Issue sending message to SQS when authenticating with cognito

567 views Asked by user3662516 At 06 June 2015 at 18:21

When attempting to send a message to sqs I get a missing config credentials warning. If switch to just displaying my accesskey and password I can send the message to sqs just fine. I've included the code I'm using and the errors I get from the browser below.

Code below:

AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
  IdentityPoolId: 'xxxxxx',
});
var params = {
  MessageBody: 'some random message',
  QueueUrl: 'xxxxxx'
};
AWS.config.credentials.get(function(err) {
  if (err) console.log(err);
  else console.log(AWS.config.credentials);
});

var sqs = new AWS.SQS();
sqs.sendMessage(params, function (err, data) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('Message sent.');
  } else {
    console.log(err);
  }
});

Errors from console.log:

Take note that I've tried adding region various different ways.

I don't see anything in your posted code that sets the region.

[Following copied from the Configuring the SDK in Node.js documentation]

The AWS SDK for Node.js doesn't select the region by default. You can choose a region similarly to setting credentials by either loading from disk or using AWS.config.update():

AWS.config.update({region: 'us-west-1'});
