I’m using a Custom::CDKBucketDeployment resource to deploy a static website to a S3 bucket:

// A CDK helper that takes the defined source directory, compresses it, and uploads it to the destination s3 bucket.
    new s3deploy.BucketDeployment(this, "DeployWebsite", {
      source: s3deploy.Source.asset(webAppRoot),
      destinationKeyPrefix: "web/",
      destinationBucket: bucket,
      retainOnDelete: false
    });

When running the cdk deploy command this fails with:

9/10 | 3:50:56 PM | CREATE_FAILED        | Custom::CDKBucketDeployment                     | DeployWebsite/CustomResource/Default (DeployWebsiteCustomResourceD116527B) Failed to create resource.

• What is the expected behavior (or behavior of feature suggested)? Expected behavior is that the static website content is deployed onto the S3 bucket.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior or adding this feature? N/A

• Please tell us about your environment:

  • CDK CLI Version: 1.4.0
  • Module Version: 1.4.0
  • OS: all
  • Language: TypeScript (but I expect all to be affected)

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. associated pull-request, stackoverflow, gitter, etc)

  • Downgrading the @aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment module to version 1.3.0 fixes the issue.
