SQS ReceiveMessageInput.AttributeNames should be of type MessageSystemAttributeName

[denniscfeng]

Describe the bug

In the SQS API, the ReceiveMessageInput field AttributeNames should be of type []types.MessageSystemAttributeName instead of []types.QueueAttributeName

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/blob/main/service/sqs/api_op_ReceiveMessage.go#L96

The documentation indicates the possible fields that can be listed in this argument include ApproximateFirstReceiveTimestamp, ApproximateReceiveCount, SentTimestamp, etc. But those are contained in the type MessageSystemAttributeName, whereas the QueueAttributeName type contains attributes pertaining to the whole queue rather than metadata pertaining to individual messages (MaximumMessageSize, MessageRetentionPeriod, QueueArn).

This prevents us from requesting specific message attributes to be returned with each SQS message.

Expected Behavior

ReceiveMessage should be able to accept a ReceiveMessageInput that includes a list of Attributes that we want to receive with each message. These attributes have been enumerated in types.MessageSystemAttributeName.

Desired:

...
client.ReceiveMessage(ctx, &sqs.ReceiveMessageInput{
		QueueUrl:              aws.String(endpoint),
		WaitTimeSeconds:       5,
		VisibilityTimeout:     10,
		MaxNumberOfMessages:   10,
		MessageAttributeNames: []string{"All"},
		AttributeNames:        []types.MessageSystemAttributeName{types.MessageSystemAttributeNameApproximateReceiveCount},
	})
...

Current Behavior

Cannot use '[]types.MessageSystemAttributeName{types.MessageSystemAttributeNameApproximateReceiveCount}' (type []types.MessageSystemAttributeName) as type []types.QueueAttributeName

Reproduction Steps

package test

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/sqs"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/sqs/types"
	"testing"
)

func Test(t *testing.T)  {
	cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(
		context.TODO(),
		config.WithRegion("us-west2"),
	)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fail()
	}
	
	sqsClient := sqs.NewFromConfig(cfg)
	_, _ = sqsClient.ReceiveMessage(context.TODO(), &sqs.ReceiveMessageInput{
		QueueUrl:              aws.String("queue url"),
		WaitTimeSeconds:       5,
		VisibilityTimeout:     10,
		MaxNumberOfMessages:   10,
		MessageAttributeNames: []string{"All"},
		AttributeNames:        []types.MessageSystemAttributeName{types.MessageSystemAttributeNameApproximateReceiveCount},
	})
}

Possible Solution

Change the type of ReceiveMessageInput.AttributeNames from []types.QueueAttributeName to []types.MessageSystemAttributeName

This does indeed look like a model issue (the type is correct but it should include all possible values in the QueueAttributeName enum in the model, which overlaps with MessageSystemAttrributeName) but you can workaround it for now by using the raw string values:

_, _ = sqsClient.ReceiveMessage(context.TODO(), &sqs.ReceiveMessageInput{
    ...
    AttributeNames: []types.QueueAttributeName{ types.QueueAttributeName("ApproximateReceiveCount") },
})

This seems like a really simple bug to fix...any plans on getting it fixed in a release at some point soon?
