I can’t figure out how to setup elastic beanstalk on CirclCI.

I have two brunch, which is master and staging.  
As you can see, master means production environment and staging means development.

First I set up environment variable.

And next, made circleci.yml like this.

```auto
machine:
  python:
    version: 2.7.6

dependencies:
  pre:
    - pip install awsebcli
    - printenv

database:
  override:
    - exit 0

test:
  override:
    - exit 0

deployment:
  staging:
    branch: staging
    commands:
      - eb deploy vegewel-staging
  production:
    branch: master
    commands:
      - eb deploy vegewel

```

And also set up .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml like this.

```auto
branch-defaults:
  master:
    environment: vegewel
  staging:
    environment: vegewel-staging
global:
  application_name: vegewel
  default_ec2_keyname: vegewel
  default_platform: 64bit Amazon Linux 2016.03 v2.1.6 running Ruby 2.3 (Passenger
    Standalone)
  default_region: ap-northeast-1
  profile: eb-cli
  sc: git

```

But every time I check on circleci console, I’ve been facing this problem.

```auto
eb deploy vegewel-staging
ERROR: The config profile (eb-cli) could not be found

```

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

I noticed  
`profile: eb-cli`  
is cause of error. It attaches local environment.  
When I delete this, it works.

It seems that the missing /home/ubuntu/.aws/config file causes the error message "ERROR: The config profile (eb-cli) could not be found"  
I followed instructions in the following gist: [https://gist.github.com/RobertoSchneiders/9e0e73e836a80d53a21e](https://gist.github.com/RobertoSchneiders/9e0e73e836a80d53a21e), which resolved the issue by explicitly creating this file.  
I created ./scripts/deploy.sh file with the following content:

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -x
set -e

AWS_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.aws/config

mkdir $HOME/.aws
touch $AWS_CONFIG_FILE
chmod 600 $AWS_CONFIG_FILE

echo "[profile eb-cli]" > $AWS_CONFIG_FILE
echo "aws_access_key_id=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" >> $AWS_CONFIG_FILE
echo "aws_secret_access_key=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" >> $AWS_CONFIG_FILE

eb deploy my-environment-production 2>&1 | tee $CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS/eb_deploy_output.txt
# Temporary hack to overcome issue eith 'eb deploy' returning exit code 0 on error
# See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23771923/elasticbeanstalk-deployment-error-command-hooks-directoryhooksexecutor-py-p
grep -v -c -q -i error $CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS/eb_deploy_output.txt

```

and then in circle.yml I put:

```
deployment:
  production:
    branch: master
    commands:
      - ./scripts/deploy.sh

```

Another solution is simply:

```
AWS_EB_PROFILE=default eb deploy <environment>
```

I recently blogged about this: [https://blog.cmgresearch.com/2017/05/07/step-5-use-circleci-to-deploy-to-elastic-beanstalk.html](https://blog.cmgresearch.com/2017/05/07/step-5-use-circleci-to-deploy-to-elastic-beanstalk.html) - You can also just do:

```auto
eb deploy --profile default

```
