Failed to parse the task definition file: invalid JSON provided. Fix?

[Andrew Duncan]

I can't seem to make the ECS deploy image run properly. Even when using you example code.

Here's the last few lines of the pipeline output. I had DEBUG turned on:

How are you running envsubst? I was noticed that when I tried to use the docker command for it (which I might have been using incorrectly), it would spit out an empty JSON file. So now I'm using this.

- apk add gettext
- export IMAGE_NAME="asdf"
- envsubst < task-definition-template.json > task-definition.json

The first line of my bitbucket-pipelines.yml file is:

image: python:3.7.4-alpine3.10
