Can't set AWS Elastic Beanstalk static path with config file

I have a config file in my projects's .ebextensions directory containing

option_settings:
  "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles":
    "/static/": "sitetest/static/"

but my EB environment does not change the setting for /static/ in response to this being pushed to AWS.

I can verify that other config settings in the same directory — e.g. for environment variables using

option_settings:
  "aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
    SOME_VAR: "foo"

or for container commands using

container_commands:
  00_syncdb:
    command: "python manage.py db upgrade"
    leader_only: true

behave as expected.

Why isn't AWS Elastic Beanstalk's static path changing when to correspond to the setting in my config file?

The ebextensions are a lower precedence setting. What this means is that if you ever set anything in your ebextensions using the cli/console/api, the ebextension will no longer take effect.

You can remove the setting using the cli/api in order to get the ebextension to work again.

Using the EB CLI you can use eb config then remove the related line from the file.

Using the AWS CLI you can use: 

aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --environment-name MyEnvName --region us-west-2 --options-to-remove Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles,OptionName=/static/
