Unclear how to "import" existing accounts.

[moltar]

I have tried to add an existing account to nestedOU.

All of the values were copy-pasted from the console.

          {
            name: 'name',
            existingAccountId: '123',
            email: '[email protected]',
          },

Deployment exploded with:

Parameter name: can't be prefixed with "ssm" (case-insensitive). If formed as a path, it can consist of sub-paths divided by slash symbol; each sub-path can be formed as a mix of letters, numbers and the following 3 symbols .-_ (Service: AmazonSSM; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ValidationException; Request ID: abb75351-1797-4236-b34d-4539a829ca5b; Proxy: null)

Which doesn't even make sense, as the parameter is not using ssm in the name. But maybe it's a generic error?

Account name does have a space in it. But it looks like an ID is used for existing accounts anyways. So I don't see a problem there.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Btw, what also might have caused it is the fact that I renamed the OU in the same deployment.

Tried using the existingAccountId as well and got the following error when running a cdk diff :

1-SDLC-organization % npm run diff

> [email protected] diff
> cdk --profile main-admin diff

The error disappears when I remove it from sdlc-organization.ts.

Im getting the same error exact error when trying to add existing accounts using existingAccountId @npvisual. For me it seems to be only throwing the error on AccountType.STAGE type.
