rds: Cannot invoke software.amazon.rds.common.logging.RequestLogger.log because requestLogger is null

[daviddphillips]

Describe the bug

I am adding a Parameter Group to a DatabaseCluster, and when applying the update via CloudFormation, it returns this error consistently:

XXXX | 11:27:10 AM | CREATE_FAILED | AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup | XXXX-paramGroup (XXXparamGroup0D48FB1E) Resource handler returned message: "Cannot invoke "software.amazon.rds.common.logging.RequestLogger.log(String, String)" because "this.requestLogger" is null" (RequestToken: 0df7d926-3387-b835-eb02-afc2e4d412a6, HandlerErrorCode: InternalFailure)

Hi,

Can you share your Reproduction Steps with code snippets?

I previously had a DatabaseCluster deployed, and am now adding this ParameterGroup:

IClusterEngine e = DatabaseClusterEngine.auroraMysql(AuroraMysqlClusterEngineProps.builder()
                .version(AuroraMysqlEngineVersion.VER_3_08_0)
                .build());

        var pg = ParameterGroup.Builder.create(this, n("paramGroup"))
                .name(n("ParamGroup"))
                .parameters(Map.of("require_seccure_transport", "ON"))
                .engine(e)
                .build();

DatabaseCluster.Builder.create(this, "dbcluster"))
                .parameterGroup(pg)
                .engine(e)
                 ....

I saw the mistake when I pasted it here... the name of the parameter is incorrect:
require_seccure_transport
