(cloudfront): Migration from CloudFrontWebDistribution to WebDistribution

General Issue

General Issue

The Question

I had the following code for CloudFrontWebDistribution

const webDistribution = new cloudfront.CloudFrontWebDistribution(this, 'MyCfnDistribution', {
    // ...
});

Converted it to support the Distribution Class

const webDistribution =new cloudfront.Distribution(this, 'MyCfnDistribution', {
    // ...
});
const distributionCfn = webDistribution.node.defaultChild as cloudfront.CfnDistribution;
distributionCfn.overrideLogicalId('LogicalId')

When I deployed this new code I got the following error:

Invalid request provided: The parameter globPattern is too small or empty. (Service: CloudFront, Status 
Code: 400

How Do I Solve this? Are there Any Other ways to Migrate to Distribution Construct?

There doesn’t seem to be a direct way to not include the pathPattern, but you can override the CDK output for pathpattern on the additional behaviors with an escape hatch!

distributionCfn.addPropertyDeletionOverride('DistributionConfig.CacheBehaviors.0.PathPattern')

This will remove the PathPattern from your template for the first additional behavior you add. Simply change the number 0 to change which behavior you’re modifying in the template

Hey @DarshanAwachat, sorry I missed this

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here, but you shouldn’t run into any issues down the line just for overriding a logical ID. That should be stable 🙂
