[Improvement]: Improve error message: configuring Terraform AWS Provider: failed to get shared config profile, private-cloud-seeknow

[EugenKon]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.6.4
on darwin_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v4.67.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/external v2.3.1
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/local v2.3.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/null v3.2.1

Terraform Configuration Files

$ cat provider.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 4.0"
    }

    local = {
      source = "hashicorp/local"
      version = "2.3.0"
    }

    # Needed to upgrade old Portal projects
    null = {
      source = "hashicorp/null"
      version = "~> 3.2"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = var.aws_region
  default_tags {
    tags = {
      Project = var.project_name
    }
  }
}

Debug Output

data.external.get_audit_output: Reading...
data.external.get_audit_output: Read complete after 1s [id=-]

Changes to Outputs:
  + iguides_bucket_name = "-portal-iguides"
  + project_name        = ""
  + user_bucket_name    = "-portal-users"

You can apply this plan to save these new output values to the Terraform state, without
changing any real infrastructure.

Not sure how @EugenKon got a stack reference. Even with TF_LOG=trace, I get only this (within a GitHub Actions step):
