Stack create failed due launchconfig reference not found

[huangtianhua]

1. create a stack with aws autoscaling group:
***************************************
heat_template_version: 2015-04-30
parameters:
  subnet:
    type: string
    default: 763ded43-05bc-4cfb-ba59-e0ff0bb80e5e
resources:
  my_asg:
    type: AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup
    properties:
      AvailabilityZones: ['nova']
      LaunchConfigurationName: lc
      MaxSize: 4
      MinSize: 1
      VPCZoneIdentifier:
      - get_param: subnet
    depends_on: lc
  lc:
    type: AWS::AutoScaling::LaunchConfiguration
    properties:
      ImageId: cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk
      InstanceType: 1
***************************************************

2. I used 'depends_on' instead of {get_resource: lc}, but the stack created failed, a valueerror raised: ValueError: resources.my_asg: LaunchConfigurationName (lc) reference can not be found.

    Allow resource name as reference if using depends_on

    We allow using 'depends_on' instead of 'get_resource'
    function to explictly indicate the dependency, and some
    resources override the get_reference_id() method to return
    the physical_resource_name, in this case the resource name
    won't match the physical_resource_name, so we should allow
    to find resource in stack with resource name as reference.
