Unable to determine the default AWS account: TypeError: Cannot redefine property: [my-other-aws-profile]

[jedrekdomanski]

Describe the bug

I have multiple AWS profiles for switching between my company's and my personal profiles. I have this in my ~/.aws/config

[default]
region=eu-central-1
cli_pager=

[my-other-aws-profile]
region=us-west-2

[my-yet-other-aws-profile]
region=eu-central-1

My credentials are defined in ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[my-other-aws-profile]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I used my default profile to generate my CDK stack. When I run cdk deploy I get an error message:

Unable to resolve AWS account to use. It must be either configured when you define your CDK Stack, or through the environment

When I specify --profile flag as stated in cdk --help I get the same error message.
When I add verbose logging to the command I get the following message:

Unable to determine the default AWS account: TypeError: Cannot redefine property: [my-other-aws-profile]

Expected Behavior

I am able to use specified AWS profile to deploy my CDK stack.

Current Behavior

I get an error

Unable to determine the default AWS account: TypeError: Cannot redefine property: [my-other-aws-profile]

Reproduction Steps

Generate your CDK stack using your selected profile then try to deploy it.

Does it have to do with this line cli_pager= causing parsing issues? Are you able to issue AWS CLI commands and have them resolve to the default profile?

Of course, everything works as normal, I switch profiles multiple times a day and all works fine. 'cli_pager=' is just a way to overwrite the dafult annoying behavior that outputs everything to 'less' instead of to stdout.

I'm going to close this in favor of the newer issue you've opened @jedrekdomanski

I believe it's as cory mentioned in that thread, in your config file you should only have one definition of the profile you're using, and prefix it with the word profile https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html#cli-configure-profiles-create
