Deployment fails when test section included in amplify.yml

[wyatt-troia]

Region: us-east-1
App ID: diz6udlgf5b4p

The below build config results in a build that fails during the "deploy" stage with the following logs:

2021-06-04T04:19:06 [INFO]: Starting Deployment
2021-06-04T04:19:06 [ERROR]: Failed to deploy

When I remove the testing section entirely, deployment succeeds. Deployment also fails when I include the test section but omit the "files" part.

Is there anything I can do? I'd like to be able to integrate testing into my deployment process. The repo is structured as a monorepo

amplify.yml:

version: 1
applications:
  - appRoot: packages/my-app
    frontend:
      phases:
        preBuild:
          commands:
            - echo "REACT_APP_API_GATEWAY_URL=$REACT_APP_API_GATEWAY_URL" > .env
            - yarn install --frozen-lockfile
        build:
          commands:
            - npm run build
      artifacts:
        files:
            - "**/*"
        baseDirectory: build
      cache:
        paths:
          - node_modules/**/*
    test:
      phases:
        test:
          commands:
            - cd ../.. # go up to monorepo root
            - npm run test:run-all
      **artifacts:
        baseDirectory: ./ # arbitrary existing path bc amplify test phase will fail without one
        files:
          - "**/*.mp4"**

Hi 👋, thanks for opening! While we look into this...

If this issue is related to custom domains, be sure to check the custom domains troubleshooting guide to see if that helps. Also, there is a more general troubleshooting FAQ that may be helpful for other questions.

Lastly, please make sure you've specified the App ID and Region in the issue!

@wyatt-troia can you confirm for me the branch and job number for the deploy failure? The only deploy for diz6udlgf5b4p that I see around that time doesn't show any error on our end.

@wyatt-troia can you also double check your yaml syntax (in particular **artifacts looks off) and see if this also helps: #1167 (comment)

I am having a similar issue with this. My Amplify.yml looks like following and my app id is dnpfuqj1l8nkg. I also tried to modify yml as per suggestions/examples I found on the internet but nothing works. It always stuck at the build phase or sometimes at the test phase but it never starts my tests.

amplify.yml:

version: 1
frontend:
  phases:
    preBuild:
      commands:
        - yarn install
    build:
      commands:
        - yarn run build
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: build
    files:
      - '**/*'
  cache:
    paths:
      - node_modules/**/*
test:
  phases:
    test:
      commands:
        - yarn test
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: ./
    files:
      - '**/*.mp4'    

EDIT: Here are couple of last lines from buid.log

2021-06-13T12:02:05.950Z [INFO]: # Completed phase: build
                                 ## Completed Frontend Build

Updates:

So I changed test script to this in package.json

CI=true react-scripts test

and modified my yml to this

version: 1
frontend:
  phases:
    preBuild:
      commands:
        - yarn install
    build:
      commands:
        - yarn run build
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: build
    files:
      - '**/*'
  cache:
    paths:
      - node_modules/**/*
test:
  phases:
    test:
      commands:
        - 'yarn test'
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: ./
    files:
      - '**/*'

Now all my tests passed and worked correctly but fails on deploy with the following logs

2021-06-14T06:43:35 [INFO]: Starting Deployment
2021-06-14T06:43:35 [ERROR]: Failed to deploy

It worked now. I tested with a fresh new app and all good, so I think CI=true in package.json and configFilePath: '/mochawesome.json'** did the trick. Not sure why configFilePath is required, but this helped me

package.json

...
"test": "CI=true react-scripts test",
...

amplify.yml

version: 1
frontend:
  phases:
    preBuild:
      commands:
        - yarn install
    build:
      commands:
        - yarn run build
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: build
    files:
      - '**/*'
  cache:
    paths:
      - node_modules/**/*
test:
  phases:
    test:
      commands:
        - 'yarn test'
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: ./
    **configFilePath: '**/mochawesome.json'**
    files:
      - '**/*.mp4'

[wyatt-troia]

@saachitech @kahdojay Thank you! I also just had to provide an arbitrary value for configFilePath. Definitely tough to figure this one out with the error message given

Here was my final test section of my config:

    test:
      phases:
        test:
          commands:
            - cd ../.. # go up to monorepo root
            - npm run test:run-all
      artifacts: # arbitrary values (other than baseDirectory) bc amplify test phase will fail without them
        baseDirectory: ./ 
        configFilePath: '**/mochawesome.json'
        files:
          - '**/*.png'
          - '**/*.mp4'
