SQS_AWS_REGION is ignored

[fancycoconut]

Hi,
It looks like a recent update broke the ability to configure the AWS region where the environment variable SQS_AWS_REGION is ignored. I pulled the latest contain and it defaults to eu-central-1 ignoring what i have set in the docker compose file.

It also looks like sqs admin is interfering with the localstack sqs service.

Hey, first of all, thanks for raising this issue :)

I pulled the latest contain and it defaults to eu-central-1

Can you elaborate, how you discovered that it is broken? Could you not create SQS queues? I could not reproduce it with the latest version. But i recognized that the UI initially shows, that default was eu-central-1 if you do not have queues yet. This info is just hardcoded and might be missleading. I think i will add at least a log output that tell the user which region and endpoint has been configured. WDYT?

It also looks like sqs admin is interfering with the localstack sqs service.

How do you recognize that? What is not working?

Hi,
Sorry I think I must've made a mistake and got confused - sqs admin isn't affecting localstack in anyway. I believe an update was done to either localstack or the aws cli tool or something because when I inspect the sqs admin container logs, I see something like this:

2024/02/01 21:41:46 Got an error retrieving queue URLs: operation error SQS: ListQueues, https response error StatusCode: 200, RequestID: JSW4M2AF4GGMLPD04KSTP21GNA8RG8O1ZWW82W83OXWGZ4YKJLT9, deserialization failed, failed to decode response body, invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

At this point, the sqs admin UI shows no queues and defaults to the message I mentioned above which caused the confusion.

Trying to diagnose further, when I run aws local to list the queues I can see it being returned. Just not from the admin container.

Yeah I agree - would definitely be helpful to see more info from the logs :) Really appreciate this.
