Missing credentials in config, if using aws_config_file, set aws_sdk_load_config=1

by

If you are getting the “missing credentials in config” error when using the AWS SDK for any service, it means that the AWS SDK is unable to find the necessary credentials to authenticate with AWS. To resolve this issue when using the AWS SDK, you can set the “aws_sdk_load_config” option to 1 if you are using an AWS config file.

The AWS config file is a file that contains your AWS credentials and other configuration settings. By default, the AWS SDK looks for this file in the “~/.aws” directory on Linux and macOS, and in the “C:\Users\USERNAME\.aws” directory on Windows. If the AWS config file is present but not being loaded by the SDK, you can set the “aws_sdk_load_config” option to 1.

Here is an example on how to set the “aws_sdk_load_config” option in different SDKs:

  • AWS SDK for Java:

    SDKGlobalConfiguration.AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG = true;
  • AWS SDK for .NET:

    AWSConfigs.AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG = true;
  • AWS SDK for Python (Boto3):

    import boto3
boto3.setup_default_session(profile_name='your-profile-name')
  • AWS SDK for JavaScript (Node.js):

    AWS.config.loadFromPath('~/.aws/config');

By setting the “aws_sdk_load_config” option to 1, the AWS SDK will try to load the AWS config file and use the credentials provided in it. Make sure the AWS config file is properly configured with your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
