(ecs): FargateService - register_load_balancer_target doesn't accept a valid listener when used with python 3.10.6

[Balaji-JBC]

Describe the bug

I try to register load balancer target using register load balancer targets. However, I always get a jsii type error. Intellisense and aws_cdk documentation have right examples

Expected Behavior

If the listener is of valid type. It's not supposed to throw any error

Current Behavior

Even when the listener is valid the following error is thrown
TypeError: type of argument listener must be aws_cdk.aws_elasticloadbalancingv2.ApplicationListener; got jsii._reference_map.InterfaceDynamicProxy instead

Reproduction Steps

This error can be reproduced by running the example provided in the aws_cdk documentation itself

# cluster: ecs.Cluster
# task_definition: ecs.TaskDefinition
# vpc: ec2.Vpc

service = ecs.FargateService(self, "Service", cluster=cluster, task_definition=task_definition)

lb = elbv2.ApplicationLoadBalancer(self, "LB", vpc=vpc, internet_facing=True)
listener = lb.add_listener("Listener", port=80)
service.register_load_balancer_targets(
    container_name="web",
    container_port=80,
    new_target_group_id="ECS",
    listener=ecs.ListenerConfig.application_listener(listener,
        protocol=elbv2.ApplicationProtocol.HTTPS
    )
)

I can't reproduce this @Balaji-JBC, but this isn't a full snippet that will run out of the box since some of the resources aren't truly defined here.

In addition to needing to define some additional resources that this snippet doesn't really do, you'll also find that there's something missing in the snippet. I am pretty sure you need to wrap the props passed into register_load_balancer_target with the ecs.EcsTarget builder like so:

        service.register_load_balancer_targets(ecs.EcsTarget(
            container_name="web",
            container_port=80,
            new_target_group_id="ECS",
            listener=ecs.ListenerConfig.application_listener(listener,
                protocol=elbv2.ApplicationProtocol.HTTPS
            )
        ))

Let me know if this helps, and we can track this as a documentation issue. You may also want to try reinstalling your packages and making sure all the CDK versions are the same, that's a pretty odd error you got for this.

Hello @peterwoodworth . The proposed solution also didn't work. I got the same error. Here's the snippet

        https_listener = elb.ApplicationListener.from_application_listener_attributes(
            self, "HTTPSListener",
            listener_arn=https_listener_arn,
            security_group=ec2.SecurityGroup.from_security_group_id(
                self,
                "ListenerSecurityGroup",
                security_group_id=sg_id
            )
        )

        service.register_load_balancer_targets(ecs.EcsTarget(
                container_name="web",
                container_port=80,
                new_target_group_id="ECS",
                listener=ecs.ListenerConfig.application_listener(
                    https_listener,
                    protocol=elb.ApplicationProtocol.HTTPS
                ),
            )
        )

Got the same error

TypeError: type of argument listener must be aws_cdk.aws_elasticloadbalancingv2.ApplicationListener; got jsii._reference_map.Interfa
ceDynamicProxy instead

Edit: I'm using Python 3.10.6. Is that maybe causing the issue?

[peterwoodworth]

Oh, this is because you're importing the ApplicationListener, which returns an IApplicationListener. ListenerConfig.application_listener() requires the full ApplicationListener construct, so this shouldn't work
