Converting CloudFormation parameter files to CodePipeline Template Configuration files

gistfile1.txt

Using jq, we can convert between CloudFormation parameter files and CodePipeline template configuration files:

$ jq '{ Parameters: [ .[] |  { (.ParameterKey): .ParameterValue }  ] | add } ' < cloudformation_parameter_file.json

This is useful in the case of receiving 'Template configuration is not valid' when running a CloudFormation action.

A CloudFormation parameter file has format:

[
  { 
     "ParameterKey": "key1",
     "ParameterValue": "value1"
  },
  { 
     "ParameterKey": "key2",
     "ParameterValue": "value2"
  }
]

Whereas a CodePipeline Template Configuration file has format:

{ 
  "Parameters": {
     "key1": "value1",
     "key2": "value2"
  }
}

Excellent! Thanks

This is great. I'd like to contribute back with the reverse conversion, in case anyone needs.
cat codepipeline_params.json | jq -r '.Parameters | to_entries | map({ParameterKey: .key, ParameterValue: .value})'
