I'm wondering about the right way to remove a customized debugApp stack while keeping the deployed App stack. For background this would be a scenario, where the test phase (started with

npm run start

has been completed and the stage was deployed with

npm run deploy

The doc mentions that stacks can be removed individually by providing the stack name as parameter. However, this seems to fail for me in case of my customized debugApp stack.

Not sure if it’s the correct way but you could use console or AWS CLI

running the same command without providing the stack name works, but removes everything (not just the debug-stack)

What happens if you use the AWS CLI delete-stack https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/cloudformation/delete-stack.html

This works, as long as the full stack name including project / stage is provided. What I'm trying to find out though, is if it's expected to also work via

sst remove

somehow.

Yeah, fair question, was just curious if they could be deleted separately using the basic tools

There isn’t a way to just remove the debug stack using SST cli. Just bumped up the priority for this https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/624

@Frank this was what failed (line 9 telling

Stack sa-4761-dev-ewings-debug-stack is not found in your app.

even though it's declared in index.ts as shown above)

@Klaus yeah the

debug-stack

is actually not part of the app. It’s actually a separate standalone CDK app with just the debug stack in it.
