external API gateway (v1) not triggering new deployment

[ghost]

Hey guys,

do you know why an external API gateway (V1) is not triggering new deployments automatically when resources/methods/etc. change? Especially/Even when the deploy property is set to true?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63950199/how-to-use-an-existing-stage-in-api-gateway-deployments-in-aws-cdk/

I can only work around when creating a new deployment with a unique logical ID:

const restApi = apigateway.RestApi.fromRestApiAttributes(this, "rest-api", {
  restApiId:      cdk.Fn.importValue(apiId),
  rootResourceId: cdk.Fn.importValue(resourceId),
});

// Add new resources and methods here ...
    
const deployment = new apigateway.Deployment(this, `${uuid()}-deployment`, {
  restApi,
});

But this way I cannot destroy the stack anymore, because every time when deploying/destroying a new ID is created ...

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, just changing the description property did not work.

const deployment = new apigateway.Deployment(this, `deployment`, {
  api,
  description: uuid(),
});
