CloudDirectory: TypeError on listIndex operation

[k3karthic]

When i try to perform a listIndex operation (with or without RangesOnIndexedValues param) on my cloud directory the following error is thrown. The issue occurs on Lambda and on Node version 6.9.4.

The same operation when performed from the aws cli returns the expected result.

OS: CentOS 7
Node: v6.9.4
AWS SDK: v2.9.0

Can you share what your parameters look like for this operation?

The following snippet is what i am using,

let aws = require('aws-sdk');
aws.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'});

let client = new aws.CloudDirectory();
client.listIndex(
    {
        DirectoryArn: 'arn:aws:clouddirectory:us-east-1:<acc_no>:directory/AZE76Gb8lUQNvHWL3bqpO4k', 
        IndexReference: { 
            Selector: '$AQGRO-hm_JVEDbx1i926qTuJ05koCRypQ7yKUugJ1H-abg' 
        }
    }, 
    function(err, data) { 
        if (err) { 
            console.log(err); 
        } else { 
            console.log(data) 
        }
    }
);

@k3karthic
I was able to reproduce the issue and have identified it as a bug. The error is occurring because CloudDirectory is sending back BinaryValue: null when an object is a non-binary type, and the SDK attempts to base64 decode the null value. I'm researching the best way to fix this in the SDK without impacting other services.

@k3karthic
I have just merged in a fix for this issue. Thanks for reporting it! The next version of the SDK will include the fix, or you can install the SDK from the GitHub repo directly.
