I'm still a bit hampered by the trailing export thing. Is there a way to manually interact with cdk to remove an export that was created by SST? I can't delete it over the AWS GUI and from googling a bit, it seems to only be possible to remove it in the cdk templates, of which I know next to nothing, unfortunately
it's not a stopper for me, because I can simply deploy to another stage, but it's a bit annoying if I or a coworker forgets it
t
What I do is do
sst deploy --stack=stack_that_stopped_referencing
to deploy them out of order
That way the stack that stopped referencing it is deployed first. And then I normal deploy should work
a
hmmm, and the stack you deploy is the stack that references the trailing export?
t
yeah
a
ah, i think you already suggested this last time, and I tried it, but now I get an error, that AWSMock is missing
Could not resolve "mock-aws-s3"
t
The scenario I'm familiar with is 1. In a deployed app, B references A 2. You rewrite your stack code so B no longer references A 3. CDK realizes A no longer needs to export anything 4. During deploy, it tries to update A to remove the export, but it can't because old B is still referencing it So the solution of deploying only B first and then doing a normal deploy fixes the ordering
a
that sounds like what's happening here
but it seems I can't deploy single stacks, because of that error above
hmmm, it also happens when I try to deploy the whole app

npm install didn't help...i thought maybe I'm missing some deps
t
ah ok so that issue is coming from something in your code referencing mapbox
do you know what function is doing that?
a
hmmm, it's not from my code, but I was messing around with amplify earlier and used the cli, maybe it added a dep to it
anyway, if it's not something obvious, I'm gonna dig a bit deeper
seems to be a dep from the bcrypt module
t
can you show me more of the log?
I can maybe help you find which construct it's coming form
a
I just had to npm i those packages...bcrypt is building something with node-gyp, and maybe it requires those modules when it detects aws config, but they are not listed as regular requirements or something...
it's weird
it only needs them on deploy, not on start
anyway, i still got problems with the export
here it is in the gui:
I changed the name of the users table in the Storage stack, then deployed, which worked
but when I change it back and deploy again, it says the export already exists
Copy code
Error: Export with name dev-convento-storage:ExportsOutputRefUsersTable6D91A5EE2FC965A7 is already exported by stack dev-convento-storage. Rollback requested by user.
i'll probably have to live with another stage name
I just hope it doesn't happen again
