Is there a way to change directory on AWS codebuild
Solution 1
If you change the buildspec.yml version to 0.2 then the shell keeps its settings. In version: 0.1 you get a clean shell for each command.
enjoy ;)
Solution 2
Each command in CodeBuild runs in a separate shell against the root of your source (access root of your source from CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR environment variable).
Your possible options are
- Short circuit the commands to run under the same shell: Works when you have relatively simple buildspec (like yours).
commands:
- cd MyDir && npm install && bower install
- cd MyDir && npm run ci
- Move your commands from buildspec to a script and have more control (useful for more complicated build logic).
commands:
- ./mybuildscipt.sh
Let me know if any of these work for you.
-- EDIT --
CodeBuild has since launched buildspec v0.2 where this work around is no longer required.

With Snap-CI going away I've been trying to get our builds working on AWS CodeBuild. I have my buildspec.yml built out, but changing directories doesn't seem to work.
version: 0.1 phases: install: commands: - apt-get update -y - apt-get install -y node - apt-get install -y npm build: commands: - cd MyDir //Expect to be in MyDir now - echo `pwd` //Shows /tmp/blablabla/ instead of /tmp/blablabla/MyDir - npm install //Fails because I'm not in the right directory - bower install - npm run ci post_build: commands: - echo Build completed on `date` artifacts: files: - MyDir/MyFile.war discard-paths: yes
It seems like this should be fairly simple, but so far I haven't had any luck getting this to work.
