terraform issue, shared_credential_file

[julianwieg]

• Ubuntu 18 LTS
• AWS
• TF 1.2.1

Description of the issue:

When I plan or apply I get the following error, see below. I updated/checked the paths and yes of course the creds are there. Bit lost what the issue is as I even read the TF provider documentation and everything 'seems' fine (though I never learned TF before).

error

variables.tf

variable "shared_credentials_file" {
  description = "Path to your AWS credentials file"
  type        = string
  default     = "~/.aws/credentials"
}

for me at least the above credentials files does work when I cat the path

main.tf

# Specify the provider and access details
provider "aws" {
  shared_credentials_file = var.shared_credentials_file
  region                  = var.region
  profile                 = var.profile
}
