Cdklocal explodes if no AWS profile is set

[dlutsch]

If running cdklocal and there is no default profile in the credentials file + no AWS_PROFILE env var set the app creates pages of output with no clear error message before eventually exiting 1. Having no profile set should be caught by error handling and provide a useful error message to the user.

This is also an issue if AWS_PROFILE is set to a profile that doesn't exist in the aws credentials file

Thanks for reporting @dlutsch - just gave this a try, but haven't been able to replicate the issue.

Can you please share some more details about your environment setup, and ideally a small reproducible example. Does this happen with every CDK stack (even simple "hello world" examples)? Are you seeing any requests arriving at the LocalStack container (with DEBUG=1 enabled), or is this purely a client-side error happening in the cdklocal process itself only?

If you could share a couple of lines of the error logs you're seeing, that would be helpful. Please also share the version of CDK you're using.. Thanks!

Closing due to inactivity. Please let us know if the problem persists (along with a minimal reproducible example) - in that case we can re-open the issue and investigate further. 👍 Thanks for your help!
