boto3 codecommit create_commit issues

Question

When trying to create a commit using boto3's codecommit client, somehow I got AttributeError on create_commit, but other commands works as expected.

Here is the code I'm using:

client = boto3.client(
            'codecommit',
            aws_access_key_id=access_key,
            aws_secret_access_key=secret_key,
        )

resp = client.create_commit(
            repositoryName='my_repo',
            branchName='master',
            authorName='My Name',
            email='my_email@gmail.com',
            putFiles=[
                {
                    'filePath': '1.json',
                    'fileMode': 'NORMAL',
                    'fileContent': '%s' % (content, ),
                }
            ]
        )

Repository is an empty so parentCommitId is not required.

And it says:

AttributeError: 'CodeCommit' object has no attribute 'create_commit'

Does anyone face this kind of issue?

I asked my same issue to AWS Support, and I got an answer.

This issues happens because current AWS Lambda runtime (Python 3.7) is using Boto3 library of v1.9.42. and this version of the library does not contains contains create_commit API.

Recommended Workaround is uploading a deployment package containing the latest Boto3 python package (v.1.9.202) and Lambda python code.

Check this out: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ko_kr/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-python-how-to-create-deployment-package.html

Check for boto3 version installed in your system using

pip show boto3

If the system version is 1.9 kindly upgrade it to v1.16 since v1.9 does not have the create_commit API.

If there are dependencies on v1.9 then create a virtual environment

In Mac / Ubuntu

python3 -m venv env

In Windows

py -m venv env
