Amplify-cli: amplify init adding profile with quotes

[idkjs]

Describe the bug
When you run amplify init the cli is apparently adding to ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials with quotes, like so:

• ~/.aws/config

["profile amplify-notes-eu-west-1 "]
region=eu-west-1

• ~/.aws/credentials

["amplify-notes-eu-west-1 "]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAJ3KFAKEF7ZH6BNQ
aws_secret_access_key=m+somekey+GJOxVtSnA07/lvHqcd

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run amplify init, accept all defaults.
   output

• vim into ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials remove quotes, rerun and works.
  Expected behavior
  amplify configure should place the region and credentials into ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials in proper format without quotes.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
It looks like the profile name had an empty space at the end and that caused it to be save the profile name with quotes

@idkjs Hopefully those are fake access and secret access keys? Otherwise you need to disable that keypair and rotate your credentials.

Cool. Free free to close whenever. @jkeys-ecg-nmsu keys are bad. Thanks.
