Cannot read credentials from /.aws/credentials on local machine

I have created a credentials.txt at ~/.aws/credentials.txt I have added the credentials at ~/.aws/credentials.txt as

[bogdan-ses-user]
aws_access_key_id = ***
aws_secret_access_key = ***

Local Node JS server

const express = require('express');
const mysql = require('mysql');
const app = express();

// import entire SDK
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');



    var credentials = new AWS.SharedIniFileCredentials({profile: 'bogdan-ses-user'});
    AWS.config.credentials = credentials;
    console.log(credentials);



    AWS.config.getCredentials(function(err) {
        if (err) {
            console.log("err comes hereeee");
            console.log(err.stack);
        }else{

            console.log('Access key: ', AWS.config.getCredentials.accessKeyId);
        }
    });

app.listen(3000, function(){
    console.log('server has started');

});

Console Print out ERROR*

As the documentation says:

filename (String) — default: '~/.aws/credentials' or defined by AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE process env var — the filename to use when loading credentials.

So you can either:

  • Rename your file ~/.aws/credentials.txt to ~/.aws/credentials
  • Set the environment variable AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=~/.aws/credentials
  • Use the filename option:
var credentials = new AWS.SharedIniFileCredentials({filename: '~/.aws/credentials.txt', profile: 'bogdan-ses-user'});
