Copilot-cli: Can't run a task within my app

[nbarrera]

I 've created a copilot app importing it into my existing vpc.

App is running, and copilot svc status says it's all fine.

Now I want to run a new task to execute a db migration by executing a script.

% copilot task run 
In which application would you like to run this task? my-app-name
In which environment would you like to run this task? test
✘ provision resources for task my-app-name: read template for task stack: read template task/cf.yml: stat /Users/xxx/git/my-app-name/task/cf.yml: no such file or directory

It is true, that file does not exists (nor does the task directory) but I 'm not sure why it should exist and which content should it have.

I 've checked the docs and it seems that execution should work,
could it be that's not working becase the app was imported into an existing vpc?

Hello @nbarrera. Could you check what version of Copilot are you using and how did you install the Copilot?

[nbarrera]

Hi, thanks for your attention...
I 've installed Copilot 1.7.1 using brew, I 'm running a mbp m1

EDIT: upgraded to latest 1.8.0 using brew upgrade copilot, but still same problem

This might be related to the fact that you're on ARM architecture. See https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli/issues/1949. Did you do some kind of workaround to get as far as you did?

We think the missing CloudFormation template could be related to packr....

Hello @nbarrera. Do you remember which command you used to install Copilot by brew? Sorry for the confusion but, it won't work for brew install copilot, instead you'll need to use brew install aws/tap/copilot-cli.

Do you remember which command you used to install Copilot by brew?.

Sorry I just wrote that from the top of my head, but now you mention it... I 've followed these instructions

You are right, there it says: do brew install aws/tap/copilot-cli so that's for sure what I did.

And just to confirm: you created your environment named test with Copilot and imported your existing VPC in that step?

[iamhopaul123]

Gotcha. That sounds strange to me. Could you reinstall the Copilot binary and do which copilot to see which copilot by default you are using? because sometimes you might have copilot pointing to an outdated version

So far I 've just followed a couple of guidelines but nothing special.

The simplest copilot example was working for me, I just needed to tune the config to add a Redis addon and also import the app to my own vpc just because I needed a static IP so I could whitelist that on the Mongo Atlas configuration, so I had to create a nat gw and a couple of private subnets and then use those on the copilot app.

but no problems related with arm64/m1 until now I guess

And just to confirm: you created your environment named test with Copilot and imported your existing VPC in that step?

Yes, I think I did

 copilot env init -n test 

and selected in the interactive menu my default vpc and the private/public subnets that I created on my own for this matter

Yes,... that could be... but just for the record:

I 've been always using version 1.7.1 because that's the one I got when I met and installed copilot.
I encountered this error... and then I realized 1.8.0 was out..
so I 've upgraded to 1.8.0 today, and still the error remains.

Anyway.., this is what I got now:

% which copilot
/opt/homebrew/bin/copilot
% /opt/homebrew/bin/copilot --version
copilot version: v1.8.0

now I 'm uninstalling:

% brew uninstall copilot
Uninstalling /opt/homebrew/Cellar/copilot/1.8.0... (8 files, 53.2MB)

and reinstalling

% brew install aws/tap/copilot-cli
