Hi there,

i'm trying to create my first sparkleformation stack, and getting the following error:

/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/attribute_struct-0.4.2/lib/attribute_struct/monkey_camels.rb:37:in `camel_to_s': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

    from /usr/local/bin/sfn:22:in `<main>'

Here's are the versions of the listed packages:

ruby 2.3
bogo (0.2.12)
bogo-cli (0.2.12)
hashie (3.5.7)
sfn (3.0.30)

I'm able to run sfn print --file abc successfully and creating a cloudformation stack based on the output of this command.

Any idea what is happening?

Hi. What command are you running that causes the error? Can you please run that command with the --debug flag and paste in the full output. If the error occurs with a specific template, please also include that template if possible.

Thanks!

Hi there, just tried this again today and surprisingly everything worked!!!. Maybe it was some network/proxy problems on our corporate side.

Thanks for your quick reply. Closing

The error you posted is definitely not network related. This seems to happen if you refer to a section that you are in the process of defining, e.g. something like that:

some_hash do
  root!.some_hash do
    # ...
  end
end

Ah I see. Indeed I was working on a similar snippet. This might be as well be the error. what's nerving about this issue, is that there are no way for a user to know at what part of the code, this error is happening
