endpointExportName not using correct key in the outputs file

[nirgluzman]

Describe the bug

endpointExportName should assign the export name for the CfnOutput containing the API endpoint.
It looks like that it does not put the value under the correct name in the outputs file, but rather add some random characters.

Here is a link to documentation:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_apigateway.RestApi.html

I'm using this code in ApiStack:

    const api = new RestApi(this, 'Api', {
      endpointExportName: 'ApiEndpoint', 
    });

Expected Behavior

"ApiStack": {
    "ApiEndpoint": "https://XXXXXX.amazonaws.com/prod/"
  }

Current Behavior

"ApiStack": {
    "ApiEndpoint4F160690": "https://XXXXXX.amazonaws.com/prod/"
  }

Reproduction Steps

Run cdk deploy --all --outputs-file outputs.json and view the outputs.json file.

Other information

I would like to avoid using CfnOutput as it seems that endpointExportName property is doing the same.
Could it be that I am missing some configurations in the RestApi initializer?

The Output name and Export name are different. You can describe the stack and find out the real export name:

% aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name demo --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[0]'
{
    "OutputKey": "ApiEndpoint4F160690",
    "OutputValue": "https://qz8j5odwv3.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/",
    "ExportName": "MyApiEndpoint"
}

@pahud , many thanks for the prompt reply.

I confirm that I have these configs also on my side.

1. What is the purpose of ExportName?
2. It seems that OutputKey is the value exported to outputs.json file. How do I change the value of OutputKey in this case?
