(codedeploy.ServerDeploymentGroup): Creating ServerDeploymentGroup does not create Application implicitly

[dhirajkhodade]

❓ General Issue

I tried to create ServerDeploymentGroup and ran into this error -

Error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Cannot use resource 'DeploymentGroupStack/my-app/Application' in a cross-environment fashion, the resource's physical name must be explicit set or use PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED.

Code -

new codedeploy.ServerDeploymentGroup(this, props.applicationName, {
         deploymentGroupName: PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
         ec2InstanceTags: new codedeploy.InstanceTagSet({
        'Name': [props.applicationName],
      }),
    })

To resolve this error I had to create Application first

const application = new codedeploy.ServerApplication(this, 'App', {
      applicationName: PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
    });

new codedeploy.ServerDeploymentGroup(this, props.applicationName, {
      deploymentGroupName: PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
      application: application,
      ec2InstanceTags: new codedeploy.InstanceTagSet({
        'Name': [props.applicationName],
      }),
    });

Expected Result

I think doing this should automatically create the Application owning the Deployment Group also with PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED.

    new codedeploy.ServerDeploymentGroup(this, props.applicationName, {
      deploymentGroupName: PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
    });
