CDK version 1.16.2 - cdk deploy does not accept stackname

❓ General Issue

The Question

Were there any recent changes related to passing stackname to CDK deploy?

Noticed my CDK deploy started failing since the version was updated to 1.16.2

I am passing a stack name to cdk deploy

cdk deploy ${PERF_TEST_STACK_NAME} 

where export PERF_TEST_STACK_NAME=somestackname

but cdk deploy is returning "No stack found matching 'somestackname'. Use "list" to print manifest” and when I do cdk list, it returns PerftestStackAirlineStack

/bin/cdk-app.ts

const STACK_NAME = process.env.PERF_TEST_STACK_NAME
const app = new cdk.App();
new PerftestStackAirlineStack(app, 'PerftestStackAirlineStack', {stackName: STACK_NAME});

This was working before I updated the cdk version (previous working verison was 1.10.x).

Environment

• CDK CLI Version: 1.16.2 (build 5893301)
• Module Version: @aws-cdk/core: 1.16.2
• OS: OSX Mojave
• Language: Typescript

Acknowledging as a regression. This should have been enabled only under a feature flag for new projects.
