did you modify your state.json file by any change? org.yml seems as plain as can be. otherwise, use option --print-stack to print stack? that would be helpful too. thanks!

i think there is two issues here:

• you are not able to assume a role (because you are logged in as root). I'll add that to the documentation that is linked in the error. the solution for this is to be logged in using an IAM user or role (be it through SSO or otherwise).
• something with serviceControlPolicies.

could you try running the command again with --print-stack? i assume you didn't change the state.json file stored in s3

org-formation perform-tasks ./organization-tasks.yml --no-color --state-bucket-name organization-formation-705671790868 --state-object state.json --print-stack

[OlafConijn]

--print-stack prints the stacktrace of any error to the output. I do realize (only now?) that the term stack got overloaded quite a bit :D

Deleting state.json managed to fix the situation after resetting organization.yml back to basics.

[k-paulius]

I just encountered this same issue.

My starting point was a brand new AWS Org with the following structure

• Root
  • Deployments
    • Prod
      • org-formation-cicd-prod (account)
  • management (account)

I ran "org-formation init-pipeline" with org-formation-cicd-prod account being my build account and everything was configured successfully. I then modified organization.yml, but build process failed because I must have made some mistakes in the file.

org-formation deleted Deployments -> Prod OU, but it did not update the state.json file. Every run after this event was getting "Cannot read property 'serviceControlPolicies' of undefined" error

Removing the information about, non-existant, Prod OU from the state.json file solved the issue.

@OlafConijn, I think the changes you've introduced in the 1.0.10-beta2 release may close this issue.
