dynamodb update call failing with non descriptive error

What am i doing wrong here? The following Update call is failing:

await dynamoClient.send(
    new UpdateItemCommand({
      TableName: IMAGE_TABLE_NAME,
      Key: {
        path: key,
      },
      UpdateExpression: "set #url = :url, #size = :size, #etag = :etag",
      ExpressionAttributeValues: {
        ":url": { S: publicUrl },
        ":size": { S: size },
        ":etag": { S: eTag },
      },
      ExpressionAttributeNames: {
        "#url": "url",
        "#size": "size",
        "#etag": "etag",
      },
      ReturnValues: "UPDATED_NEW",
    })
);

with the following message:

]

}

The values are there:

console.log("key, eTag, size, publicUrl:");
console.log(key, eTag, size, publicUrl);

I believe that here:

new UpdateItemCommand({
      TableName: IMAGE_TABLE_NAME,
      Key: {
        path: key,
      },

the value passed to path needs to be an AttributeValue, e.g. { S: key }, similar to what you've done in ExpressionAttributeValues.

new UpdateItemCommand({
      TableName: IMAGE_TABLE_NAME,
      Key: {
        path: { S: key },
      },
