Error message when trying to deploy without bootstrap stack is confusing #34
Description
The error message reads as follows:
⏳ Starting deployment of stack cdk-build-pipelines...
The template for stack cdk-build-pipelines is 170837 bytes long, a CDK Toolkit stack is required for deployment of templates larger than 51,200 bytes. A CDK Toolkit stack can be created using cdk bootstrap '993655754359/us-east-1'
❌ Deployment of stack cdk-build-pipelines failed: Error: The template for stack cdk-build-pipelines is larger than 50,200 bytes, and no CDK Toolkit info was provided
The template for stack cdk-build-pipelines is larger than 50,200 bytes, and no CDK Toolkit info was provided
The very first error message seems fine. However:
- Basically the same error is shown 3 times.
- There is an inconsistency between the sizes mentioned: one is 51k, the other one is 50.
- "No toolkit info provided" is too low-level to show to the user. "Toolkit info" is terminology internal to the Toolkit implementation, and does not concern the user.
