CUSTOM_AMI_NAME_PREFIX feature does not work with "pcluster createami"

[rmarable]

Environment:

• AWS ParallelCluster / CfnCluster version [e.g. aws-parallelcluster-2.4.1] 2.5.0
• OS: [e.g. alinux] OSX-10.14.6 (Mojave) with pyenv (Python-3.7.4)
• Scheduler: [e.g. SGE] SGE
• Master instance type: [e.g. m5.xlarge] r5.large
• Compute instance type: [e.g. c5.8xlarge] r5.large

Bug description and how to reproduce:

The ParallelCluster createami" feature does not seem to support CUSTOM_AMI_NAME_PREFIX:

$ pcluster createami --ami-id [**************] --os centos7 -ap "ParallelClusterAmi-" -c pcluster-ami.config
Building AWS ParallelCluster AMI. This could take a while...

More robust error handling to troubleshoot would also be appreciated: https://github.com/aws/aws-parallelcluster/issues/1549

If you can post your config file we could see what's wrong in there and unblock you from running the command.

Thanks

Hi Luca,

The config file I tried to use is attached. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Try to remove the -c parameter and use the --vpc-id and --subnet-id instead.
