SSM get_connection_status response doc doesn't match case

[mdavis-xyz]

Describe the bug

The docs for SSM get_connection_status say the response can be 'Connected'|'NotConnected' (upper case first letter).

This is not the case. I'm getting a response with a lowercase.

Note that there's no waiters for this API. So I wrote my own while loop, waiting for status to be Connected. It was connected, so my while loop hangs forever.

Expected Behavior

Documented response and actual response match in a case sensitive way.

boto3.client('ssm').get_connection_status(Target='i-0da29bfd2959949cc')['Status']

gives:

'Connected'

Current Behavior

Actual response is lowercase. Docs say CamelCase.

Reproduction Steps

boto3.client('ssm').get_connection_status(Target='i-0da29bfd2959949cc')['Status']

gives:

'connected'

Possible Solution

Please ask the service team to update their documentation to reflect the correct case.

While you're at it, ask them to add a waiter for this call.

Hi @mdavis-xyz - thanks for reporting this behavior. I was able to reproduce it that status response came back notconnected where in the docs, it's written as NotConnected.

As you'd probably already know, these docs get generated upstream by Service API team which is why I'm going to create new issue in our shared repo (aws/aws-sdk) and reach out to corresponding team. Since I'm going to close this one, please check in for update here going forward.

Best,
John
