Can't invalidate more than one path?

[Jono20201]

- name: invalidate
  uses: chetan/invalidate-cloudfront-action@master
  env:
    DISTRIBUTION: ${{ secrets.DISTRIBUTION_ID }}
    PATHS: "/index.html /service-worker.js /manifest.json"
    AWS_REGION: "us-east-1"
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}

Fails with:

An error occurred (InvalidArgument) when calling the CreateInvalidation operation: Your request contains one or more invalid invalidation paths.

Tried a few different permutations with no luck.

That's strange. A space-separated list of paths should definitely work, according to the awscli docs, though I've only used it with a single path myself.

I just pushed a small change to add a debug flag which will print the invalidation command that's executed. Give it a try and make sure the command is what's expected:

- name: invalidate
        uses: chetan/invalidate-cloudfront-action@master
        env:
          DEBUG: "1"
          DISTRIBUTION: ${{ secrets.DISTRIBUTION_ID }}
          PATHS: "/index.html /service-worker.js /manifest.json"
          AWS_REGION: "us-east-1"
          AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}

Thanks for taking a look, however, I have now found it easier to just use the AWS CLI myself, as this now appears to be provided within the GitHub actions image.

- name: Configure AWS Credentials
  uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1
  with:
    aws-access-key-id: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
    aws-secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
    aws-region: eu-west-1

- name: Upload S3
  run: aws s3 sync --delete ./build/ s3://${{ secrets.AWS_S3_BUCKET }}

- name: Invalidate Cloudfront
  run: aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id ${{ secrets.DISTRIBUTION_ID }} --paths /index.html /service-worker.js /manifest.json

Great! I'm glad you found a workaround.

From what you pasted there, it seems the aws cli expects the paths to be passed as individual args, not a single one, so I've updated my script accordingly.
