Serverless no longer deploying resources - errors instantly

I’ve been using Serverless for some time now and have not had this problem before. When I run sls deploy -v --stage dev, I’m now getting this error:

Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Excluding development dependencies...
Serverless: AWS SES template synchronization start

I’ve made sure that the correct AWS profile is being used. I’ve also tried exporting environment variables but still no luck. We are using the AWS SSO portal so credentials change.

I was having this issue with 2.19.0 and have just upgraded to the latest release of Serverless. Any ideas folks?

So I still have no idea why Serverless stopped respecting my AWS credential env variables… I’ve managed to work around the issue using a script a colleague of mine wrote:

I now need to run aws2-wrap --profile ProfileName --exec "sls deploy -v --stage dev"

Where ProfileName relates to an entry in ~/.aws/config like:

[profile ProfileName]
sso_start_url = https://foobar.awsapps.com/start
sso_region = us-east-1
sso_account_id = 12342323423
sso_role_name = Role
region = us-east-1
output = json

Hi, I’m contributing to an open-source project that aims to solve this credentials problem with exteernal libraries like SLS and this is the exact use case.
Take a look at Leapp: GitHub - Noovolari/leapp: Leapp is the tool to access your cloud; It securely stores your access information and generates temporary credential sets to access your cloud ecosystem from your local machine.
