What is the problem?
cdk generates input parameters in a stack when importing parameter store values.
Reproduction Steps
configSqs = (scope: cdk.Construct) =>
ssm.StringParameter.fromStringParameterAttributes(
scope,
'import-sqs-string-param',
{
simpleName: true,
parameterName: cdk.Fn.importValue('some-exported-value-holding-the-param-name'),
}
);
const sqsConfig = configSqs(this);
sqsConfig.grantRead(this.ingestLambda);This renders perfectly in terms of IAM:
{
"Action": [
"ssm:DescribeParameters",
"ssm:GetParameters",
"ssm:GetParameter",
"ssm:GetParameterHistory"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": {
"Fn::Join": [
"",
[
"arn:",
{
"Ref": "AWS::Partition"
},
":ssm:eu-west-1:123456789012:parameter/",
{
"Fn::ImportValue": "some-exported-value-holding-the-param-name"
}
]
]
}
}But i also generates a parameter construct in the stack (I have no idea why):
"Parameters": {
"importsqsstringparamParameter": {
"Type": "AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<String>",
"Default": {
"Fn::ImportValue": "some-exported-value-holding-the-param-name"
}
},What did you expect to happen?
CDK not to create input parameters on the CF-stack, Why does it create an input parameter to the cloudformation stack?
PS
I know you can explicity reference the parameter cross stack, but then you get into the automagically creation of exports problem
What actually happened?
CDK creates input parameters on the CF-stack which breaks when deploying with: "Template format error: Every Default member must be a string".
