Describe your issue?

If I run integration tests, i get the following error:

I know how to set the account / region and so on for my app deployments, but don't know how to do this for integration tests if I want to run them on my machine in my aws account with access key id / and secret access key...

How is your environment configured? Do you have a ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials, are you using environment variables, etc?

As the linked documentation states, we typically just run yarn integ or yarn integ $testname to run the integ tests. This resolves the current AWS credentials the same way as the cdk CLI does (in fact, via the same code paths).

Hi, I am using ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials, nothing else. The credentials work with cdk, but the problem isn't missing credentials, it's that cdk does not know the account and region I want to use...

Hey @markussiebert,

Check out #1656, that thread contains some helpful information for various CLI authentication issues.

In particular, this comment mentions integration tests #1656 (comment), and the next comment is a followup with the solution. Maybe you've run into the same issue?
