Cloud formation package exit with error 255

[PavanDevops]

I have cloudformation package command runs with build option from codepipeline. But I get error 255; which was not happened before.

Error while executing command: aws cloudformation package --template samTemplate-dev.yml --s3-bucket $S3_BUCKET --output-template-file template-export-dev.yml. Reason: exit status 255

Please some one address.

Are you getting any other output? If not try adding --debug and see if there is an error or a traceback being printed and include that logging here.

Pavan, is there any chance you are trying to package a node.js application? If so look further up in the logs to see if you are seeing an error about timestaps. It might be related to this: npm/npm#19968. I stumbled upon this issue as it just happened to me in a previously working Serverless project. This other post: aws/aws-sdk-js#1977 (comment) helped me solve this (for now).

@teknogeek0 Yes, this is nodejs application, we use this as lambda function. I have tried the option that you mentioned, but still the same issue. I get this error while packaging.

Spec file below:

version: 0.2

phases:
  build:
    commands:
      - echo Installing source NPM dependencies...
      - npm install
      #- ls $CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR
      # - find $CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR/node_modules -mtime +10950 -exec touch {} ;
      - ls -ltr node_modules
      - pip install --upgrade awscli
      - aws s3 cp --recursive server/ s3://$WEBSITE_S3_BUCKET/server/ --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers
      - aws s3 cp --recursive config/ s3://$WEBSITE_S3_BUCKET/config/ --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers
      - aws s3 cp --recursive node_modules/ s3://$WEBSITE_S3_BUCKET/node_modules/ --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers
      - aws s3 cp package.json s3://$WEBSITE_S3_BUCKET/package.json --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers
      - echo Packaging source ...    
      - aws cloudformation package --template samTemplate-dev.yml --s3-bucket $S3_BUCKET --output-template-file template-export-dev.yml

artifacts:
  type: zip
  files:
    #- ./**/*
    - template-export-dev.yml

We would still need the debug output to be able to provide any help.

Hi, I also see the same error. Any update on this? I am just trying to create an S3 bucket and API gateway via my CF template.

You probably have typo in your template.yml. I had the same issue and the error has been fixed after I corrected the typo.
