AWS CodeBuild failed CLIENT_ERROR: authorization failed for primary source and source version

Question

I have already authenticated the GitHub account.

My AWS CodePipeline is failing with this error:

CLIENT_ERROR: authorization failed for primary source and source version

Solution 1

CodeBuild role needs permission to access and use CodePipeline connection:

Solution 2

Disconnecting and re-authenticating to GutHub in CodeBuild of the job fixed this error for me.

Make sure that you still have access to the access token used to connect to GitHub before disconnecting from it!

Access tokens can be set up/found here on your GitHub profile.

1. Select Source

   

2. Edit Source (disconnect and reconnect)

   

3.Enter access token and Save.

There seem to something wrong with the setup of your source action. But there are no details how it was setup, so its difficult to speculate.

Please mention if you're Github connector or webhook integration ?
