aws-route53: fromHostedZoneAttributes() fails when multiple hosted zones with the same name exist

[chatii]

Describe the bug

Due to a mistake, multiple hosted zones with the same name were created (this was my error during operations).

In CDK, I used fromHostedZoneAttributes with both the zone name and zone ID specified to retrieve the correct single zone.
Since the zone ID is unique, I expected a single zone to be retrieved.
However, the result was an error indicating that multiple zones exist.

Expected Behavior

The hosted zone with the specified zone ID should be retrieved.

Current Behavior

Found zones: [{"Id":"/hostedzone/Zxxxxxx...","Name":"example.example.com",...},{"Id":"/hostedzone/Zyyyyyy...","Name":"example.example.com",...},{"Id":"/hostedzone/Zzzzzzz...",""Name":"example.example.com",...}] for dns:hbpcc-dev.com, privateZone:undefined, vpcId:undefined, but wanted exactly 1 zone

Reproduction Steps

The following code to create hosted zones is clearly incorrect from an operational standpoint, but should be able to reproduce the issue.

const zone1 = new PublicHostedZone(this, "Zone1", {
  zoneName: "foo.example.com",
});
const zone2 = new PublicHostedZone(this, "Zone2", {
  zoneName: "foo.example.com",
});

When two hosted zones with the same name have been created, attempting to retrieve one of them by specifying its hosted zone ID results in an error, as shown below.

const hostedZone = HostedZone.fromHostedZoneAttributes(this, "FromAttr", {
  hostedZoneId: "Zxxxxxxx....",
  zoneName: "foo.example.com",
});

This works perfect for me in 2.176.0

Are you able to deploy my provided dummy stack below?

export class DummyStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const zone1 = new r53.PublicHostedZone(this, "Zone1", {
      zoneName: "foo.mydemo.com",
    });
    new CfnOutput(this, "Zone1Id", { value: zone1.hostedZoneId });

    const zone2 = new r53.PublicHostedZone(this, "Zone2", {
      zoneName: "foo.mydemo.com",
    });
    new CfnOutput(this, "Zone2Id", { value: zone1.hostedZoneId });

    const importedZone = r53.HostedZone.fromHostedZoneAttributes(this, "importedZone", {
      hostedZoneId: 'Z0977484290BNLEFRSMK0', // or just zone1.hostedZoneId
      zoneName: "foo.mydemo.com",
    });

    new CfnOutput(this, "ImportedZoneId", { value: importedZone.hostedZoneId });
    new CfnOutput(this, "ImportedZoneName", { value: importedZone.zoneName });

  }
}

@pahud
Thank you for your reply.

I upgraded CDK (2.176.0) and tried both your example code and a demo that more closely resembles our actual code.
(creating PublicHostedZones with the same zoneName in multiple stacks, and then referencing them using fromPublicHostedZoneAttributes() in another stack)
As a result, it worked as expected.

The original code that experienced the issue can no longer be verified as the HostedZone was manually deleted for work purposes, so this issue can be considered resolved.

I express my gratitude and will close this issue.
