Bug: sam sync - ClientError

[Glydric]

Description:

I was deploy a lambda function using sam sync

I get this

Error: An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the GetTemplateSummary operation: GetTemplateSummary cannot be called on stacks pending Transform.

Add --debug flag to command you are running

@DevThoth Thanks for the report. Updating labels.

[jfuss]

@DevThoth Could you explain how you ran into this issue? Also, sam sync --watch may be useful to you, if you are running sam sync manually all the time.

[Glydric]

I then find you that the problem was caused by configuration template, if it is wrong the command will not warn but instead will throw an error

[jfuss]

@DevThoth I am not sure I follow. Are you saying that the template.yaml or whatever your CFN template is written in is invalid, you hit the above issue you reported?

[Glydric]

Yes, template.yaml was wrong and i find out creating a new from 0 and comparing the templates

[jfuss]

@DevThoth Understood. Thank you for the additional information. Does this error happen why you tried to do sync the first time or just during the process of editing and updating?

Just trying to make sure I fully understand all the conditions.

[Glydric]

First sync

i get the same error now

This appears to be solved by https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/pull/5152. I can't replicate the exact error above but was able to get a ValidationError thrown by providing an invalid template. Now the template exists safely without stacktrace with info on the error from CloudFormation.

This should go out in our next release, so updating labels. You can try to use our nightly releases to confirm the latest works. Details can be found here

Patch is released in v1.84.0. Closing

If anyone else gets here trying to search, add --stack-name [something], that worked for me. Apparently having default.global.parameters stack_name set doesn't matter. This is on SAM CLI version 1.125.0.
