Create multiple stacks with different names for same applicaiton

[mohamedazouz]

• I'm trying to create multiple stacks with different name for same application using parameter files i'm passing stack as following:

   StackName: "{{Arguments.StackName}}"
  

It gives me this error [AGENT] Stack not found: {{Arguments.StackName}}-20170718V379

When I tried to pass it sing command line it gives me with parameter file the following error:

[AGENT] Error: Parameter specified multiple times: "StackName"

Problem is clearly here https://github.com/zalando-stups/lizzy/blob/master/lizzy/api.py#L109 Can we just try to replace the {{Arguments.any}} with one from provided parameters?

I get other issues depending on the StackName:

• for StackName: {{Arguments.StackName}} :

• for StackName: appname-{{Arguments.StackName}}, I get an error in the agent: [AGENT] Stack not found: appname-{{Arguments.Stage}}

In the case where the StackName contains a parameter (e.g. appname-{{Arguments.Stage}}), the failing line seems to be https://github.com/zalando-stups/lizzy/blob/0d3b1a97a20e1d8b4b9e703a2af5ea319bc8f172/lizzy/api.py#L136 when lizzy tries to get the stack it just created.

In this case, Lizzy has logged Stack created and the stack can be found on AWS.
