Unable to Load Credentials Error

[joswr1ght]

Using a --profile_name parameter returns the error Unable to load AWS credentials:

fireprox (master) $ ./fire.py --profile_name jmerckle --region us-east-1 --command list
usage: fire.py [-h] [--profile_name PROFILE_NAME] [--access_key ACCESS_KEY] [--secret_access_key SECRET_ACCESS_KEY] [--session_token SESSION_TOKEN]

Unable to load AWS credentials

Debugging this indicates this is the problem:

self.client = boto3.session.Session(profile_name=self.profile_name).client('apigateway')

The region is required otherwise Boto3 will raise botocore.exceptions.NoRegionError. This is a broad try/except block with no specific exception handling, so it's easy to miss this. This could be a change in Boto3 (I'm using 1.17.59) since the initial release too.

I'm having this same issue but I am not providing a profile name. My AWS instance is operating under the free tier so I dont think it's a payment issue. Im not sure why but fireprox will not just load my AWS keys. Any help appreciated
