Security Group Id: sg-12345 not found

[Ichimokuzero]

I was trying to import an existing Security Group in CDK by using SecurityGroup.fromSecurityGroupId method and it failed with the following error:

Security Group Id: sg-12345 not found! (Service: AmazonEC2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidGroup.NotFound; Request ID: 8e2cd924-075d-4c64-b5ba-2e1d9c72fe95; Proxy: null)

Below is my CDK code:
const sg = SecurityGroup.fromSecurityGroupId(this, 'sgFromLookUp', 'sg-084c533df9d662439');

I double checked that the security group id is correct, I also tried the other 2 methods for security group look up:
SecurityGroup.fromLookupById()
SecurityGroup.fromLookupByName()

All of them returned the same error, any ideas why?

I'm guessing it's related to this dummy SG value in CDK. You may have a dependency issue and need to make some resource dependent on the security group in question so that the security group ID can be resolved.

Method SecurityGroup.fromSecurityGroupId doesn't use Security Group sg-12345. This Security Group ist only part of the fromLookup methods.

Can you please describe your use case so we can see which of those methods is correct? Can you share the code for a minimum example where the issue occurs? (using SecurityGroup.fromSecurityGroupId) Please also add the error message again.

You can use fromSecurityGroupId .
