iam ARN broken about awacs HOT 6 CLOSED

My apologies for the breakage. We had hoped to make ARN usage more consistent across all of the resource types. This was introduced in 8aed5cc and further changes in 0.6.0 to allow for better generated code. @phobologic and @mhahn, do you have any comments about this?

The workaround and potentially the longer term fix would be to use one of these forms:

>>> import awacs.iam
>>> awacs.__version__
'0.6.0'
>>> awacs.iam.ARN(account='123456789012', resource='root').data
'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root'
>>> awacs.iam.ARN('root', '', '123456789012').data
'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root'

Probably the old behaviour should be restored, but adding a deprecation message.
After a while then switching over to the current behaviour

Looks like the same problem exists with awacs.sns.ARN()

from awacs.

How can I do this with Troposphere? Principal=Principal("AWS", [IAM_ARN(account=Ref('AWS::AccountId'), resource='role/Administrators')]),

from awacs.

@ntwaddell, you can't. AWACS regenerate a template, which is reused (as a string) by troposphere.
In other words, Ref in AWACS are not supported. Instead use troposphere's Join!

from awacs.

Closing this - after all these years, people should have switched over if using this.
