I am trying to run aws command using Golang's command function in os/exec package. But it gives error on doing so.

command: aws s3 cp SOURCE_DIR s3://BUCKET_NAME/TARGET_DIR --recursive

error: Unable to locate credentials

But credentials are set as shared configuration file. Please guide me what I am doing wrong here and how it can be resolved.

CodePudding user response：

Assuming the Go program is run with the right user, try and execute instead aws configure list

As explained in this thread, you will see how your credentials are configured:

• config file
• environment variable
• instance profile
• or... not at all, in the context of your Go runtime session.

Also the credentials file is with a different user and the directory which is being copied is with different user. can this be the issue ?

Yes, that is the point of this answer: double-check what your Go program sees during its execution, in term of environment variable (like $HOME).
