Description
This was originally brought up in https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-python/issues/334 but @heitorlessa mentioned this is could be an upstream issue here and asked me to file an Issue. The details can be found in the original issue as well but we have the following function in our lambda code:
```python
def get_secrets(secret_name) -> dict:
try:
get_secret_value_response = client.get_secret_value(SecretId=secret_name)
except ClientError as e:
if e.response["Error"]["Code"] == "ResourceNotFoundException":
if "AWSCURRENT" in e.response["Message"]:
logger.warning(f"{secret_name} exists but is empty.")
else:
logger.warning(
f"The requested secret {secret_name} was not found. Create the secret first."
)
return {}
else:
raise RuntimeError("Couldn't retrieve secrets")
else:
return json.loads(get_secret_value_response["SecretString"])
```
And in our case we continue processing if the secret exists but a value hasn't been set. In this case we're catching and handling the exception, continuing execution. However, the SDK will still flag this as an exception in X-Ray which will show the service as erroring when it actually isn't.
The relevant line is at https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-python/blob/508f929fee495710656c0c1478f8873a2e9e5666/aws_xray_sdk/core/models/subsegment.py#L70-L78
Is there a way to handle this use case?
