how to solve “An error occurred (InvalidClientTokenId)” AWS Chalice deployment error

Question

I'm new to application development and decided to use AWS services for this project. however, I am having difficulty deploying chalice. every time I run "chalice deploy", I get an error.

here are the steps I followed along with commands for Windows:

1. upgraded my powershell
2. "virtualenv enve" : then ".\venv\Scripts\activate" # install and run virtual environment
3. "pip install aws cli ": # install aws command line interface
4. "aws configure" : # configure my AWS_KEY and AWS_SCERET
5. "pip install chalice" : # install chalice
6. "chalice new-project" : # created a new project
7. "chalice deploy" # deploy

I get

An error occurred (InvalidClientTokenId) when calling the GetRole operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.

I'm able to use localhost and run my application but not able to deploy to the server. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. someone, please help!

additional info: my operating system is windows 10. I upgraded my PowerShell to 7

Answer 1

I somehow figured it out.. The error occurred because the command "

chalice deploy

" was used in the wrong directory. Make sure you are in the directory where your chalice file is before initializing it to deploy.
