Overview
Currently, we get the following error when we attempt to deploy to AWS EB with certain commit messages:
This is not because our access key is wrong, but because there are certain characters in our commit message which are not dealt with properly by the beanstalk-deploy package. We know that the following characters have produced problems for us:
These are due to encoding issues on the original beanstalk-deploy library.
Rather than wait for a fix from the package author, we can first truncate the message, since the title is in the first few words, to lower the chance of a special character, and then we can replace these characters ourselves in the deploy step when setting the version description.
