Nested lookups do not generate dependency #664
Description
When using the ${output stack::output} lookup, Stacker automatically generates a dependency for the current stack on the referenced stack. This behaviour works as expected. However, this behaviour changes when using nested lookups.
Steps to reproduce:
Use this blueprint as s3.py:
from stacker.blueprints.base import Blueprint
from troposphere import s3, Output
class Buckets(Blueprint):
"""
Create a bucket with the given name, and output that name again.
"""
VARIABLES = {
"Bucket": {
"type": object,
"description": "S3 buckets to create"
}
}
def create_template(self):
t = self.template
variables = self.get_variables()
t.add_resource(s3.Bucket(
"Bucket",
BucketName=variables["Bucket"]
))
t.add_output(Output(
"BucketName",
Value=variables["Bucket"],
))with this config:
stacks:
- name: source
class_path: s3.Buckets
variables:
Bucket: unique-bucket-name
- name: dest
class_path: s3.Buckets
variables:
# Bucket: ${output source::name} # this works as expected
Bucket: ${output source::${default whatever::name}}Note that, when creating from scratch, the dependency is not created. Hence the dest stack is created in parallel with the source stack, but fails to resolve the lookup:
