Showcreds not working

DevOps
#1

-bash: showcreds: command not found

What am i missing?

#2

A link to the lab in question would help a lot here; usually, this works.

#3

showcreds hasn’t worked in any of the labs, but here’s one:

#4

btw, once I got to the next lab “managing terraform state” with a visual studio code terminal (instead of just a bash terminal) - it worked. in other words, inside visual studio code there is a terminal window, typing showcreds works in there. In the first 2 terraform labs, we did not use visual studio code and I just had a bash shell, showcreds do not work there.

#5

Looks like you’re correct – in the lab you linked, I get

root@aws-client ~ on ☁️  (us-east-1) ✖ showcreds
-bash: showcreds: command not found

The work-around is to just use the creds in that first frame of the lab. But I’ll tell the lab team that it is not correctly set up in this configuration.

Although the showcreds command should work and Rob has raised an internal ticket, what it actually does is this

cat /opt/showcreds

so you can run that too.

Thanks for reporting this. Our engineers have fixed this.

#8

Thanks for addressing this, future engineers will find it useful - there’s no back button to go back to the initial screen that I could find, so if you didn’t write down those creds you had to start over.
