[canhduong28]

It looks like a bug happened when CloudFormation was not enabled.

Calling update for stage dev..
Downloading and installing dependencies...
Packaging project as zip.
Uploading magsoc-javascri-dev-1503661683.zip (5.7MiB)..
Updating Lambda function code..
Updating Lambda function configuration..
Uploading magsoc-javascri-dev-template-1503661725.json (1.6KiB)..
CloudFormation stack missing, re-deploy to enable updates
Oh no! An error occurred! :(

[mcrowson]

did you find a way around this?

[canhduong28]

@mcrowson if I recall correctly, the problem disappeared after I deleted the project and redeployed it.

I ran into this yesterday, and it was a permission issue with my deployment credentials, and fixed by making sure all required permissions are granted to the Zappa deployer role: #244 (comment)

@nautilus28 is correct. Deleting the function on AWS Console and redeploying worked.
