Circular dependency calling intrinsic function

[daniel12564]

Description

I'm trying to call a defined function inside my state machine but I'm getting an circular dependecy error when trying to deploy.

The CloudFormation template is invalid: Circular dependency between resources: [ParseCSVLambdaFunction, MyStateMachineRole, MainLambdaVersionnYY56DTGKT8qpoN7ArCtDdbAn6lhU27couqRaVo4, ParseCSVLambdaVersion13szSHFSBdtef6BDbtn76mDf0R84zu0MQT2JSzfaMMo, MyStateMachine, MainLambdaFunction]

This is my serverless.yml config

functions:
  main:
    handler: handler.main  <--- This function fires the state machine
  parseCSV:
    handler: handler.parse_csv

stepFunctions:
  stateMachines:
    hellostepfunc:
      name: myStateMachine
      definition:
        StartAt: GetS3File
        States:
          GetS3File:
            Type: Task
            Resource: !Ref ParseCSVLambdaFunction
            Next: SuccessState
          SuccessState:
            Type: Succeed

Any idea how can I solve this issue?

This bug is hard to confidently fix or verify without being able to deploy a real CloudFormation template — the circular dependency only manifests when CloudFormation resolves the full dependency graph, which unit tests can't catch. We're tracking integration test infrastructure in #742. This issue will be revisited once that's in place.
