bash script aws cloudfront create-invalidation path is incorrect

Question

I'm new to bash, trying to create invalidation in the bash script by simply calling

aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id XXX --profile XXX --path /planning/index.html

Works fine in cmd but not in git bash. Must be some escape characters problem but Im not quite getting how it shoud be.

Update: Error message Im getting in bash when calling the CreateInvalidation operation: Your request contains one or more invalid invalidation paths

Solved: Solved by providing cli-input-json

aws cloudfront create-invalidation --profile $PROFILE --cli-input-json "{\"DistributionId\":\"MY_DISTRIBUTION_ID\",\"InvalidationBatch\":{\"Paths\":{\"Quantity\":1,\"Items\":[\"/planning/index.html\"]},\"CallerReference\":\"$(date +%s)\"}}"```

Im trying to escape slash character by passing --paths "/\planning/\index.html" but it is getting parsed to "//planning/index.html" — Petr Savchenko

Slash is not a special character in the shell. Your code looks fine as far as Bash is concerned; probably an AWS problem. (You are backslash-escaping p and i though, not the slashes. If the code in the comment is the one you are actually having trouble with, why isn't it in the question?) — tripleee

What error message are you getting? It might help to add that to the question as well. — j4ckofalltrades

For me this worked in git bash:

aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id XXX --path //index.html

The slash must be a double slash. It may be related to this issue: Passing windows slash (/) based parameters to a program from bash script
