ImageBuilder Component missing "type" attribute

[Dogers]

Version of AWS SDK for Go?

master?

What issue did you see?

Per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/APIReference/API_Component.html
Component has a "type" attribute which should take either BUILD or TEST. These are set in the SDK(1), but the attribute isn't available(2) so is currently always defaulting to TEST when calling AWS.

Actually sorry after poking about more in the files, it looks like it's specifically missing in CreateComponentRequest (1) and CreateComponent (2). The Component object (3) actually has the attribute, if I'm following this correctly?

Hi @Dogers, thanks for reaching out to us. You are correct regarding the type parameter being present in the Component object but not in the input for the CreateComponent and CreateComponentRequest calls.

Looking at the service's API Reference, the Component data type looks like it is only used in the response for a GetComponent call. It appears that only the input for ImportComponent supports providing the component's type. Unfortunately I'm not sufficiently familiar with the EC2 Image Builder service to determine why this is the case or if the CreateComponent call's input should include the type field. I'd suggest reaching out to our Premium Support team by opening a new technical support case under the EC2 Image Builder service for further support on the service end.

I've had some time to play around in the console and from looking at what's created, I now believe the Type field is actually calculated from what's provided in the Data field, as there's build, validate, test, etc steps in it. Guess this is actually a non-issue!
