New version available but no GitHub release exists

[JakeBrown]

There appears to be a v1.2.458.0 version available, even though there have been no code changes in this repo and the latest GitHub release is Release 1.2.398.0 - 2022-10-13.

AWS Copilot CLI

AWS Copilot CLI Looks like the Session Manager plugin is using version 1.2.398.0.
Would you like to update it to the latest version 1.2.458.0? 

Checking latest hosted version:

$ curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/session-manager-downloads/plugin/latest/VERSION
1.2.458.0

Version v1.2.458 seems to be buggy and is likely also the cause of this issue: aws/copilot-cli#4627.

this is a problem in our environment right now. we use the ansible connection and that has stopped working altogether after the update.

Our docker image downloads from the s3 path marked latest. this is a temporary fix for anyone using ubuntu

Hi,
That was an old version released and team reverted it after found some issue. Github side updated kind of late after it. We did not expected the impact, will keep it sync with github side update in future.
There is new version 1.2.463.0 available. If anyone still encounter issue, feel free to reopen it.

Thanks,
Yangtao

This seems to be happening again. There is a release 1.2.497.0 available and the latest Github release is still 1.2.463.0. This broke my CD which runs a copilot svc exec command. I tried upgrading SM locally (M1), and it failed.

First ran:

Would you like to update it to the latest version 1.2.497.0? Yes

Then tried running copilot svc exec:

✘ Failed to validate the Session Manager plugin. Please install or make sure your SSM plugin is up-to-date:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-install-plugin.html
validate ssm plugin: get local ssm plugin version: signal: killed

I uninstalled and reinstalled SM with the signed installer and it worked.

Upgraded Copilot to the latest in my CD and it is still failing.
