Could not refresh secret manager Got error Cannot begin a subsegment without an initialized segment when password changed

[totten25]

I'm getting an error --> Cannot begin a subsegment without an initialized segment

when a password has been changed and secret manager lib detects an error after requesting a new connection,

and it calls SecretCacheItem.executeRefresh

protected DescribeSecretResult executeRefresh() {
        DescribeSecretResult describeSecretResult = client.describeSecret(
                updateUserAgent(new DescribeSecretRequest()
                        .withSecretId(this.secretId)));
        long ttl = this.config.getCacheItemTTL();
        this.nextRefreshTime = System.currentTimeMillis() +
                ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextLong(ttl / 2,ttl + 1) ;
        return describeSecretResult;
    }

I configure AWS X-ray and it's failed when getting TraceEntity

public Subsegment beginSubsegment(String name) {
        Entity traceEntity = this.getTraceEntity();
        if (traceEntity == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Cannot begin a subsegment without an initialized segment");
        } else {
            return super.beginSubsegment(name);
        }
    }

To Reproduce
You may try to add AWS X-ray into Java Project and try to execute refreshNow method

Expected behavior
Secret Manager should be refreshed with new value from Secret Manager

Environment:
OS: Windows 10
Java: 1.8
AWS SDK: 1.11.446

Thank you for opening this issue -- the AWS X-Ray SDK is not bundled with the AWS Secrets Manager JDBC driver and the Cannot begin a subsegment without an initialized segment error message originates from the AWS X-Ray SDK. Can you share more information about how the AWS X-Ray SDK is being configured and initialized on your application? Documentation on how to configure the AWS X-Ray SDK can be found here and on the AWS X-Ray SDK GitHub here.

If there is another error message related to the Secrets Manager JDBC driver, please share that here as well.
