aws config: don’t forget your settings
May 25, 2021
So I kept getting this error at the AWS CLI command line.
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 12
The aws cli command was completing successfully and I was piping the result into jq to parse the response.
It took me a while to realize that my .aws/config file was set to output=yaml
I changed it to output=json and boila!
