AWS_PROFILE not working with aws cli


I have the aws cli installed on my macbook. I updated the version last week and since then it seems like it ignores the AWS_PROFILE environment variable? Has anyone encountered this? I have to add --profile to every statement now to make it go towards the profile I prefer.

Does anyone know what could be wrong or how I should troubleshoot it?


Solution

  • I was only setting the AWS_PROFILE as a shell variable and not as a environment variable. After setting is as an environment variable everything worked as expected.
