Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' : Failed to register task definition in ECS

I am using Github Actions to automate deploy the task to ECS. Passed S3 ARN as environmentFiles in ECS console, and it seems to work fine. But the same task-definition JSON doesn't work when using aws-actions/amazon-ecs-deploy-task-definition@v1

environmentFiles reference pull requests on aws/amazon-ecs-agent repo: #2420, #2421

I have added environmentFiles in my containerDefinitions of task-definition.json as:

"environmentFiles": [{
    "type": "s3",
    "value": "arn:aws:s3:::ltl-environments/.stg.env"
}],

Getting the following error:

##[error]Failed to register task definition in ECS: There were 5 validation errors:
* UnexpectedParameter: Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' found in params.containerDefinitions[0]
* UnexpectedParameter: Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' found in params.containerDefinitions[2]
* UnexpectedParameter: Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' found in params.containerDefinitions[3]
* UnexpectedParameter: Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' found in params.containerDefinitions[4]
* UnexpectedParameter: Unexpected key 'environmentFiles' found in params.containerDefinitions[5]```

Hey @gaurav-agarwal27 thank-you for reaching out, how are you consuming the JS-SDK in this?
Should be an issue for https://github.com/aws/amazon-ecs-agent

[gaurav-agarwal27]

Hi @ajredniwja, like I mentioned I am using Github Action aws-actions/amazon-ecs-deploy-task-definition@v1 for automated deployment to ECS. This action is using aws-sdk-js to determine which keys are valid in task-definition.js.

I checked in aws-sdk-js but couldn't find anything related to environmentFiles either.

Hi @gaurav-agarwal27, that feature is not fully released yet, which is why it isn't yet in the SDK. Please watch this roadmap issue for updates on when it is released:
