Error parsing parameter '--change-batch': Invalid JSON: Expecting ',' delimiter

[andrejmaya]

When I execute for example this (like in the README):

./certbot-route53.sh \
  --agree-tos \
  --manual-public-ip-logging-ok \
  --domains example.de,www.example.de \
  --email info@example.com

I get this error:

++ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id /hostedzone/XYZ --query ChangeInfo.Id --output text --change-batch '{
      "Changes": [
        "ResourceRecordSet": {
          "Name": "_acme-challenge.www.example.de.",
          "ResourceRecords": ["Value": "\"qnWBjfJe5sR0LmBzy0dAku0IVljLCTGp_jYMmBVzAy0\""}]
      ]
    }'

Error parsing parameter '--change-batch': Invalid JSON: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 3 column 28 (char 48)
JSON received: {
      "Changes": [
        "ResourceRecordSet": {
          "Name": "_acme-challenge.www.example.de.",
          "ResourceRecords": ["Value": "\"qnWBjfJe5sR0LmBzy0dAku0IVljLCTGp_jYMmBVzAy0\""}]
      ]
    }

Any ideas?

provisioned an ubuntu ec2 and did it there with a route53 admin role attached. worked out well

To get this working on Mac, I changed the script to:

  TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/temporary-file.XXXXXXXX)
    cat > ${TMPFILE} << EOF
    {
      "Changes":[
        {
          "Action":"${ACTION}",
          "ResourceRecordSet":{
            "ResourceRecords":[
              {
                "Value": "\"$CERTBOT_VALIDATION\""
              }
            ],
            "Name":"_acme-challenge.${CERTBOT_DOMAIN}.",
            "Type":"TXT",
            "TTL":30
          }
        }
      ]
    }
EOF

  aws route53 wait resource-record-sets-changed --id "$(
    aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
    --hosted-zone-id "${HOSTED_ZONE_ID}" \
    --query ChangeInfo.Id --output text \
    --change-batch file://"${TMPFILE}"
  )"

  # Clean up
  rm $TMPFILE
