It would be nice, if you can raise the priority to merge this. As it is causing problems on our production system.

Thank you!

I was waiting for someone to CR the the PR I put in but I guess I will just merge and release it which should fix the problem.

To answer my own question: Travis is configured to run chefspec as part of the Delivery pipeline (i.e. https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/aws/blob/576ddd4b/.delivery/project.toml#L1 references https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chef-cookbooks/community_cookbook_tools/master/delivery/project.toml, during the unit phase), but the aws cookbook has no test cases defined. I will follow up on https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/aws/pull/373 to see if we can at least test the “all recipes compile” case.

so it looks like return_keys 'my_values' was removed and if I change to return_key 'my_values' I will look into this tomorrow but it looks like it was likely related to: https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/aws/pull/364 I need to dig through and see if it was an intentional breaking change or a bug. I think its more likely a bug.
