read region from AWS_REGION and if not present set a default

[jamengual]

Hi.

I love the took and I have been using it for some time but every so often I forget to set the region and then I get not instances found error, it will be cool if instead of defaulting to eu-west it actually read the environment variable AWS_REGION first or the profile configured region.

Thanks.

Have you tried with AWS_DEFAULT_REGION envvar ?

See : https://github.com/claranet/sshm/blob/master/main.go#L64

I use aws-vault and my env looks like :

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2
AWS_REGION=us-east-2

and I have to specify the region otherwise it does not find the instances

OK, I will take a look but I don't use the tool anymore (I'm not working anymore at Claranet)

@jamengual It should fix your issue : https://github.com/claranet/sshm/releases/tag/1.2.1

[jamengual]

now it works from aws-vault but without it it does not and now I wonder should this be reading from my ~/.aws/config profiles ?

since in my profiles I specify a region this should read those ?

[Issif]

It never used the region parameter in .aws/config I guess I should add it. Is that urgent for you or is it okay with aws-vault for now?

[jamengual]

is not urgent but I think it is expected standard.
a coworker run into that problem.

@jamengual 1.2.2 it should be OK 😉

[jamengual]

works perfectly, thanks again.
