CDK CLI does not work through corporate proxy.

[arullewis]

CDK CLI does not work when the user connected to the internet through the proxy. I get

"connect ECONNREFUSED 54.240.195.235:443" error.

AWS CLI & npm does not have any trouble connecting to the internet. is this a known issue?

Facing the similar prob when i run the cdk behind the proxy.

Looking up default account ID from STS

That's a use-case we never had a chance to test with...

In order for us to be able to test/repro/fix, can you tell what OS you're using and which mechanism the proxy is configured by (system-wide, environment variables, ...)?

I suppose we need to specifically configure something to use proxy settings... We'll have to research what exactly, I guess.

Oh yeah, looks like we need to do work on our end:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/using-the-aws-sdk-for-javascript-from-behind-a-proxy/

Are people feeling strongly about which environment variable to use? I've seen all of these used:

http_proxy
HTTP_PROXY
https_proxy
HTTPS_PROXY

[rix0rrr]

This package wraps the SDK and looks at both https_proxy and HTTPS_PROXY:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-sdk-proxy

Not suggesting we use that package, but we might use the same approach.

[Black742]

As a wordaround have configured the proxy in the sdk.js file and able to make the connect to the sts server through aws-cdk.

filelocation = aws-cdk/lib/api/util/sdk.js

const proxy = require('proxy-agent')
aws_sdk_1.config.update({
httpOptions: {
agent: proxy("http://localhost:3128")
}
});

@RomainMuller I am using Windows 10 and system wide http proxy settings.

[arullewis]

filelocation = aws-cdk/lib/api/util/sdk.js

@Black742 - I can not find this location in my node_modules directory. Am i missing something?

[taichi]

i have same issue. i use windows10.
i want to cofingure environment variables .
Environment variables on Windows are not case sesitive.

[Black742]

@arullewis U should be able to find the files in the global node modules installed directory..
\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\aws-cdk\lib\api\util\sdk.js

@costleya and I both still see this in the latest master. Are you sure it's fixed? Reopening.

Verbose output:

> cdk deploy hello-cdk-1 -v

What kind of permissions are you using while doing this (aws configure/environment variables/a credential plugin)?

I've seen this happen when the wrong kind of permission object is passed to the SDK. Thought I fixed them, but maybe not.

[mpiroc]

This turned out to be a PEBKAC--my PATH was pointing to an old build of the CDK.

[arullewis]

@rix0rrr when can we expect this commit to be released?

[rix0rrr]

Any day now. Stay tuned

[taichi]

@rix0rrr Thanks for fixed release. But there is a lack of code modification.

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/b2227311558e32295d3f9ea127b5a38a4b49d63b/packages/aws-cdk/lib/api/util/sdk.ts#L196

i think right code is below.

const result = await new AWS.STS({ credentials: creds, ...this.defaultClientArgs }).getCallerIdentity().promise();

[rix0rrr]

Oh bully. You are correct.
