Looks like there may be a bug in our docs. Does this work if you remove the `/` in the name? perhaps try `"mainWorkspaces_directoryDirectory" instead?

I've filed an issue to track getting this fixed, thanks for reporting! <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/5123>

The error occurs with `directoryservice.Directory`  rather than the `workspaces.Directory`  so it's something to do with `mainDirectory` and `main-dir`

failure.py

<@UQ8K13T7X> Not entirely sure it's related to the `/` As it still happens with this snippet

This is working for me:

```main_directory = aws.directoryservice.Directory("mainDirectory",
                                                password="#S1ncerely",
                                                size="Small",
                                                name='main.dir',
                                                vpc_settings={
                                                    "subnet_ids": [
                                                        private_a.id,
                                                        private_b.id,
                                                    ],
                                                    "vpc_id": main_vpc.id,
                                                })```

Must be an issue with the validation. I will update the issue.

transfered the issue to pulumi-aws and updated it with my observations. Feel free to drop notes in there: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/1061>
