The error Error: Stack "exampleStack1" cannot consume a cross reference from stack "exampleStack2". Cross stack references are only supported for stacks deployed to the same environment or between nested stacks and their parent stack
likely happens if you do the following:
- You try to reference another stack that is in a different AWS region. Note: cross region references aren’t supported.
- You aren’t passing
region
andaccount
values in theenv
of theStackProps
.
In order to fix the error in AWS CDK, you need to add the env
with region
and account
parameters to the stack when you create it as shown in the code example below:
new exampleStack1(
app, 'exampleStack1', {
env: {
region: 'eu-west-1',
account: '012345678910',
},
});
}
