The environment variables weren't being set properly when running awsume.

Hi, I am trying to use awsume to assume a role, but it doesn't switch role when I input awsume . As a workaround, I have to input awsume -s and then paste the output again.

N.B: I am using Macbook Pro. I have configured my .bash_profile with alias: alias awsume='. awsume'

Can you please help me on what am I doing wrong?

I had been facing same issue too, using similar workaround.

awsume --unset also doesn't work /usr/local/bin/awsume: line 71: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script

This problem usually occurs due to the alias not being set in your active shell. If you run the alias command, do you see the correct awsume alias displayed?

[bugwrangler]

yep! thanks - worked after adding the alias in zsh :)

alias awsume=". awsume"

@ahadcse have you resolved the issue?

Closing, but if you're still experiencing issues feel free to re-open

@mbarneyjr When I run alias command I cannot see anything regarding awsume even though I have the line alias awsume=". awsume" in my .bash_profile file. I guess I was not able to set alias and the problem is not solved yet

@mbarneyjr Oh I have not given the command $source .bash_profile. Now it works. Thanks for helping

It might be that your shell is zsh, so it won't load your ~/.bash_profile on login. The zsh equivalent file is generally ~/.zshenv
