Serverless: Service files not changed. Skipping deployment

Question

After some successful projects, I have deleted the functions inside AWS-lambda, deleted the logs in CloudWatch and the IAM roles. Also deleted the my-service folder from my Documents.

Then I followed the steps in this tutorial in serverless.

Now when I run:

serverless deploy --aws-profile testUser_atWork

where testUser_atWork is one of my profiles to connect in AWS.

I get the follow error:

Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Excluding development dependencies...
Serverless: Service files not changed. Skipping deployment...
Service Information
service: my-service
stage: dev
region: us-east-1
stack: my-service-dev
api keys:
  None
endpoints:
  None
functions:
  hello: my-service-dev-hello




//serverless.yml

service: my-service

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10


functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello

And this my handler.js

'use strict';

module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
  const response = {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      message: 'Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully!',
      input: event,
    }),
  };

  callback(null, response);

  // Use this code if you don't use the http event with the LAMBDA-PROXY integration
  // callback(null, { message: 'Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully!', event });
};

I don't understand why it is skipping deployment.

Answer 1

have you tried : serverless deploy --aws-profile testUser_atWork --force to force it to update the stack?

Otherwise, try deleting the stack in cloudformation, or with the serverless remove command
