Unable to launch stack: Expected types

[quinnjr]

I'm trying to launch a stack to control my WebACL and getting the following errors:

#/Rules/0/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/0/Statement/ByteMatchStatement/TextTransformations/0/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/0/VisibilityConfig/SampledRequestsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String
#/Rules/0/VisibilityConfig/CloudWatchMetricsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String
#/Rules/1/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/1/Statement/RateBasedStatement/Limit: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/1/Statement/RateBasedStatement/ScopeDownStatement/AndStatement/Statements/0/ByteMatchStatement/TextTransformations/0/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/1/Statement/RateBasedStatement/ScopeDownStatement/AndStatement/Statements/1/ByteMatchStatement/TextTransformations/0/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String

#/Rules/1/VisibilityConfig/CloudWatchMetricsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String

#/Rules/3/Priority: expected type: Number, found: String
#/Rules/3/VisibilityConfig/SampledRequestsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String
#/Rules/3/VisibilityConfig/CloudWatchMetricsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String
#/VisibilityConfig/SampledRequestsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String
#/VisibilityConfig/CloudWatchMetricsEnabled: expected type: Boolean, found: String

I can't see where the values are incorrect in my YAML. I have valid booleans and numbers in those fields.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Hi @quinnjr. Whenever I see this sort of output, it usually indicates a problem with my template, not a problem in Sceptre. From that output, my suspicion would be that you quoted some things in your template that shouldn't be "123" vs 123. Alternatively, You're passing the values from a parameter and perhaps CloudFormation isn't liking that. I can't really help you diagnose your own template problems, but I suspect whatever is going in, it has to do with your template. A useful tool for diagnosing template errors is cfn-lint, which you can run over your yaml/json templates and it will help provide meaningful feedback.
