According to the CodeBuild API reference, location is required for source code in a CodeCommit repository and it should be the HTTPS clone URL of the repository. Even in the UI, you would select the CodeCommit repo, which likely just gets resolved to the HTTPS clone URL under the cover.

Is there a reason why you believe the source location is not required?

@acwwat, thank you for helping me identify this. I had gotten confused at the part that said “Required: No” When I reread it now, I saw that it was specified that “For all of the other types, you must specify Location.”
