CDK Bootstrapless Synthesizer

2.3.2 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

A bootstrapless synthesizer for the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) v2 that generates directly usable CloudFormation templates without requiring a CDK bootstrap stack. Version 2.3.2, maintains compatibility with CDK v2.

pip install cdk-bootstrapless-synthesizer

Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'BootstraplessSynthesizer' from 'cdk_bootstrapless_synthesizer' ↓

cause Installed version is too old (pre-2.0) or the import path is incorrect.

fix

Ensure you have version >=2.0.0 and import using from cdk_bootstrapless_synthesizer import BootstraplessSynthesizer.

error AttributeError: 'BootstraplessSynthesizer' object has no attribute '_synthesize' ↓

cause Using deprecated synthesize() method with incorrect signature.

fix

Use the new pattern: pass parameters to the constructor instead of calling synthesize().

error jsii.errors.JSIIError: 'BootstraplessSynthesizer' cannot be used with this CDK version ↓

cause Mixing CDK v1 and v2 packages.

fix

Ensure all CDK dependencies are from aws-cdk-lib (v2) not @aws-cdk/*.

Warnings

gotcha The BootstraplessSynthesizer requires CDK v2. Using it with CDK v1 will cause import errors. ↓

fix Upgrade to aws-cdk-lib >=2.0.0.

gotcha If you use a custom BootstrapRole or fileAssetsBucketName, you must specify them in the synthesizer properties. Otherwise the synthesized template will fail to deploy due to missing parameters. ↓

fix Explicitly pass required parameters: BootstraplessSynthesizer(fileAssetsBucketName='my-bucket', ...).

deprecated The method BootstraplessSynthesizer.synthesize() is deprecated in favor of using __init__ parameters. Directly calling synthesize() with arguments may break in future versions. ↓

fix Use the constructor to configure the synthesizer instead.

Imports

BootstraplessSynthesizer
```
from cdk_bootstrapless_synthesizer import BootstraplessSynthesizer
```
Correct import path for the main synthesizer class.

synth

from cdk_bootstrapless_synthesizer import synth

Convenience function to synthesize stacks.

Quickstart

Create a CDK app with a bootstrapless synthesizer so the template can be deployed without a pre-existing bootstrap stack.

from aws_cdk import App, Stack
from cdk_bootstrapless_synthesizer import BootstraplessSynthesizer

app = App()
stack = Stack(app, "MyStack", synthesizer=BootstraplessSynthesizer())
app.synth()
