Reference Cognito User Pool from Resource in Lambda Authorizer

functions:
  authorized:
    handler: auth.authorized
    memorySize: 128

  Outputs:
    ...
    UserPoolArn:
      Value:
        Fn::GetAtt: [myProjectUsrPool, Arn]
      Export:
        Name: 'userpoolarn'
    ...
  Resources:
    myProjectUsrPool:
      Type: AWS::Cognito::UserPool
      Properties:
        UserPoolName: MyProject-${self:provider.stage}-user-pool
        AutoVerifiedAttributes: 
          - email

Given the config. I’m getting the following error

Trying to request a non exported variable from CloudFormation. Stack name: "my-project" Requested variable: "userpoolarn".

Am I doing this wrong?

You can’t reference an exported variable from the same service. Use Ref instead (with the JSON-style syntax).
