[aws-dynamodb] when setting PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED to tableName, throwing error Invalid physical name passed to CloudFormation. Use "this.physicalName" instead #9374
Description
Hi team, I'm trying to do a cross-env reference on a ddb table. After I specify the tableName to PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED, synthesizing process breaks.
The error message says:
Error: Resolution error: Invalid physical name passed to CloudFormation. Use "this.physicalName" instead.
I suspect this is a bug, as my experiment on a cross-env referenced IAM role works just fine with PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED (not included in the example below)
And I think this error message is confusing. I have no idea what to do with this message. Any context how should I interpret it?
Reproduction Steps
here is an example I used: https://github.com/flyingImer/cdk-mkii
cdk synth breaks even without SomeStack referencing to the ddb table defined in CdkMkiiStack
Error Log
Error: Resolution error: Invalid physical name passed to CloudFormation. Use "this.physicalName" instead.
