• docu being horrible!

[kbrown]

I had to do some post install hacking. You can read here about the aws-cognito-sdk: https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js

[menisweet]

i have it to! poor docs

[alex2]

yeah bad doccies

[sHtev]

docs need a doc!

[ddorsett]

ok, just hit this. Docs are really horrible,.. kbrown or others: what was the post-install hacking?

[ddorsett]

Well, never mind- I decided to just drop down a level and use the cognito identity javascript library directly than mess with these wrappers

[nalbion]

@kbrown can you share your post-install hack?

[marcmillien]

@kbrown what was your trick to make it work? ^^

[kbrown]

@marcmillien I had to recreate the functionality of sdkshim.js and test.config.js in my project. I'm not sure that @Nokrosis' solution isn't better if Amazon isn't going to make the aws-cognito-sdk just work.

[marcmillien]

Thanks ^^. You'r right, the @Nokrosis PR is probably the best solution, let's hope it will be merged soon :).

Hi is this problem solved? I have the same error

[AlperKarapinar]

Hi, we did solve this by aliasing aws-cognito-sdk inside webpack config.

resolve: {
  ...
    alias: {
     "aws-cognito-sdk": "amazon-cognito-identity-js/dist/aws-cognito-sdk.min.js"
    }
  },
