SimpleDB gem issues with aws-sdk-core >= 3.192.0

[dsablic]

Describe the bug

Aws::SimpleDB::Client#put_attributes fails with No attributes error
Aws::SimpleDB::Client#batch_put_attributes fails with No items specified error

Expected Behavior

Should not raise an error on a valid API call.

Current Behavior

Raises errors with the methods listed above and probably some others too.

Reproduction Steps

The following code fails with No attributes:

client = Aws::SimpleDB::Client.new
client.create_domain(domain_name: 'test domain')
client.put_attributes(domain_name: 'test_domain', item_name: 'test_item', attributes: [{ name: 'attr1', value: 'value1', replace: true }])

Possible Solution

There seems to be an issue with the parameter serialization in that some parameter names are pluralized where they shouldn't be. Here's a failing batch_put_attributes call wire trace:

Thanks for opening an issue. In this version of core, we made many fixes to all of the protocol building and parsing logic, and aligned them to proper specification.

Simple DB is extremely deprecated and we do not publish any new versions of that gem. Additionally, it would not make sense to revert any fixes we made to core.

My recommendation would be to pin your core version to the last working version. I would also recommend moving to Dynamo DB!
