Variable dependency failure

Serverless Framework
1

I am trying to run a bash script that calls the serverless framework’s deploy command, to create AWS resources,

The deploy command passes parameters, which are to be referred to in the serverless.yaml file


My command is like - serverless deploy --param=deploymentRegion=us-east-1


While in the serverless.yaml, I am trying to use the passed parameter like -

region: ${param:deploymentRegion}

I am getting the following error -

Exception -----------------------------------------------
 
  "Variable dependency failure: variable 'param:deploymentRegion' references Serverless Parameters but using that service requires a concrete value to be called."
 
     For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.
