I am unable to package CloudFormation template, it constantly throws an error

Question

I tried the following two commands to upload artifacts and package CFN template, but doesn't seem to work -

1. "aws cloudformation package --s3-bucket s3-swapnadeep-code-sam --template-file template.yaml --output-template-file gen/template-generated.yaml" 
 2. "sam package --s3-bucket s3-swapnadeep-code-sam --output-template-file packaged.yaml"

It constantly throws an error like this -

"Unable to upload artifact src/ referenced by CodeUri parameter of helloworldpython3 resource. Parameter CodeUri of resource helloworldpython3 refers to a file or folder that does not exist"

Hi,

the error message indicates that there is an issue with the parameter `CodeUri`of the resource you have named `helloworldpython3`. More specifically, the path `src/` references not a *relative* path but and absolute one. You likely need to change it to something like `./src`. Basically referencing the folder where you code resides relative to the path your template is located.
