Remove command completely unfunctional.

TL;DR: there's some counter intuitive things with this plugin. One is that it creates an alias with the same name as the stage. (i see the docs on why this is there, and it's a good idea). But it is counter-intuitive to serverless alias remove and see the entire function be deleted.

I would expect only the alias to be deleted, and then serverless remove would delete the function.

I thought I'd do a quick spike to test this plugin and found disappointing results.. however given the activity here I am wondering if I'm doing something dumb.

This is what I did:

serverless create --template aws-nodejs --path cicdFunction

Add plugin to yaml and npm install it.

serverless deploy

--> this gives me 2 cloudformation stacks.. named:

1. cicdFunction-dev
2. cicdFunction-dev-dev

Very strange.

Also, when I try to remove it:

serverless remove

I get this:

 Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  Use "serverless alias remove --alias=dev" to remove the service.

     Serverless Version:     1.30.3

Ok, so I'll run that command to remove it.

That doesn't just remove the alias it removes the entire function. I really need control over each independently.

Is this just a new plugin and this is expected or how can I massage it for now?

Yes, I faced the same issue while removing the master alias. It removes whole deployment stage and resources
