Allow setting shared credentials path about tflint HOT 2 CLOSED

TFLint supports only shared credentials (/.aws/credentials) , not configuration file (/.aws/config).
The region can only be written in configuration file, so you need to specify it separately.

Ahhhhh, that all makes absolute sense.

For the record, I actually found a better way to deal with all this: In Jenkinsfile I have the following wrapping for all tflint usage:

withCredentials([[$class: 'UsernamePasswordMultiBinding', credentialsId: 'aws-jenkins', usernameVariable: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', passwordVariable: 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']]) { }

In the credentials plugin, I put in the access key as username and secret key as the password. Works great! I also set the region as an environment variable, and when it's different the project has a .tflint.hcl in its directory that overrides it.

I still see some use from specifying the location of the credentials file, but this works well enough.

Again, thanks for your work!

Thanks for your feedback :)

it's an option to create another, tflint-specific, secret Jenkins file with the credentials but that would be a duplication effort I'd prefer to avoid.

You're right. I'm just considering an implementation that interprets the Terraform provider section.
However, it need the big changes, so I have not started implementing yet.

is there any reason that the region isn't being parsed out of the credentials file as well?

TFLint supports only shared credentials (~/.aws/credentials) , not configuration file (~/.aws/config).
The region can only be written in configuration file, so you need to specify it separately.
