Invalid YAML ebextensions

I'm trying to deploy an app version to elastic beanstalk but my config file formatting is incorrect.

There's a lot of escaped quotes so I don't think this is correct but I'm not sure how to resolve it.

This is the line that's causing issues;

    command: "sudo bash -c 'echo \"<img src=\'http://www.foo.com/img/custom_500.png\' alt=\'500\' style=\'left:50%;top:50%;position:fixed;margin-top:-235px;margin-left:-200px\'/>\"' > custom_50x.html"
Solution

  • Try without the opening and closing Quotes, like this:

    command: sudo bash -c 'echo \"<img src=\'http://www.foo.com/img/custom_500.png\' alt=\'500\' style=\'left:50%;top:50%;position:fixed;margin-top:-235px;margin-left:-200px\'/>\"' > custom_50x.html

    A useful tool for determining quickly if something is wrong is to use this online YAML Parser.
