failure on serverless deploy Template format error: Unresolved resource dependencies

Question

all

As it said in the title, I just delete all the cloudformation stack and try to do the fresh deploy again. but when I run the sls deploy --verbose, it shows the error

The CloudFormation template is invalid: Template format error: Unresolved resource dependencies [ServerlessDeploymentBucket] in the Resources block of the template

For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.

I double check my serverless.yml file, but found I don’t define a bucket with Name ServerlessDeploymentBucket.

Then I go to the AWS console, after clicking my root stack (I am using the serverless-split-stack plugin), there is only a simple template

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09
Description: The AWS CloudFormation template for this Serverless application
Resources:
  ServerlessDeploymentBucket:
    Type: 'AWS::S3::Bucket'
Outputs:
  ServerlessDeploymentBucketName:
    Value: !Ref ServerlessDeploymentBucket

while actually in my origin serverless.yaml, there are more than 1200 lines. Quite wondering what is the error related to the serverless. Appreciated for anyone could help. Thanks.

Edit: there are a bunch of plugin I am using which maybe useful for troubleshooting the error:

   serverless-content-encoding 
   serverless-pseudo-parameters      
   serverless-webpack 
   serverless-offline 
   serverless-plugin-split-stacks 
   serverless-plugin-custom-roles 
   serverless-domain-manager      
   serverless-s3-deploy serverless-plugin-tracing

Regards.

is there any chance you are using template exported from an old stack?

By the way What happens if you just

delete the stack
and just sls deploy?

It will create the template for you (and the stack) and deploy it.
