Incompatibility with aws-cdk v2.175.1

[noseworthy]

Hello,

I just recently upgraded my cdk libs from v2.171.1 to v2.175.1 and suddenly my deployments to localstack have started failing. This is the only change that I made.

It appears that some changes were made to how cdk makes API calls. I first noticed this when my CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT environment variable suddenly started resolving to undefined. I dug in a little deeper and see the following in the debug logs:

infra       | [19:47:18] [trace] SdkProvider#withAwsCliCompatibleDefaults()

infra       | [19:47:22] Unable to determine the default AWS account (CredentialsProviderError): Could not load credentials from any providers

This explains why CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT is undefined. So I figured, okay, let's hardcode the default account number of 000000000000 in my own code as a fallback.

When I did this, my cdklocal bootstrap call fails with:

infra       |  ⏳  Bootstrapping environment aws://000000000000/us-east-1...

I've never had to configure credentials before, so this is sort of weird.

If I set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=000000000000 and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=test in my container, then everything works fine. Is this expected behaviour? Or should cdklocal be setting these credentials up?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look at this, I really appreciate it!

I'm seeing this too with [email protected] and [email protected] which are the newest versions of each. It sounds similar to this previous closed issue: #95 .

Rolling back to [email protected] is the only way I found to get things working.

Maybe it broke again?
