Serverless: The specified bucket does not exist

Question

I stupidly removed the s3 bucket for my serverless project. When I now try and deploy or remove my application I get this error: The specified bucket does not exist How can I recreate the s3 bucket from Serverless?

Answer 1

I needed to delete the stack from cloud formation, once done I was able to re-run serverless deploy successfully.

Have you tried adding the bucket again? I think it might not be added in the cloud formation. – Peachy

Deleting a production stack is not an option for some. So to recover the old bucket, go to the CloudFormation console for the stack in question, click the Resources tab, your bucket should be listed there somewhere. Just re-create it from the S3 console. – Imhoff

Answer 2

Yes the serverless works like that only. When you deleted the s3 bucket it was not deleted from the stack entry hence it was failed. We should delete Stack entry as well from it if we are deleting the S3 bucket. From error handling we can also check if bucket exists or not.

For production use this plugin

and set the bucket. it will create if it doesnt exist.

provider:
    name: aws
    region: us-east-1
    runtime: provided.al2
    stackName: buggy
    deploymentBucket:
        name: buggy-deploymentbucket
