CDK Deploy: Environment agnostic deploy ingores CLI region option

[rupe120]

Describe the bug

I am trying to deploy an environment-agnostic stack to more than one region, using the command line --region option, but it will only deploy to the region specified in the AWS Config.

Expected Behavior

The --region CLI option should override any other defaults

Current Behavior

The --region option is ignored when the profile specifies a default region.

Reproduction Steps

cdk init --language typescript

Ensure the region is set to something other than us-west-2 for the profile you are going to use.

cdk deploy --profile test-profile --region us-west-2

If you look at cdk deploy help, it does support --profile but does not support --region.

so in your case, instead of this

cdk deploy --profile test-profile --region us-west-2

I guess you will need to use this instead

AWS_REGION=us-west-2 cdk deploy --profile test-profile

Make sure to turn on -v to verify the CDK_DEFAULT_REGION env in the debug log:

[16:45:38] env: {
  CDK_DEFAULT_REGION: 'us-west-2,
  CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx',
  CDK_OUTDIR: 'cdk.out',
  CDK_CLI_ASM_VERSION: '35.0.0',
  CDK_CLI_VERSION: '2.116.1'
}
