Directory and leaf node

[qguang]

Thanks for this utility.

There is a small issue which I guess the use case itself is not really correct.

The current code doesn't handle the scenario below well. if one uses "directory" to store value. it will cause issue.
/test-path/rds/database
/test-path/rds/database/size
/test-path/rds/database/filePath

Hi @qguang, thanks for raising this. Can you provide some more detail about the issue you're having - it'd be handy to compare what you have in SSM and what you expect to have returned by the library. Thanks 😊

Hi @christippett

I pasted code snippet which can be used to reproduce the "issue". Again, I don't think it is a genuine problem. However, it might require some improvement to handle the exception.

`
from pprint import pprint
import boto3
from ssm_parameter_store import EC2ParameterStore

ssm_client = boto3.client("ssm")

ssm_sample = dict(
[
('/test-root-dir/database/movie_db','movie_db_internal'),
('/test-root-dir/database/movie_db/user1','app_user'),
('/test-root-dir/database/movie_db/password','we keep pwd in secret manager'),
]
)

for key, value in ssm_sample.items():
new_parameter = ssm_client.put_parameter(
Name = key,
Value = value,
Description = 'Test SSM', Type = 'String', Overwrite=True,Tier='Standard',DataType='text'
)

store = EC2ParameterStore()

parameters = store.get_parameters_with_hierarchy('/test-root-dir/database/', strip_path=True)

parameters = store.get_parameters_with_hierarchy('/test-root-dir/database/', strip_path=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

ssm_keys = list(ssm_sample.keys())
response = ssm_client.delete_parameters(
Names = ssm_keys
)
