Documentation Improvement: inconsistency Tracer.ts example code - Tracer Website Docs

[niko-achilles]

Expected Behaviour

consistency of generated Docs for Tracer -> Lambda Handler -> Manual
Links:

• https://awslabs.github.io/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/latest/core/tracer/#lambda-handler
• https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/blob/main/docs/core/tracer.md

with

Tracer.ts code example snippet in IDE editor
Link: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/blob/main/packages/tracer/src/Tracer.ts#L80

Current Behaviour

Using my IDE and reading the documentation on how to use the Tracer i read
that i should additionally import { Segment } from 'aws-xray-sdk-core';
See line: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/blob/main/packages/tracer/src/Tracer.ts#L80

This is inconsistent with the docs generated on the Website:
See Tracer -> Lambda Handler -> Manual

Links:

• https://awslabs.github.io/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/latest/core/tracer/#lambda-handler
• https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript/blob/main/docs/core/tracer.md

Hi, thank you for opening this issue. We'll be checking the documentation and the docstrings to make sure they match and any update will land in the next release.

However this is not an issue that affects runtime behavior so I've removed the bug categorization and marked this as documentation improvement.

[niko-achilles]

ok, i saw that you will look at things for maintenance and found the time to write about this issue, so that the website docs and code example with IDE support is the same.

I have reviewed the examples and opened a PR #1144, if you check the PR and notice any other issue I have missed please leave a comment in the PR.

I'll report back once it's merged.
