AWS CLI - All commands return Unknown output type: [None]

All of my aws-cli commands returned

Unknown output type: [None]

I checked my configuration

$ aws configure

appeared normal but i was unable to edit my 'Default output format'

I ran my aws-cli command with --debug and saw

MainThread - awscli.clidriver - DEBUG - Exception caught in main()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/awscli/clidriver.py", line 208, in main

Apparently, the .aws/config must say lower case json, not uppercase JSON, i.e.

[default]
region = eu-west-2
output = json

This definitely works.

using AWS Cloud Shell it was giving me the same error when I used us-east-1 and after changing the region to us-east-2 the problem is solved. when I try it on my desktop by changing the region to us-east-2 with JSON option still the error happens. try changing regions with Cloud Shell availability.

Go to .aws folder and cat the config and credentials files just comment out the line containing output = NONE. enter image description here

Figure out your ARN and your role and set up everything (region and clustername) as in the below command in the respective place.

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name eks-cluster-name --region aws-region --role-arn arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:role/testrole

Also, read on the documentation here below.

Run the command "aws configure", then check if the word "JSON" in "Default output format [JSON]:" is in upper case or lower case? If it's in upper case then running any aws command shows "Unknown ouput type : JSON".
Or alternately open the file C:\Users\<user>\.aws\config file and check the entry "output = json". If the word json is in upper case then running any aws command shows "Unknown ouput type : JSON".

Solution:
Replace the upper case JSON with lower case json.

$aws configure
press Enters
see the "Default output format [None]:" 
input one of "json, text or table "(all in lower case) 
after that rerun your command.

My ~/.aws/config was somehow in a bad state, there were multiple declarations for the same setting under a single role header. Editing the file manually fixed my issue.

The info under Configuration Settings and Precedence https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html led me to the right place.
