[ypant]

Having some issue with aws cli.

[default]
aws_access_key_id = AKIAJJUY63AE4XXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key= ULLhYEWIjYownAbzvd9bMXXXXgzlEs

$ aws

botocore.exceptions.ProfileNotFound: The config profile () could not be found

Tried adding an empty profile in config:
[profile]
region=us-west-2
output=json

But that did not help resolve the issue. Even the command like aws --version emits the same output as above.

Able to debug the issue and find a solution. For my particular case, some how an environment variable "AWS_PROFILE" was added accidently/automatically. After unsetting that variable, I was able to execute the aws command.

This was also my issue.
