Current Behavior
When attempting to run yarn cdklocal bootstrap on LocalStack with aws-cdk set to 2.172.0 or newer, I get the following error:
❌ Environment aws://000000000000/eu-west-2 failed bootstrapping: Error: Need to perform AWS calls for account 000000000000, but no credentials have been configured

If I try running the bootstrap with 2.178.2, the error looks like:
❌ Environment aws://000000000000/eu-west-2 failed bootstrapping: _AuthenticationError: Need to perform AWS calls for account 000000000000, but no credentials have been configured

type: 'authentication'
}
Need to perform AWS calls for account 000000000000, but no credentials have been configured
Expected Behavior
This should work and there should be no Authentication issues
How are you starting LocalStack?
With a docker-compose file
Steps To Reproduce
How are you starting localstack (e.g., bin/localstack command, arguments, or docker-compose.yml)
docker run localstack/localstack
Client commands (e.g., AWS SDK code snippet, or sequence of "awslocal" commands)
`yarn cdklocal bootstrap`
Environment
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- LocalStack: 4.1.1
LocalStack version: 4.1.1
LocalStack Docker image sha: sha256:97ccc65daec3542bd2cb3160d7355f11e89ad8027fd3c834b9d1197d197d866f
LocalStack build date: 2025-02-05
LocalStack build git hash: 873d150c0
Anything else?
I've reproduced the issue here: https://github.com/Garethp/localstack-bugs/tree/bootstrap-error
When I clone down the branch bootstrap-error, run yarn install, and then ./start.sh I see the above error.
Additionally, we do have a temporary workaround. If we run AWS_PROFILE={profile} yarn cdklocal bootstrap where {profile} is a profile that's already been locally configured and is not an sso login then it passes. If it's set to a non-existent profile or a profile that's configured through aws sso then it still fails
