Aws-cdk: Intermittent CDK behaviour, where it claims that a stack is not there, when in fact it is.

[pontusvision]

I am using code build to run cdk deploy, and am getting Intermittent CDK behaviour, where it claims that a stack is not there, when in fact it is. Retrying the code build step 2 or 3 times seems to cause the problem to go away.

Reproduction Steps

command cdk deploy --require-approval never -r arn:aws:iam::${MYACCOUNT}:role/${MYROLE} myproject-devAppPipelineStack

Error Log

Stack ARN:
arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-2:XXXXXXXXX:stack/MYSTACK/61fa19c0-35fd-11ea-b99c-0622cd7b28da
myproject-leodevAppPipelineStack

This is :bug: Bug Report

[nzspambot]

@pontusvision is this after a failed stack deployment? I have seen this where the stack has failed and rolled back and subsequent deployments fail this way

[shivlaks]

@pontusvision @nzspambot I believe this is the same issue as #7340
This issue was resolved as of 1.42.0 (current version is 1.42.1)

the details of the scenario where this occurs can be found here

I don't believe further action is needed

[nzspambot]

@shivlaks perfect that is nice to know it is fixed

[shivlaks]

I'm going to resolve this as a duplicate of #7340
feel free to reopen if the issue persists beyond v1.42.0
