Hi,

Could you please help me to solve this issue when I try to start the rails layer instance? Thanks in advance.

Error executing action create on resource 'template[/srv/www/espn_testing/shared/config/application.yml]'

The issue was related with Figaro's setup. It is fixed. Thanks

I'm seeing the same issue. Could you elaborate on how you fixed the issue? Thx!

I also had this issue. The resolution for me was to edit the Custom JSON in the OpsWorks Stack to reflect the short name of the OpsWorks App. The env variable was nil because when it did a look up in the Custom JSON, it couldn't find key that matched the short name.

A little tricky because when creating an App via the AWS console the short name is generated automatically. Via the SDK, you can set the short name when creating an app manually.

Make sure these match the short_name of the OpsWorks app:
