  If the current behavior is a :beetle:bug:beetle:: Please provide the steps to reproduce

When you specify profile in cdk.json, it's ignored.

• What is the expected behavior (or behavior of feature suggested)?

profile key is respected.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior or adding this feature?

Having reasonable defaults for a project. The ultimate ideal would be per-env credentials but we're using multiple cdk.json files (one per account) as a stopgap.

• Please tell us about your environment:

  • CDK CLI Version: 0.35.0
  • Module Version: 0.35.0
  • OS: macOS Mojave
  • Language: TypeScript

I've experienced the same issue. Following this I was under the impression that adding profile to cdk.json should work, but it doesn't.

If that worked, for me that would be a major improvement since I have multiple profiles I currently have to specify --profile option with every cli command.

@prencher @boricic - I don't believe we support all the switches in cdk.json and we should. tagging this as a bug

Hi, thanks for solving it!

Is it a part of 1.36.1? The ckd.json->profile still doesn't seem to affect my npx cdk calls

it will be included in the next release (likely 1.37.0)
