'cfn submit --dry-run' locally[without docker:false] not include build_dependencies to package

[TamerElfeky]

I am planning to build cf_hook package and push to s3 using our own pipeline standard , so i depend on cfn submit --dry-run

• which working well with 'use_docker": true,'
• but giving smaller_pakacge in case i used '"use_docker": false,' , the reason that it skips the `pip install' stage before closing the package

cfn_ver: cfn 0.2.27

output.err

I wondering if that was meant to run like that initially, Its highly appreciated to consider a quick fix

I think its the same as https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-cli-python-plugin/issues/235

Hi @TamerElfeky that looks to be correct. The fix is also merged into the master branch of the python plugin. Are you able to use the workarounds I mentioned in https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-cli-python-plugin/issues/235 ?

We are also on AWS CloudFormation Discord.

@mmaeng yes, I have reverted the version to *.15 version and worked fine
