AWS CodeBuild - cd: can't cd to /codebuild/output/src… error and artifacts path not found

votes

===============

I'm new to AWS CodeBuild. We are trying it for the first time. I set up my Buildspec.yml file and when I run it I get errors indicating that it cd: can't cd to /codebuild/output/src.... throughout the build run, however it progresses to the next step each time disregarding the errors. However, when it gets to the artifacts step it can't find the artifacts path. I've tried many iterations of the artifacts: files: statements with no luck. I'm not sure if the cd errors and the artifact issue are related.

Here is the Buildspec file currently. I've also attempted several different versions of the "files:" statement including - '**/*'

buildspec.yml

version: 0.2

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - echo Nothing to do in the install phase...
  pre_build:
    commands:
      - echo Nothing to do in the pre_build phase...
  build:
    commands:
      - echo Build started on `date`
      - echo $CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR
      - uServices/hello-world-java/gradlew build
  post_build:
    commands:
      - echo Build completed on `date`
artifacts:
  files:
    - uServices/hello-world-java/build/distributions/*

output from the codebuild

Summary

In my development area I can run Gradle and see the .zip artifact sitting in the following directory as below. I would expect codebuild to find it and load it to S3. [clipford@NVA-1a-TSS-DEV01

distributions]$ pwd

/home/clipford/work/tss-modern/uServices/hello-world-java/build/distributions

[clipford@NVA-1a-TSS-DEV01 distributions]$ ls

I ended up attempting to build this from an amazon S3 container the build worked completely. Then I went back to the GitHub version and the issue associated with not being able to cd to the codebuild directories magically went away. (I don't believe in magic either but assume that it was an amazon issue).

The Issue with the artifact not loading was related to the fact that the artifact in our project sits in a directory that is not part of the GitHub repo. It's actually ignored in .gitignore. The artifact directory is created at build time and it appears that since it's ignored in the .gitignore and not part of the repo codebuild doesn't find the artifact and can't load it to S3.
