aws-cdk/pipelines: Pipeline stack which uses cross-environment actions must have an explicitly set region

I’ve run into an error that i just can’t resolve, i’ve reduced the problem down to a minimum, where i can still reproduce it.

The error is

jsii.errors.JSIIError: Pipeline stack which uses cross-environment actions must have an explicitly set region

I am trying to add multiple stacks to a stage. The stacks are in different accounts… I’m creating the stage… and and adding it to my pipeline…

stage_env = core.Environment(
                account='111111222222',
                region='ap-southeast-2' 
            )
this_stage = PipelineStage(self, f'{stage_name}',
                env = stage_env,
                stage_stacks = stage_cfg['Stacks'],
                local_lookup_profile = pipeline_cfg['Pipeline']['LocalLookupProfile']
            ) 
self.pipeline.add_application_stage(
                app_stage = this_stage,
            )

The Pipeline stage is configured like this…

class PipelineStage(cdk.Stage):
    def __init__(self, scope, id: str, *, env=None, outdir=None, stage_stacks: dict, local_lookup_profile: str, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(scope, id, env=env, outdir=outdir, **kwargs)
        print(self.region)
        print(self.account)
        Mystack= Stack(self, 'blahblah',
                        env = cdk.Environment(
                            account='1111113333333',
                            region='ap-southeast-2'
                        )
        )

and the stack ( which is just empty right now for the sake of testing.

class Stack(cdk.Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope: cdk.Stack, id: str, *, env=None,  **kwargs):
        super().__init__(scope, id, env=env,**kwargs)

when i cdk synth this… i get the error above, but I’m confused, because i’ have ( well i think i have ) set the environment for the stack…

I belive i’m

Hey @mrpackethead ,

can you show how do you create the Pipeline Stack?

Thanks, Adam
