Receiving TypeError: Cannot read property 'stepFunctions' of undefined since 3.0.0 release

[dsciacca]

This is a Bug Report

Description

For bug reports:

• What went wrong?
  Since the v3.0.0 release my team is unable to deploy stacks that include the stepFunctions section in the serverless.yaml file, seeing TypeError: Cannot read property 'stepFunctions' of undefined at least when trying to deploy a new stack that includes a stepFunctions section. Pinning to serverless-step-functions v2.32.0 resolves the issue.
• What did you expect should have happened?
  Expected this to work as usual and stack to be deployed w/o issue. The same serverless.yaml files have been working for creating/updating new/existing stacks for years, no changes were made to these files on our end.
• What was the config you used?
  Pertinent section of my serverless.yaml file:

stepFunctions:
  stateMachines:
    partnerStateMachine:
      name: dxdl_sm-partner_state_machine_${self:provider.stage}
      role: ${file(../../config/env_configs.yaml):${self:provider.stage}.role}
      definition: ${file(../../step_functions/partners/create_partner_sfn.yml):definition}

    deletePartnerStateMachine:
        name: dxdl_sm-delete_partner_state_machine_${self:provider.stage}
        role: ${file(../../config/env_configs.yaml):${self:provider.stage}.role}
        definition: ${file(../../step_functions/partners/delete_partner_sfn.yml):definition}

• What stacktrace or error message from your provider did you see?

[dsciacca]

Thanks for the additional link @Fomin2402 to confirm I do have serverless-step-functions called out in the plugins section of my serverless.yaml file:

plugins:
  - serverless-step-functions
  - serverless-pseudo-parameters

Getting the same issue on 3.1.0. I've used 2.21.1 on previous APIs fine, but integrating step functions into a different API using the latest version doesn't seem to work.

Any resolution to this issue ?

[sezhava]

I faced the same issue. I was running an incompatible plugin version with my serverless framework. I fixed it by downgrading the stepfunctions plugin version to "^1.20.0" "serverless-step-functions": "^1.20.0"

Hi,

Someone manages to trigger a step functions workflow from a lambda ? I do not.
