SSM: StringParameter.ValueFromLookup returns old value

[werebear73-tritelph]

Describe the bug

The function StringParameter.ValueFromLookup doesn't return the newest value of the of the SSM Parameter.

Expected Behavior

That the StringParameter.ValueFromLookup function returns the most recent value of the SSM Parameter.

Current Behavior

StringParameter.ValueFromLookup returns an older value even though you even destroy the Parameter and recreate it. I even tried deleting the cdk.out folder but the original value of the Parameter is returned.

Reproduction Steps

Create a StringParameter in a separate stack and project. Read the value in a different Project. Go back to the original project and destroy the stack and recreate. Return to the second project and the value with still be the original value.

This is because the value was cached in your cdk.context.json and will not return the newer value unless the cache is reset.

For example if I lookup the foo parameter for the first time

const stringValue = ssm.StringParameter.valueFromLookup(this, 'foo');

and check cdk.context.json I will see the cache with the key "ssm:account=ACCOUNT_ID:parameterName=foo:region=us-east-1"

I can reset it with

npx cdk context --reset ssm:account=ACCOUNT_ID:parameterName=foo:region=us-east-1

See the document about cdk context for more details

Let me know if it works for you.
