InvalidInputException

Error message

source.type is required

What it means

Thrown by CodeBuildService.createProject when the source argument is null or its type field is null. CodeBuild requires every project to declare a source type (e.g. GITHUB, CODECOMMIT, S3, NO_SOURCE). Returned as InvalidInputException 400.

Solutions

1. Include a source object with a type, e.g. {"type": "NO_SOURCE"} when there is no repo
2. If using the AWS SDK v2, call request.source(Source.builder().type(SourceType.NO_SOURCE).build())
3. Validate the payload against the AWS CodeBuild CreateProject schema before sending

Example fix

# before
{ "name": "demo", "environment": {...}, "serviceRole": "...", "artifacts": {"type": "NO_ARTIFACTS"} }

# after
{ "name": "demo", "source": {"type": "NO_SOURCE"}, "environment": {...}, "serviceRole": "...", "artifacts": {"type": "NO_ARTIFACTS"} }

// Java - request is createable only when source type is set
static boolean isCreatable(CreateProjectRequest r) {
    return r.source() != null && r.source().type() != null;
}

catch (InvalidInputException e) {
    if ("source.type is required".equals(e.getMessage())) {
        request = request.toBuilder().source(Source.builder().type(SourceType.NO_SOURCE).build()).build();
        codebuild.createProject(request);
    } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: CreateProject JSON body omitting the source object entirely; source present but missing the type key; source.type serialized as null by a SDK model where the field was never set.

Common situations: Building the CreateProjectRequest programmatically and forgetting setSource(); minimal CLI payloads copied from partial examples; NO_SOURCE users wrongly assuming source can be omitted.
