Amazon Codebuild error while building : YAML_FILE_ERROR

Question

Any help with this error: While running Amazons Codebuild using the meanjs.org stack from the GitHub repo, I am getting an error message in the 'Download Source' phase: Message: YAML file does not exist

It seems that amazon is requesting a build spec.yml file to complete the build

Any help with finding/creating this file for this repo?

I am using the meanjs.org docker image for the build environ And the source code is he GitHub repo

CodeBuild has documentation about creating your buildspec.yaml here.

What the buildspec does is executes the commands that you would like to run. For example if I wanted to create a buildspec that installed ruby gems, and then ran a jekyll build my buildspec would look like.

version: 0.2
env:
  variables:
    key: "value"

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - bundle install
  build:
    commands:
      - echo "******** Building Jekyll site ********"
      - jekyll build

Let me know if you have any questions.
