AWS S3 JavaScript SDK getSignedUrl returns base path only

Question

I have some very simple code for generating an S3 URL. The URL I get back from the SDK only has the base path for S3. It doesn't contain anything else. Why is this happening?

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

var s3 = new AWS.S3();

console.log(s3.getSignedUrl('getObject', {
  Bucket: 'test',
  Key: 'test'
}));

// Returns "https://s3.amazonaws.com/"

Node.js v0.12.0, AWS SDK 2.1.15 or 2.1.17, Windows 7 64-bit,

Answer 1

The problem wasn't with code. It turns out that when you don't have your AWS credentials set up properly in your environment that the AWS SDK doesn't complain. Fixing the credentials in ~/.aws/credentials resolved the issue.

Answer 2

I too had the same problem. I got the correct output by changing the below

from AWS_Access_Key_Id = myaccesskey to aws_access_key_id=myaccesskey

Similarly for Secret key. That means you should not use Upper case and no space before and after =
