$AWS_PROFILE/$AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE env vars not being honored about terragrunt

[brikis98]

Out of curiosity, what happens if you run terraform plan directly with the exact same env vars and profile?

@brikis98 yes, it worked fine at the time (apologies - I should have mentioned).

This may be environmental (to me) as I have now managed to make it work by creating a completely new OS X profile. I'll mark this as closed again but if anybody else sees the issue in future please do raise a new issue.

For reference, https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/index.html mentions the following:

Shared Credentials file

You can use an AWS credentials file to specify your credentials. The default location is $HOME/.aws/credentials on Linux and OS X, or "%USERPROFILE%.aws\credentials" for Windows users. If we fail to detect credentials inline, or in the environment, Terraform will check this location. You can optionally specify a different location in the configuration by providing the shared_credentials_file attribute, or in the environment with the AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE variable. This method also supports a profile configuration and matching AWS_PROFILE environment variable:

Usage:

provider "aws" {
region = "us-west-2"
shared_credentials_file = "/Users/tf_user/.aws/creds"
profile = "customprofile"
}
