Description
I'm trying to deploy an agent to AgentCore Runtime but I'm getting the following error when I execute the agentcore launch command:
⠼ Launching Bedrock AgentCore...:x: Build failed during COMPLETED phase
:x: CodeBuild failed with status: FAILED
I checked CodeBuild and this is the error that is causing the failed state:
[Container] 2025/10/10 15:56:38.264664 Phase context status code: YAML_FILE_ERROR Message: could not find expected ':' at line 28
I checked the buildspec file and looks like that when the name of the file for the agent is too long (attached image), codebuild cuts it and it produces this error, I fixed it by leaving it in one line and the build succeeded, but when I tried to invoke agentcore with agentcore invoke command , it threw an error saying "Agent not deployed - run 'agentcore launch' to deploy" , maybe because the process of agentcore launch didn't actually finish from the agentcore launch command.. so it's kinda like a loop.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with `agentcore launch` using an agent filename long enough to trigger the reported CodeBuild YAML_FILE_ERROR, then inspect the generated buildspec file. Verify that the buildspec remains valid, launch completes successfully, and `agentcore invoke` no longer reports that the agent is undeployed.
