If I have a lambda invocation step that looks like this:
new InvokeLambdaFunctionStep(this, "soft-delete-step", {
name: "InvokeMyLambda",
functionName: HardCodedString.of("my-lambda"),
payload: new HardCodedStringMap({}),
userOutputs: [
{
name: "Message",
outputType: DataTypeEnum.STRING,
selector: "$.message",
},
],
});
And then in my doc I have docOuputs that looks like this:
docOutputs: [
{
name: "InvokeMyLambda.Message",
outputType: DataTypeEnum.STRING,
},
],
During synth I will get this error:
Error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Resolution error: Cannot find output {"name":"InvokeMyLambda.Message","outputType":0} specified as an output of step InvokeMyLambda.
The reason this happens, is because during doc output validation, we look for step outputs to see if they match the name that we reference in the doc outputs. See https://github.com/cdklabs/cdk-ssm-documents/blob/main/src/document/automation-document.ts#L88-L89
However, the InvokeLambdaFunctionStep overrides the listOutputs method returning a static list of outputs. See https://github.com/cdklabs/cdk-ssm-documents/blob/main/src/parent-steps/automation/invoke-lambda-function-step.ts#L70
Therefore, user outputs can never be used as document outputs.
I would be happy to work on this issue, just need to know if there is any reason why this happens, or if it is simply a bug.
