Hey all, I am having the

Unexpected error: NoRegionError('You must specify a region.')

, although I added

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

(along with

AWS_CREDENTIALS

) to the prefect secrets. Do I miss anything?

Hi @Robin - try setting your default region in

~/.aws/config

like this:

[default]
region=us-east-1

Hmm, I have done this already successfully to run flows locally. However, I want to avoid having to set this, such that the credentials and regions are loaded correctly in any environment and agent.

Got it @Robin - in which case take a look at the boto3 documentation regarding runtime configuration, since all the Prefect AWS tasks are based on the boto3 client.

Thanks, I already looked into it and tried to solve it using the environment variable

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

. Therefore, I set

os.environ['AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'] = 'eu-central-1'

in the flow, but it did not work. Do I need to set it in a task instead? Is there a common way of setting environment variables in prefect flows?

Hi @Robin sorry for the slow reply, yesterday was a holiday for us. The Core team will take a look at your PR asap!

OK, well deserved! was already wondering (and feeling a bit neglected 😄 ) as you usually answer super fast 🙂
