Missing credentials in config, if using AWS_CONFIG_FILE, set AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

Question

When I am trying to load AWS credentials in my project it gives back an error.

When using credentials in plain text everything works good but when I am trying to use environment variables it's not working.

Error message. :

Missing credentials in config, if using AWS_CONFIG_FILE, set AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

Here is my tried code :

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');


const SESConfig = {
    apiVersion: "2010-12-01",
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_SECRET_KEY,
    accessSecretKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_KEY,
    region: "us-east-1"
}
AWS.config.update(SESConfig);
var sns = new AWS.SNS()
var sns = new AWS.SNS();

function sendSMS(to_number, message, cb) {

    sns.publish({
        Message: message,
        Subject: 'Admin',
        PhoneNumber:to_number
    }, cb);
  
  }
  
  // Example
  const PhoneNumberArray = ['any mobile number']
  PhoneNumberArray.forEach(number => {
    sendSMS(number, "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.", (err, result)=>{
        console.log("RESULTS: ",err,result)
      })
  })

By default, the SDK detects AWS credentials set in your environment and uses them to sign requests to AWS. That way you don’t need to manage credentials in your applications.

Unix:

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_key_id"
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"

Windows:

> set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_key_id"
> set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"

you can also add $ export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN='your_token' (optional)

See aws-sdk for more details.

or create a ~/.aws/credentials file and add:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>

See aws for more details.
