Error: PythonPipBuilder:None - Binary validation failed! Error on MacOS

**Build Fails when you try to build serverless application **

When I try to build my serverless application, it fails with the error:

Error: PythonPipBuilder:None - Binary validation failed!

This happens with both my conda environment and my virtualenv environment.

When I try to use sam build in commandline, it fails with the same error when I am not in my designated conda environment but it works perfectly fine when I am in the designated conda env. For virtual env it works perfectly when I am in commandline.

To reproduce

1. Create a new project with Hello World Sam template
2. Right click on the template file and select "Deploy Serverless Application.
3. Select relevant bucket and add the name and click “deploy”.

Expected behavior I expect this to deploy the application.

Using option -u, --use-container can resolve the runtime inconsistent issue.

I had this same problem yesterday. In my case, I had Python 3.7 installed as my main Python (also on macOS). I was able to reproduce the problem outside of PyCharm, just by doing sam build at a command line. That led me to learning there is a --debug command line option which eventually led me to discover that I had to install Python 3.6, because SAM doesn’t support 3.7.

I tell you my story in hopes maybe it will help you get to the root of your problem, even though you said you’re using 3.6. In other words, try it from a command line and see if you can take aws-toolkit-jetbrains out of the equation.
