jsii.errors.JSIIError: The 'account' property must be a concrete value (action: 'DeployAction')

[afisher-stelligent]

Hi All--

Have a strange situation here... two CDK applications. App A exports a VPC id as an SSM parameter:

vpc_id = ssm.StringParameter(self, 'VPCID', parameter_name='/my/app/VPCID', string_value=vpc.vpc_id)

As we all know, in order to use SSM, you have to be account and region aware:

AppStack(app, "CdkAppStack",
    env=cdk.Environment(account=os.getenv('CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT'), region=os.getenv('CDK_DEFAULT_REGION'))
)

Environment variables are exported correctly and show up in a env command.

App B is set up similarly, and includes a DeployAction for an ECS cluster:

deploy_action = codepipeline_actions.EcsDeployAction(
            action_name="DeployAction",
            service=service,
            input=build_output
        )

The error above occurs when the CDK attempts to add the action to the pipeline.
