Cloudformation - DescribeStacksErrorKind only contains "Unhandled"

[scottgerring]

Describe the bug

The DescribeStacksErrorKind only contains the value "Unhandled", and it is necessary to match against the error string to decide how to respond to an error. For instance, a quick way to check if a stack exists is to use this call to list, filtering for the given stack name, and then checking that the error returned indicates the stack doesn't exist.

Expected Behavior

The known responses to be parsed out and exposed as different kinds to avoid the caller having to do this themselves (like the other APIs?)

Current Behavior

Code like this:

return if e.to_string().contains("does not exist") {
                Ok(false)
            } else {
                // This is less great
               ...
            }

Reproduction Steps

call DescribeStacks and try and parse the response

Possible Solution

Parse the response out to the different types within the SDK

Thanks @scottgerring for creating this issue. This is a problem with the modeling of the cloudformation api. Because this effects all of the sdks I have opened a new github issue here to track this and I will be closing this issue.
