Hey @anhnh131 ,

Sorry this this experience, I confirm that I can reproduce this issue.

SDK version : @aws-sdk/client-iam 3.621.0

Code I have :

import {IAMClient,GetAccountAuthorizationDetailsCommand} from '@aws-sdk/client-iam'
async function iam_summary_test() {
    const iam = new IAMClient()
    const command = new GetAccountAuthorizationDetailsCommand({});
    const data = await iam.send(command);
    console.log(data);
    return data
    }

    await iam_summary_test()

Error message:

/Users/zshzbh/Desktop/newProj/node_modules/@smithy/config-resolver/dist-cjs/index.js:117
    throw new Error("Region is missing");
          ^

I will report this issue to the JS SDK SDE team. I will let you know if we have any updates!

Thanks! Maggie

Hey @anhnh131 ,

Thank you for bringing this up! We have put this issue in the queue.

While waiting for the fix in the pkg, there's some workarounds to unblock your work for now. I'm sharing 2 ways to configure the region:

1. You can put the service region(eg: us-west-1) in the client config input for now

   const iam = new IAMClient({region: 'us-east-1'});

2. You can add region in the aws config file.

   

Thanks! Maggie
