'InstanceIds' is a required property

[VihangaHeshan]

I faced this below error, even though I properly included the AWS access Key.

I managed to get all available ec2 instances. But when I issue the command stop or start the EC2 instance, it gives me this error.
Please help me to resolve this issue ASAP.

@VihangaHeshan can you share your command you are running, removing any actual instance Ids or other sensitive info?

Hi @punkrokk ,
Thank you for your reply.
This my action yaml file.

This is the alias file to start EC2 instance.

This is the command that I execute in the Slack with my Bot.

@VihangaHeshan A quick peek makes me wonder two things:

1. Can you run this at the CLI? st2 run aws.ec2_start_instances InstanceID=i-13221321312...
2. Is your Jinja command format backwards? In your command you do state - id.
3. Is the dash being read in from the instance?

I am not a chatops expert but may be able to help more after you answer these questions.

Hi @punkrokk,

1. Still the same issue when I run the command at the CLI
   
2. State - id, that is when showing the result back to screen.
3. I tried without the dash even. Still the same issue.
   
   **I directly taken this code from Github stackstorm/ AWS page.
   As far as I know it says the error is in
   "Back
   {
   "stdout": "",
   "stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/opt/stackstorm/st2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/python_runner/python_action_wrapper.py", line 333, in \n obj.run()\n File "/opt/stackstorm/st2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/python_runner/python_action_wrapper.py", line 192, in run\n output = action.run(**self._parameters)\n File "/opt/stackstorm/packs/aws/actions/run.py", line 36, in run\n return self.do_method(module_path, cls, aws_action, **kwargs)\n File "/opt/stackstorm/packs/aws/actions/lib/action.py", line 158, in do_method\n for k, v in kwargs.copy(): #I removed items() and added copy()\nValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)\n",
   "exit_code": 1,
   "result": "None"
   }"

I am not sure whether this error occurred due to Python version mismatch.

By the way this is nothing to do with chatops, seems simple coding error or syntax error.
Please help me!

Your cli shows the wrong argument spelling. So - try with ‘InstanceIds=i-1737482872...’ Try adding quotes around it also.
