After updating serverless-appsync-plugin from version 1.0.8 to 1.1.2 I am gettingthe following error when I deploy:

At the same time I updated serverless from 1.32.0 to 1.45.0.

Deleting the log group and re-deploy works, but that's not the expected behaviour: We can't delete all the logs each time we deploy a new version.

[UPDATE]: I tested separately upgrades of serverless and serverless-appsync-plugin. Confirm that upgrade of serverless to 1.45.1 works as expected. I get the error when upgrading serverless-appsync-plugin to 1.1.2.

@eloypnd I think this is not the first time it happens. There was a breaking change at some point in a recent version I believe. You should not see that error again.

[eloypnd]

Thanks for your reply @bboure. Can you point me to which version has the breaking point and what should I do to fix it? Because this error keeps happening every time I push new changes to AppSync.

I upgraded from 1.0.9 to 1.1.2 and have this issue now as well.

After removing the loggingRoleArn and the resource I added for it this error went away.

I ran into this today as well.

I believe this is what @bboure is referring to:

https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin/pull/220#issuecomment-474201062

It's not a big deal to me if I need to delete the log group, just as long as the AppSync API isn't also deleted.

[bboure]

Sorry for leaving that aside for so long. @eloypnd are you still experiencing this issue?

#220 was indeed what probably caused this. Have you tried the suggested solutions there?

If this is still an issue for many people, please +1 this issue and we can try to find a solution
