AWS CLI - CodeDeploy Create-Deployment has Unknown Options error - amazon-web-services

Question

I have a normal CodeDeploy package which is able to deployed using the Console without any issues, but when using the CLI, I get a weird error.
aws deploy create-deployment --application-name MyApp --s3-location bucket=mybucket,key=My.Zip.1.1.1.zip,bundleType=zip --deployment-group-name MyDeploymentGroup --deployment-config-name CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime --description "This throwns an error"
Running the above, I get the following returned:
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:
aws help
aws <command> help
aws <command> <subcommand> help
Unknown options: bundleType=zip, key=My.Zip.1.1.1.zip
Weird, since the help does say you need bundleType and key in the s3-location parameter. Just as a test, I remove these unknown options:
aws deploy create-deployment --application-name MyApp --s3-location bucket=mybucket --deployment-group-name MyDeploymentGroup --deployment-config-name CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime --description "This throwns an error"
Which returns:
--s3-location must specify bucket, key and bundleType.
So, now you know of these options and require them? What is going on here? Am I missing something obvious?

Answer 1

When I ran the code you provided, I got the following returned:
$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.10.60 Python/2.7.11 Darwin/15.6.0 botocore/1.4.50
$ aws deploy create-deployment --application-name ...snip
An error occurred (ApplicationDoesNotExistException) when calling the CreateDeployment operation: No application found for name: MyApp
And this(AWS server side error) is the expected behaviour(I guess).
One possibility that your CLI raised the validation error is that your AWS CLI is out of date.
Which version is your AWS CLI?

Answer 2

I had the same issue. It seemed to be related to the version of PowerShell. It worked on v5, but not on v4.
To fix it, I just put double quotes around the s3-location argument:
aws deploy create-deployment --application-name MyApp --s3-location "bucket=mybucket,key=My.Zip.1.1.1.zip,bundleType=zip" --deployment-group-name MyDeploymentGroup --deployment-config-name CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime --description "This throwns an error"
