check_cli_version intermittently fails

[dlydiard]

i intermittently get the following error with codedeploy which is under an ASG/ELB
More often than not it fails. I made the script skip the checks for now, but would like it to work, so i'm aware of cli requirements.

[stderr]Checking minimum required CLI version (1.3.25) against installed version (1.2.9)
[stderr][FATAL] CLI must be at least version .. to work with AutoScaling Standby

actual verison is 1.7.43:
aws --version
aws-cli/1.7.43 Python/2.7.6 Linux/3.13.0-61-generic

Hi,

Sorry about the delay on responding - Are you using one of the publicly available AMIs? If so, can you provide the id?

Did you manually install the aws CLI in addition to the one pre-installed on the AMI? If so, I'm wondering if the scripts are picking up the older pre-installed version while you're local shell is using the newer one. Which installation path were you using when you received the 1.7.43 version response above?

Failing for me with the exact same error using the Ubuntu AMI

ubuntu@ip-10-0-2-203:~$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.10.1 Python/2.7.6 Linux/3.13.0-76-generic botocore/1.3.23

It's possible to have two versions of awscli installed in Ubuntu:

• 1.2.9 in /usr/bin/aws via apt: apt-get install awscli;
• 1.10.28 in /usr/local/bin/aws via pip: apt-get install python-pip && pip install awscli).

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y awscli
[...]
$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.2.9 Python/3.4.3 Linux/3.13.0-74-generic
$ sudo apt-get install -y python-pip && sudo pip install awscli
[...]
$ /usr/bin/aws --version
aws-cli/1.2.9 Python/3.4.3 Linux/3.13.0-74-generic
$ /usr/local/bin/aws --version
aws-cli/1.10.28 Python/2.7.6 Linux/3.13.0-74-generic botocore/1.4.19

Depending on the value and order of entries in your PATH variable, either version may be executed by aws:

$ PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH aws --version
aws-cli/1.2.9 Python/3.4.3 Linux/3.13.0-74-generic
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH aws --version
aws-cli/1.10.28 Python/2.7.6 Linux/3.13.0-74-generic botocore/1.4.19

So the fix is to either uninstall the old apt version of aws-cli (apt-get remove awscli), or make sure your PATH ordering is correct in your deploy script (export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH).

I had the same issue on Ubuntu. This did it for me:

apt-get remove awscli -y
apt-get install python-pip -y
pip install awscli
