The provided name is returning hexadecimal representation instead of string example: xxxx-job:0x14005b345e4.

Root Cause

terraformer/providers/aws/batch.go

Line 76 in 069060c

jobDefinitionName := StringValue(jobDefinition.JobDefinitionName) + ":" + fmt.Sprint(jobDefinition.Revision)

• jobDefinition.Revision is not a simple string or integer. In the AWS SDK for Go, the Revision field within the JobDefinition struct is likely a pointer to an integer (*int64) or another complex type. It's not just a simple value.

• fmt.Sprint()'s default behavior for pointers. When you use fmt.Sprint() on a pointer or a struct that doesn't have a specific String() method defined, Go's default behavior is to print the memory address where that object is stored. Memory addresses are conventionally represented in hexadecimal format.

Fix

// Incorrect (what's currently there)
jobDefinitionName := StringValue(jobDefinition.JobDefinitionName) + ":" + fmt.Sprint(jobDefinition.Revision)

// Corrected version
jobDefinitionName := StringValue(jobDefinition.JobDefinitionName) + ":" + fmt.Sprint(*jobDefinition.Revision) // Note the *
