Elastic Beanstalk Deployments Failing - Amazon Linux 2/3.1.5

Question

Hi all,  
  
We have been experiencing constant failing deployments on Elastic Beanstalk using CodePipeline.  
Elastic Beanstalk Environment:  
  
- Platform PHP 7.4  
- Amazon Linux 2/3.1.5  
  
We having a Symfony application running with a few cron jobs, during every deploy with CodePipeline the deployment fails with the following error message:  
  
2021/02/12 19:16:54.089661 Executing instruction: stop php-fpm  
2021/02/12 19:16:54.089672 Running command /bin/sh -c systemctl show -p PartOf php-fpm.service  
2021/02/12 19:16:54.094043 Running command /bin/sh -c systemctl stop php-fpm.service  
2021/02/12 19:16:54.204134 Executing instruction: FlipApplication  
2021/02/12 19:16:55.339260 An error occurred during execution of command \[app-deploy] - \[FlipApplication]. Stop running the command. Error: remove current dir failed: unlinkat /var/app/current: directory not empty   
  
2021/02/12 19:16:55.339271 Executing cleanup logic  
2021/02/12 19:16:55.339344 CommandService Response: {"status":"FAILURE","api_version":"1.0","results":\[{"status":"FAILURE","msg":"Engine execution has encountered an error.","returncode":1,"events":\[{"msg":"Instance deployment failed. For details, see 'eb-engine.log'.","timestamp":1613157415,"severity":"ERROR"}]}]}

After the fail, retrying the deploy through CodePipeline works as expected.  
We have tried killing all cron jobs prior to deploying, different folder permission, etc but the issue still persists.  
  
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,  
  
Any movement on this? I am experiencing the same issue, we are using: PHP 7.4 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.1.6  
We are using the GitHub source integration in a CodePipeline so no manual commands being used to trigger the deploy, all whatever AWS does under the hood.  
  
Cheers

Same issue..

Answer

Bump, anyone else?

Answer

This issue for me was because I was mounting EFS to a directory in /var/app/current/.  Heres a related answer on stack overflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/67494984/15900388, might be helpful to some.

Answer

It happens to us each deploy, did it only affect you once?

Answer

It's happening to our application as well and as far as we can tell it happens every time we deploy using `aws elasticbeanstalk` instead of the `eb deploy` command.  
  
The way we have it set up is;  
- commit code to Gitlab  
- Gitlab runner starts up with aws-cli installed  
- `aws s3` uploads the build to S3  
- `aws elasticbeanstalk create-application-version` creates a new application to deploy  
- `aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment` will deploy the application, which will fail with the error;   
\[ERROR] An error occurred during execution of command \[app-deploy] - \[FlipApplication]. Stop running the command. Error: remove current dir failed: unlinkat /var/app/current: directory not empty  
  
This error does not occur when you use `eb deploy \[application]`.  
  
Interested to know what's going on here.

Answer

I ran the command eb deploy 1st time with the same error as you.  
However, I tried running eb deploy again for the second time and it didn't appear.  
If you know why, please share it with me.

Answer

Same issue here. It has been happening for months but is becoming more frequent. Seems totally random, we can have multiple successes in a row with no problem and also have single/multiple failures despite no changes other than re-attempting the deployment.
