Error: Waiter StackCreateComplete failed: Waiter encountered a terminal failure state

[dariushazimi]

Hello,
@wascou
I am running into a number of errors. I exported the user name with a unique user like:
export USERNAME=myfebeighttestofserverlesssubtitles
After that, I run the ./create-all.sh but get the following errors. The only part that worked was creating the dynamodb table.
S3 bucket is also not created.
Am I missing anything?
Could you pls provide some directions?

Thanks

  ./create-all.sh

@dariushazimi ,
Was it the first time you were running it ? Sounds like a client error.
You can look inside the script and launch each step one by one.
I suggest to delete-all.sh then start again this way.
Once the script is run, you can log in your console and look at Cloudformation stacks.
You will have more information.

I've got the same problem. I did a delete-all.sh before starting the script.

Waiter errors are thrown if waitermodel encounters a failure: https://github.com/boto/botocore/blob/develop/botocore/waiter.py#L320-L324

[shaivilpatel]

is delete-all.sh a separate file?

[wascou]

@shaivilpatel Yes it is : https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-subtitles/blob/master/cloudformation/delete-all.sh

In my case issue was resolved by removing unnecessary S3 bucket layers from different lambdas it was consuming extra space making lambdas very heavy and then build the project again and try deploying the same.
