Validate your AppSpec File and file location
File syntax
You can use the AWS-provided AppSpec Assistant script to validate the contents of an
AppSpec file. You can find the script along with AppSpec file templates on GitHub
You can also use a browser-based tool such as YAML
lint
File location
To verify that you have placed your AppSpec file in the root directory of the application's source content's directory structure, run one of the following commands:
On local Linux, macOS, or Unix instances:
ls
path/to/root/directory/
appspec.yml
If the AppSpec file is not located there, a "No such file or directory" error is displayed.
On local Windows instances:
dir
path\to\root\directory\
appspec.yml
If the AppSpec file is not located there, a "File Not Found" error is displayed.
