Please document how to specify that missing region!

tmeinlschmidt commented 3 years ago

either use

$ AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true cf-to-tf -s ... if you have ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials or
$ AWS_REGION=us-east-1 cf-to-tf -s ... to specify region directly

I agree this should be in docs

Personally, the only way I could make it work was by setting the environment variables:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=

Setting AWS_CONFIG_FILE and AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG was not helping on my side.
