Load aws credentials stored in ~/.aws/ using my own profile name

[Gujarats]

Expected Behavior

I'm trying to load aws credentials from default config file ~/.aws/. using this code snippet :

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "${internal_s3_url}"
            authentication {
                awsIm(AwsImAuthentication)
            }
        }
    }

And here is my credential looks like :

[test-gujarat]
aws_access_key_id =~~
aws_secret_access_key =~~
[gujarat.santana]
aws_access_key_id =~~
aws_secret_access_key = ~~

I know if I changed the profile gujarat.santana to default it will load the access_key and secret_key. Now Is it possible not to use default profile and using my own name profile? if Possible, how do I do that ?

Current Behavior

Currently I got this error Unable to load AWS credentials from any provider in the chain after running gradle build.

Context

I need to use another profile name instead of using default profile since I have many access_key and secret_key in my local. The reason why I don't want to use default is because I would like to make my default profile for my admin user in my aws account and use another profile to for another access and permission.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

If you have your S3 bucket in aws and IAM user in aws which has access_key and secret_key then put it in your ~/.aws/credentials. and load the profile name with your own name not default profile.

Well, AFAIK the aws configuration file is read by AWS-SDK and there's no special setting on Gradle's side to specify a "user". Currently a workaround could be Environment variables/Java system properties (see here) or even parse the ~/.aws/credentials youself.

Okay I see now, thanks for the info. I would to see this new feature can be easily called like for example

repositories {
        maven {
            url "${internal_s3_url}"
            authentication {
                awsIm(YOUR_PROFILE_NAME)
            }
        }
    }

Or maybe you have another suggestion since I don't really like to see the previous one like awsIm(AwsImAuthentication) because I don't see it really matter to call the AwsImAuthentication inside awsIm(). But still it is a suggestion from me.

And about what you said configuration file is read by AWS-SDK Is it possible if their SDK is not currently supported to call specify a "user" ?

Any updates on this? Very interested in described functionality.

One solution is to set the AWS_PROFILE environment variable as described in the docs at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-envvars.html

export AWS_PROFILE=test-gujarat
./gradlew build

or inline
AWS_PROFILE=test-gujarat ./gradlew build

or as an alias in ~/.bashrc or similar, where you can also add some logic based on a config file
alias gw='AWS_PROFILE=test-gujarat ./gradlew'
