Research direction

Begin with the downloaded repository's Elastic Beanstalk configuration and compare it with the linked AWS Node.js/DynamoDB tutorial, focusing on the reported staticfiles option. Confirm the configuration is accepted during deployment and that the sample deploys without the unknown-setting error.

Description

I am following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/nodejs-dynamodb-tutorial.html

and so I downloaded the zip of this repo and was trying to deploy it.

But I aam getting the following error all the time:


Invalid option specification (Namespace: 'aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs:staticfiles', OptionName: '/static'): Unknown configuration setting.

How can I solve it?
