aws codeBuild buildspec.yml example for github

I am trying to use AWS CodeBuild for building my code from github. These are the steps I followed so far,

  • 1) Created a windows docker image with all the pre-req software needed (git, npm, node.js etc) and pushed to Amazon ECS.

  • 2)Created a project in AWS CodeBuild using

  • a) github as the source (What to build)

  • b) docker image created in Step 1 (How to build)

    I setup buildspec.yml as below:

env:

#variables:    
#parameter-store:    
phases:
#install:     
#pre_build:    
build:
commands:
    - git clone https://github.com/OrgName/RepName.git "c:\www\localfolder"     
#post_build:    
#artifacts:
 #files:

But this is always failing during DOWNLOAD_SOURCE STEP saying "CodeBuild is experiencing Issues"

Please suggest how to setup buildspec.yml for github clone\fetch\checkout purpose.

Thanks.

The issue you encountered may not be related to git clone\fetch\checkout failure. The build could also fail at "DOWNLOAD_SOURCE" step if CodeBuild failed/timed out when pulling the Windows Docker image; especially when the image is large.

Workarounds you can try:

1) use the windows image provided by CodeBuild and install the pre-req software during the install phase. (you will need to update your buildspec.yml)

OR

2) use a BUILD_GENERAL1_LARGE instance. maybe you will need to increase the timeout too.
