Limit on including files into serverless.yml

Serverless Framework
1

Hi all,

I try to break down one large serverless.yml file into smaller manageable ones and include them with $file(PATH_TO_FILE)
serverless.yml includes a number of

  • environment setting files
  • templates per functions
  • model documentation parts

all together we have 48 files included and works fine.
however when I add one more file I get the error message bellow , regardless I
include a documentation or a template file.
The same include that breaks the service works perfectly fine if I remove any others , reducing the number of files .
Did anybody face similar problem? Could be a kind of limitation on size or number of files ?

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘shift’ of undefined
