Reproduction Steps

import {

} from '@aws-sdk/client-medialive';

const mediaLiveClient = new MediaLiveClient({
    region: 'region' // <= replace here with a aws region
});
const input = {
    ChannelId: 'id' // <= replace here with a channel ID
};
// Throws an exception
await mediaLiveClient.send(new DescribeChannelCommand(input));

Observed Behavior

  '$metadata': { attempts: 1, totalRetryDelay: 0 }

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior is to receive the description of the channel.

Possible Solution

As a workaround we can use the ListChannelsCommand and filter the result manually with the channel id. The ListChannelsCommand is not affected by the issue.

+1 when can we expect this to be fixed?

[zshzbh]

It seems that issue is in the response of of DescribeChannelCommandOutput -

export interface ChannelEngineVersionResponse {
  /**
   * The UTC time when the version expires.
   * @public
   */
  ExpirationDate?: Date | undefined;

  /**
   * The build identifier for this version of the channel version.
   * @public
   */
  Version?: string | undefined;
}

The ExpirationDate is expecting a Date in JS. This means the AWS MediaLive service is returning a date value that the SDK is unable to parse as a valid RFC-3339 date.

I have brought this issue to the team and will keep you posted.

Thanks!

Could you please provide the raw response and request id so we can dive deep into this issue?

 const command = new DescribeChannelCommand({
            ChannelId: channelId
        });

        const response = await client.send(command);
        
        // Log the raw response to see the actual date format
        console.log('Raw response:', JSON.stringify(response?.Channel?.ChannelEngineVersion, null, 2));

I attempted to print the response, but the send command throws an exception. The issue seems to occur only when the channel's state is set to RUNNING. I also tried using the command with AWS CLI to retrieve the response, but the Channel JSON object is not present in the output

+1, only happens when the channel is running. Did a test with polling while starting and stopping the channel:

> node index.mjs
Poll for state
State:IDLE
Poll for state
State:STARTING
Poll for state
State:STARTING
Poll for state
State:STARTING
Poll for state
Error: Invalid RFC-3339 date-time value
  Deserialization error: to see the raw response, inspect the hidden field {error}.$response on this object.
Poll for state
Error: Invalid RFC-3339 date-time value
  Deserialization error: to see the raw response, inspect the hidden field {error}.$response on this object.
Poll for state
State:STOPPING
Poll for state
State:STOPPING
Poll for state
State:STOPPING
Poll for state
State:IDLE
Poll for state
State:IDLE

I'll see if I can get the response body.

[torrottum]

I think this is the relevant part of the response body?
