Root Cause

CodeBuild project failed during one of the build phases due to command errors, permissions, or environment issues.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 88% success Check CloudWatch logs for the specific phase and command that failed 
    aws logs get-log-events --log-group-name /aws/codebuild/PROJECT_NAME --log-stream-name BUILD_ID

    Sources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/troubleshooting.html

  2. 78% success Verify CodeBuild service role has required permissions for all AWS services used 
    Check IAM role attached to the CodeBuild project has access to S3, ECR, Secrets Manager, etc.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Retry the build without checking logs 85% fail

    If the failure is deterministic (bad buildspec, missing deps), retries will fail identically

  2. Switch to a different compute type to fix build errors 75% fail

    Compute type changes only fix resource exhaustion, not command or permission errors
