clicking "Compress FolderName".
The problem with compressing the entire folder is that the "unpacked directory" ends up being a directory itself. Hence, when the CodeDeploy agent goes looking for the appspec.yml file, it will see something like this "FolderName/" rather than the contents of the FolderName (which should include an appspec.yml).
Hope this extra detail helps.
#It seems to have a successful deployment at some point of time.
It's looking for the most recent deployment and if it's not available above error will occur.
Go into /opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/deployment-instructions/ and delete all the files in there.
#Then it won't look for this last deploy.
Not the most useful answer. But I had this problem as well as codebuild could not find the scripts defined in appspec.yml I spent a whole day and then at the end just started rebooted the ec2 and it was able to find the scripts. 😖
Issue can be fixed by:
Edit your aws codepipeline.
Edit the codedeploy configuration.
select "SourceArtifact" in input artifacts. (This will deploy all the source code to your desired server and location along with appspec.yml file.)
I am using s3 plugin in Jenkins to copy my project from GIT to S3.
Its working fine; except that it copies only the top level files. It doesn't copy the subdirectories or the files with in the sub directory.
How can I achieve a full copy?
It depends on your OS where the Jenkins job is executed: JENKINS issue 27576 seems to indicate it was an issue, but PR 55 also shows the right syntax to use for a recursive upload:
We had the S3 plugin configured with the source parameter as trunk/build/resources/**/* on Windows builders.
So in your case, make sure your path to upload finishes with /**/* in order to consider all files.
Ant -- copying files and subdirectories from only one subdirectory on a tree
This helped me a lot
if you only what to upload to s3 the whole folder use: foldername/**/
i used this to host a nuxt project in s3 with the dist generated folder.
So I am attempting to setup CodeDeploy for my application and I keep getting an error during the BeforeInstall part of the deployment. Below is the error.
Error Code UnknownError
Script Name
Message No such file or directory - /opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/06100f1b-5495-42d9-bd01-f33d59fb5deb/d-NL5K1THE8/deployment-archive/appspec.yml
Log Tail
I assumed this meant the YAML file was in the wrong place. However it is in the root directory of my revision. I have tried using a simple AppSpec file like so instead of a more complex one.
## YAML Template.
---
version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
- source: /
destination: /home/ubuntu/www
More or less since this is a first deployment I want it to add all files in the revision to the public directory on the web server.
I am tearing my hair out over this and I feel it is a simple issue. I have the IAM policies and roles correct and I have CodeDeploy setup and running on my instance I am trying to deploy to.
It seems to think you had a successful deploy at some point.
Go into /opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/deployment-instructions/ and delete all the files in there. Then it won't look for this last deploy.
I just had this SAME problem and I figured it out! Make sure your AppSpec file has the right EXTENSION! I was using yaml and not yml, now everything works perfectly.
I made it work like this:
I had a couple of failed deployments for various reasons.
The thing is that CD keeps in the EC2 instance and in the path /opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/​ a folder named by the ID of the failed deployment [a very long alphanumeric sting] .
Delete this folder and create a new deployment [from the aws UI console] and redeploy the application. This way the appspec.yml file that is in the wrong place will be deleted.
It should now succeed.
Extra Notice:
CD does not rewrite files [that have not been created by it's specific deployment]
CodeDeploy does not deploy in a folder that there is already code[files] as it does not want to interfere with different CD deployments and/or other CI/CD tools [like Jenkins].
It only deploys in a path that has already deploy code with the specific deployment.
You can empty the folder where your deployment want to happen and redeploy your code via CD.
When you login to the host, do you see the appspec.yml file in the directory there? If not are you positive it has been checked in with the rest of your deployed code?
Just encountered this issue too. In my case, the revision zip file extracts into a directory when deployed. Because of that /opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/xxx/xxx/deployment-archive contains the parent directory of my revision files (instead of the actual revision files).
The key is to compress your revision without the parent directory. In mac terminal,
cd your-app-directory-containing-appspec
zip -r app.zip .
