When configuring a`aws_dir` and `aws.region` in the same Vagrantfile, the `aws.region` value is ignored

[ShiraazMoollatjie]

When I configure my AWS instance, I notice that when I use aws.aws_dir and override the region with aws.region, then the region is ignored.

Files involved:

/config

[default]
region=eu-west-1
output=text

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
    config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
        # AWS Configuration
        override.vm.box = 'dummy'

        aws.aws_dir = 'D:\\application-data\\aws\\'
        aws.associate_public_ip = true
        aws.ami = '******'
        aws.region = 'eu-west-1'
        aws.instance_type = 't2.micro'
        aws.subnet_id = 'subnet-0b076042'
        aws.tags = {
            'Name' => 'Provisioned by Vagrant'
        }

        aws.keypair_name = 'RaaS'

        override.ssh.username = 'centos'
        override.ssh.private_key_path = '*****'
    end
end

Terminal Output - note the region is different

There was an error talking to AWS. The error message is shown

Subnet ID not found: subnet-0b076042

At the moment I am using the intended region as my default region

Facing the same issue. Even if I remove the region value from .aws/config, It tries to launch instance in us-east-1 (default) instead of picking the one which is configured

Same here. It seems like aws.region gets ignored

Same issue here. Overriding the AWS Default region using environment variables did the trick for me: $ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-west-2"

@albertoal nothing change after using environment variable
