Adding missing package for validators

markpeek commented 2 years ago

Good catch. Thanks!

@markpeek QQ: are you planning to roll out the generated classes as part of the 3.x versions (and therefore do a slow roll out) or have that prepared for a 4.x version ? Also wondering if there is a release strategy to releases ? i.e. patch every month / minor every quarter ? (something like that?) Thank you :rocket:

One of the reasons for moving to the code generation is to make troposphere more maintainable and allow for easier releases. Right now it takes a lot of sleuthing to figure out what AWS has changed week-to-week. I have tried to be careful with backward compatibility to allow for a slow rollout via 3.x releases. For 4.x I was thinking of removing most or all the backward compatibility to align with the AWS naming conventions. I'll be pushing a few more changes and then releasing in the next couple of days. But yes, I'd like to get to a more regular cadence for the releases.

Excellent. In an attempt at further automation of the rendering process I had created this only to realize after the facts that you use the Specifications files (:bell: //shame on me).

I might take a stab at doing something similar and see to if something similar could do the trick to render the troposphere files. The trick is in the validators to be imported correctly. I haven't spent enough time though with the gen() method.
