Value null at 'invalidationBatch.callerReference' for New-CFInvalidation

[frankfuu]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Cloudfront Invalidation. Here was my command

New-CFInvalidation -DistributionId "E2VZ0IAPPOXXX" -Paths_Item "/*"

but I get an error saying the parameters InvalidationBatch_CallerReference and Paths_Quantity are required but the documentation says otherwise.

New-CFInvalidation : 2 validation errors detected: 
Value null at 'invalidationBatch.callerReference' failed to satisfy constraint: Member must not be null; Value null at 'invalidationBatch.paths.quantity' failed to satisfy constraint: Member must not be null
At line:1 char:1

I've confirmed that for that using Ubuntu's AWS CLI that the two params don't seem neccessary because I tried the following and works fine.

aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id E2VZ0IAPPOXXX--paths "/*"

Here is my AWS Powershell installation details.

Any ideas?

I can confirm this issue, maybe the documentation should be updated.
