s3: copy full s3:// path in AWS Explorer

[b-y-f]

Problem

I want to copy full path instead of folder/filename but now I got folder/ when I click copy Path

Expected behavior

s3://bucket/folder

[justinmk3]

The Copy ARN action gives the full ARN. Are you using a tool that accepts s3:// paths but not ARNs?

One problem I noticed with AWS CLI: aws s3 command does not accept ARNs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/

That is a quirk of AWS CLI and/or S3 ARNs. For reference, it works with Lambda:

aws lambda get-function --function-name 'arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:zzz'

Proposal

• For S3 resources Copy Path can produce a s3:// URI. That is likely more useful than the current behavior.
  • Done: https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/pull/2960
• We could also special-case Copy ARN to produce a s3:// URI.

We normally need something like s3://bucket/folder to be pasted in aws cli or boto3 or awswrangler to read the data. Then data process for Machine learning.
