AWS CDK Credentials not found when Bootstrapping

Question

I'm getting the following error within zsh when issuing the command:

Command - ~ % cdk bootstrap aws://******/*region*

Error (snip) - Environment aws://******/*region* failed bootstrapping: Error: Need to perform AWS calls for account ******, but no credentials have been configured

When I run aws configure, I'm able to set my temporary credentials and verify they are written to the Credentials file within users/username/.aws

When I try to run the same commands from an ec2 linux instance, everything works fine. How can I get the cdk to properly locate my credentials file on my local machine?

Resolve the issue by adding AWS_SESSION_TOKEN to my .aws/credentials file. It would be helpful if you could specify your Session Token right from the aws configure command.
