(CustomResources): Error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Trying to resolve() a Construct at /Resources/${Token[

[AllanOricil]

Describe the bug

When attempting to synthesize a custom resource that creates resources in Salesforce, I get the following error

Expected Behavior

I was expecting to see SalesforceObject and SalesforceObjectFields as properties of "Custom::SalesforceMetadata" in the synthesized template

"salesforcemetadataSalesforceMetadataResourceFCFF42F2": {
   "Type": "Custom::SalesforceMetadata",
   "Properties": {
    "ServiceToken": {
     "Fn::GetAtt": [
      "salesforcemetadataSalesforceProviderframeworkonEventD0B8B143",
      "Arn"
     ]
    }

    // SalesforceObject
    // SalesforceObject.SalesforceObjectField

   },
   "UpdateReplacePolicy": "Delete",
   "DeletionPolicy": "Delete",
   "Metadata": {
    "aws:cdk:path": "cdk-salesforce-iac-poc-stack/salesforce-metadata/SalesforceMetadataResource/Default"
   }
  },

Current Behavior

cdk synth doesn't finish and throws the folllowing error

Other information

My goal with this custom construct it to be able to use a single tool to develop solutions that require both Salesforce and AWS resources. This simplest repository I shared is attempting to create a very simple Database Table in Salesforce (they call it SObject, but let's try to use terms which both of us understand even if it is wrong). I want to join all salesforce resources under one called "SalesforceMetadata" so that it represents all metadata that belongs to a single Salesforce Organization. Moreover, I did not create custom resources for SalesforceObject and SalesforceObjectField constructs because I wan't them to be deployed by Custom::SalesforceMetadata. In other words, they can't be deployed alone.

I want to build something like Mongodb Atlas did

Anybody who can help here?

Your PoC is a little bit too much for us to help and as we don't have SaleForce credentials we can't help you debug like that.

Generally, you will need to simplify your code and first make sure you can successfully create the custom resource.

https://github.com/AllanOricil/cdk-salesforce-iac-poc/blob/274930054cecda7475b5c2cf84b21a1d3b0b24cd/lib/constructs/salesforce-metadata.ts#L51-L57

new cdk.CustomResource(this, "SalesforceMetadataResource", {
      serviceToken: salesforceProvider.serviceToken,
      resourceType: "Custom::SalesforceMetadata",
      properties: {
        objects: this.objects,
      },
    });

Are you able to create a simple custom resource like that first, iterate from there and see what makes it fail on synth?

@pahud when removing the other construct called SalesforceObject from the stack, as well as its field, the synthesis happen with no problem.

What is wrong with the SalesforceObject construct? I could declare it as a simple class, but would cdk be able to tell me what has changed in the SalesforceMetada construct? Additionally, would the class props be in the synthesized template?

I don't want to make another custom provider for SalesforceObject, or SalesforceObjectField, because I think that If I do it, I will have to create a lambda function for it as well, and that it will be deployable by its own, and I don't want it because I want the SalesforceMetadata construct to be the only deployable resource.

When creating a SalesforceMetadata, I want its lambda function to have refs for all other constructs that composes it, so that the lambda can generate the Ifrastructure manifest that salesforce actually uses.
