fix(assertions): throw error or warn when `synth` is called multiple times on mutated construct tree #31865

sumupitchayan · 2024-10-23T14:54:41Z

Reason for this change

Calling Template.fromStack(stack) twice on the same stack object will throw the error Unable to find artifact with id if the stack is mutated after the first Template.fromStack(stack) call. This is because synth should only be called once - from the comment on the synth function:

Once an assembly has been synthesized, it cannot be modified. Subsequent calls will return the same assembly.

Second call of Template.fromStack(stack) tries to find the mutated stack since app.synth() caches and returns the assembly from the first synth call.

Description of changes

This PR checks to see whether or not the construct tree has been each time synth() is called - if it has, then we either throw an error or a warning. We will only throw a warning if synth is being called from process.once('beforeExit').

Description of how you validated changes

Unit test with the customer's same example case, asserting than an error is thrown when synth is called twice after a stack has been mutated after the first synth call.

This existing pipelines test had to be changed to not throw an error - all I did was move the stack mutations before the Template.fromStack() calls

That's perfect!

+      } else {
+        // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
+        console.error(errorMessage);


So we print this as a warning. And now what? The message text implies that we are in the warning situation and is trying to say the following:

Hey we have detected that you called synth() multiple and changed the construct tree after the first synth()

We are going to ignoring all changes, but are not failing the execution.

You should stop doing this, unless you really know what you do.

+    if (!this.constructPathSetsAreEqual(this.constructPathsCache, newConstructPaths)) {
+      const errorMessage = 'The construct tree has been modified after synthesis. Only the results of the first synth() call are written to disk, and modifications done after it are ignored. Avoid construct tree mutations after synth() has been called.';
+      if (options.errorOnDuplicateSynth ?? true) {
+        throw new Error(errorMessage);


Not sure we can really use the exact same message. the call to action is different when there is an error vs a warning. In my head, the error scenario is this:

Hey we have detected that you called synth() multiple times and changed the construct tree after the first synth()

You cannot do this, we are failing the execution.

If you really know what you are doing, you can set this flag to keep going:

Much improvement on the error messages. Still not 100% happy though.

Just tested and confirmed that addWarningV2() doesn't work - going with Rico's console.error() suggestion
