So i have the above circle config file but the linter wont let me save it.
I want to send slack messages on failure and success.
There’s no official support to it so i want if there’s any workaround.

Here is the error that pops up:

Moves these jobs to the workflows: section:

workflows:
  ecr-ecs-ci-cd:
    jobs:
      - aws-ecr/build-and-push-image:
           repo: "${AWS_RESOURCE_NAME_PREFIX}"
           tag: "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
      - aws-ecs/deploy-service-update:
           requires:
             - aws-ecr/build-and-push-image # only run this job once aws-ecr/build-and-push-image has completed
           family: "test-cluster-td"
           cluster-name: "test-cluster"
           container-image-name-updates: "container=test-container,image-and-tag=${AWS_ECR_ACCOUNT_URL}/${AWS_RESOURCE_NAME_PREFIX}:$(echo $CIRCLE_SHA1 | cut -c -7)"
           force-new-deployment: true
           verify-revision-is-deployed: true
           max-poll-attempts: 6

The issue is that the - aws-ecr/build-and-push-image: and - aws-ecs/deploy-service-update: are Jobs within the orbs so they’re already defined and you just call them from workflows. Your config is failing because you’re essentially nesting those jobs within the build_push_deploy_notify: job which is not allowed and is why the linter is balking at this config. See the orb usage examples for those jobs here.

Also there is a slack orb that you can also leverage instead of the curl commands. Check out the slack orb here. The slack orb should help execute the notification processes much easier

Hi @punkdata , Thanks for the response but i cannot seem to add slack orb and use it when i do so i don’t know how to fix it in? like the slack/notify method how to use that in my above case where to put that ? can you update your answer with slack orb in it with on_success and on_fail events? So i can send notifications?
Thanks

Can you share your config file here? It’s easier to debug if I can see what your working with. thanks
