OpsWorks describeStacks for all stacks throws validation exception

[brewsteropsdev]

A DescribeStacksRequest describeStacks call with no ID's specified throws a validation error. Per the [API](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/opsworks/model/DescribeStacksRequest.html#withStackIds(java.lang.String...), omitting the withStackIds() parameter should return a description of all stacks.

List result = opsWorksClient.describeStacks(new DescribeStacksRequest()).getStacks();

Exception in thread "main" ValidationException: Status Code: 400, AWS Service: AWSOpsWorks, AWS Request ID: 45957802-c956-11e2-bd64-95797b8784fd, AWS Error Code: ValidationException, AWS Error Message: Please provide no arguments or, one or more stack IDs

And:

List result = opsWorksClient.describeStacks(new DescribeStacksRequest().withStackIds()).getStacks();

Hi, Mbrewster,

Thanks for reporting it. For some reason, we do not have the API describeStacks(). I have reported your issue to the AWS Opsworks team. I will let you when there is any update.

thanks,

Thanks Yifei,

As a follow-on I tested the above code against the 1.4.3 API and it seems to work. Looks like it must be a regression bug.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi, Matt,

The issue has been fixed in AWS Java SDK 1.4.6 which was release today.
Thanks again for your report and help.
