ImportError: cannot import name 'docevents' from 'botocore.docs.bcdoc'

[ahmei0]

botocore 1.18.0 removed AWS CLI specific doc files. Those were already migrated to the CLI in version 1.18.140.

This is failing codebuild stage.

Please add following awscli upgrade command install_stage_dependencies.sh

pip install --upgrade pip

I'm facing same error

Thanks !

Hello @SamiMamdouh @ahmei0
We are testing the fix and plan to publish a new version as soon as possible.

We're experiencing the same issue. Great to know a fix is in the works to solve this.

(I'm not with Amazon/AWS) As a workaround, until the install_stage_dependencies.sh script is fixed in the main repo, you can make a 1 line change to the buildspec to fix this. The fix is based on the PR that ahmei0 posted above, not my work. The PR is to fix the install_stage_dependencies.sh script that we can't easily modify in our environment though. This workaround changes the buildspec which we do have control over while we wait for the real fix.

• Go to the CodePipeline dashboard and select the "Custom-Control-Tower-CodeBuild" project
• Go to the Build Details tab and scroll down to the Buildspec, click Edit
• Find the "pre_build:" "commands:" section.
• Add the following line just before the "bash install_stage_dependencies.sh $STAGE_NAME" line:
  - pip install --upgrade awscli

I can't afford downtime for our CT customization pipeline, so I needed to find a workaround.

Adding

- pip install --upgrade --user awscli

just before each "pre_build" block in the buildspec should fix this:

e.g.

...
      - apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
      - apt-get install zip wget python-pip libyaml-dev -y
      - pip install --upgrade --user awscli
  pre_build:
...

(This is due to an update on botocore that was released on Sept 17th.
In order to be able to import the dependency, customers will need to upgrade the awscli or install the awscli manually until a fix is released)

I modified the CfCT template for the BuildSpecs:

StackSetCodeBuild
SCPCodeBuild
CustomControlTowerCodeBuild

Add "\n - pip install --upgrade awscli\n - aws --version" to lines 517, 641 and 811.

Do it right after "- apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y". Then Update the CfCT stack.
