Serverless-webpack: Error on first serverless deploy

[kennu]

When deploying a new Serverless project for the first time (stack doesn't exist in CloudFormation yet) with sls deploy, I see this error:

$ sls deploy
Serverless: Creating Stack...
Serverless: Checking stack creation progress...
......
Serverless: Stack successfully created.
Serverless: Bundling with Webpack...

  Error --------------------------------------------------

     EEXIST: file already exists, link '/Users/kennu/Projects/xxx/xxx/services/.webpack/.serverless'
     -> '/Users/kennu/Projects/xxx/xxx/services/.serverless'

     For debugging logs, run again after setting SLS_DEBUG env var.

     Please report this error. We think it might be a bug.

When I run sls deploy again, it works fine.

Interesting, I'll ding on this

I'm running into this, and no matter how many times I run deploy it breaks.

@voidfiles I've faced with the same issue. This small change fixes the problem https://github.com/demirhanaydin/serverless-webpack/commit/464d34e93b403ee02c58c7b56c9ddce0729c7403

Got this also. @demirhanaydin fix worked for me.

Could you publish a new version for this fix?

[mschinis]

Ran into this earlier today, is it possible to get this merged in?

[tuler]

Is there any workaround (without changing the source)? Maybe through a command line option.

Version 1.0.0-rc.2 is on npm with this fix!
