Fn::Sub or Fn::Join not working for SAR template about aws-serverlessrepo-python HOT 4 OPEN

@gallor Thanks for reporting this issue. Just to make sure you meant AWS::Serverless::Application and not AWS::Serverlessrepo::Application in your template right?

from aws-serverlessrepo-python.

@ShreyaGangishetty Do you mean under the Metadata section? I followed this AWS doc to set it up and it had ServerlessRepo as the type (although I did find it odd that I couldn't find any documentation to the Metadata section outside of this page) : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-template-publishing-applications.html
Is there rather a typo from this doc and I can use a different type?

from aws-serverlessrepo-python.

@gallor apologies for the confusion, you need to have AWS::ServerlessRepo::Application in the metadata section and the docs are correct. I was able to deploy your template successfully using sam deploy. But sam publish throws the same error as you mentioned. Intrinsic functions are not supported for sam publish in Metadata section. Transferring this issue to sam cli for documenting/fixing the issue

from aws-serverlessrepo-python.

@ShreyaGangishetty Great, thanks so much. Hopefully they'll add support for that. Sorry for the noob question too but how do I look up that issue on aws-sam-cli? I looked at the issue list and this is not showing up (and the activity log looks like you transferred this issue from this repo, then from aws-sam-cli again? Looks like it didn't get transferred). Thanks
