CloudFormation is not a constructor

[Carlos Espinoza]

I am trying to get cloudformation outputs, but it seems CloudFormation does not work.

I tested other services such as s3 and it works.

Also, I tested both versions: as library and copying the dist files. In both cases happen the same.

Here is my code:

function syncCfnOutputs() {
  AWSSDK.initConfig(AWS_CONFIG);
  const client = new AWSSDK.AWS.CloudFormation();
  
  client.listExports({}, (error, data) => {
    if (error) {
      throw `Error listing CloudFormation exports: ${error.message}`;
    } else {
      Logger.log(data.Exports)
    }
  })
}

Got this error:

TypeError: AWSSDK.AWS.CloudFormation is not a constructor

Any idea why or how can I fix it?

@Carloss616 did you build it with support for CF?

https://github.com/dxdc/aws-sdk-google-apps#customized-aws-sdk

The library was specifically created so that you can customize the list of services.

npm run sdk --sdk=ses,s3,ec2,lambda,cloudformation && npm run build

Oh, my bad, I may have misunderstood. I thought that by directly accessing AWS I could use all the services. Now I got it.

Thanks for the reply! 🚀
