I'm getting this weird issue when trying to import an SBT project into IntelliJ IDEA 15 CE.

The message is simply Unable to load AWS Credentials from any provider in the chain.

I've tried exposing AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as environment variables for my session, and I know for sure that the values that I'm setting is correct. I've also tried creating a ~/.aws/credentials file, but neither of these are doing anything towards fixing this error. I think this is specifically an IntelliJ error, because I can run this project in my console using sbt just fine.

Here's a snippet from my sbt.last.log. It's not super helpful.

How do I fix this?

The only way I was able to get it working was using the ~/.aws/credential file (I'm using the latest IntelliJ CE).

Inside your ~/.aws/credential add:

[default]
aws_access_key_id={NO_QUOTES_KEY}
aws_secret_access_key={NO_QUOTES_SECRET_KEY}

The profile name inside [] has to be default. It did not work with any other profile name.

I ended up just running

sbt compile

or (Activator which is a superset of SBT)

activator compile

from the command line, which resolved (and downloaded) all the dependencies, then opened it up in IntelliJ.

Hope that works for you too.
