awsmobile InternalFailureException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64String([B)Ljava/lang/String;

[takumiecofit]

Describe the bug We are using awsmobile to deploy our app. It deployed without errors as it should yesterday and today it is failing to deploy. It has been deploying fine for the last 2-3 years.

We understand that awsmobile will be deprecated in Oct 2021 and will promptly migrate when the time is right for us.

If the developers of aws-amplify recommend to migrate sooner rather than later to avoid situations like this, we will strongly take it into consideration.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. awsmobile init 6077-*--*-***
2. awsmobile publish

Expected behavior Deploys to the Mobilehub properly and able to access the deployed app.

Thanks for your feedback, I will transfer this to @amplify/cli repo. They will give you more information about this.

@elorzafe I faced the same problem. Please let me know if there are some workaround solutions.

[shtsht]

@elorzafe I've found zipped file is correctly uploaded at S3 thes-deployments-mobilehub-xxxxxxx/uploads/. So, I've updated lambda manually by using "Upload a file from Amazon S3" in lambda console "Function code".

Uploaded code works fine so far. Is this cloud be a workaround? I would like to know if "awsmobile publish" command does anything other than uploading zip file.

Has there been any update on this? I am getting the same error, it started a couple of days ago and I get it on awsmobile publish but it is also occurring when I execute: awsmobile run, so I can't start my server locally. Is there any work around for this?

[takumiecofit]

UPDATE: I moved everything to AWS Amplify.

So the solution is to move to AWS Amplify. Alot of things are specific to us so I can't go into details but I pretty much followed this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/getting-started.html.

I would have liked for any AWS Amplify devs to chime in on this as there are people that still rely on awsmobile for deploying business critical applications.
