Taskcat Does Not Read Credentials From Environmental Variables

[evanottinger]

Describe the bug Taskcat does not read credentials from environmental variables.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Export AWS credentials to environmental variables.
2. Run taskcat.
3. Taskcat reports error: botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListObjectsV2 operation: Access Denied

Stack Trace:

[ERROR  ] : ClientError An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListObjectsV2 operation: Access Denied

Expected behavior taskcat should inherit config precedence of boto3 when initializing clients.

**Version (Please make sure you are running the latest version of taskcat)

• Taskcat Version: 0.9.36

Note: Python Version 3.10.6

To find versions: Via taskcat: taskcat -V Via pip3: pip3 show taskcat

Note: both version should match

To update taskcat run: for docker : docker pull taskcat/taskcat for pip3: pip3 install --upgrade taskcat

Additional context Validated that both the aws-cli and boto3 within the Python3 REPL were able to execute the the commands from the stack trace. I was able to get taskcat to run properly by adding a new profile to the credentials file and placing my credentials there. This was not a necessary step for aws-cli or for boto3.
