Expected params.AuthParameters['USERNAME'] to be a string

My AWS user pool is setup to use only phone numbers as the username. When I try to make an API call with this test cli I get the following message:

Authenticating with User Pool Expected params.AuthParameters[‘USERNAME’] to be a string

I tried wrapping the username parameter in both single and double quotes. Same result.

npx aws-api-gateway-cli-test \
--username='15555555555' \
--password='Passw0rd!' \
...

Looks like yargs will take the input here for username, but the problem for phone numbers is that they’re probably getting converted to numbers.

Every argument that looks like a number (!isNaN(Number(arg))) is converted to one. This way you can just net.createConnection(argv.port) and you can add numbers out of argv with + without having that mean concatenation, which is super frustrating. Reference

PoC

node
> !isNaN(Number('+013333333333'))
true

Looks like the username argument will need to be coerced to a string.

Fixed this in 1.3.1.
