External Environment Variables overwrite credentials in code

[joergrech]

While this might be intentional I have the problem that AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY from my environment are overwriting the credentials stated in the sourcecode. Is there an option to "force" credentials from the code?

Here is my code:

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
// const elasticsearch = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const { createConnector } = require('aws-elasticsearch-js')

const domain = process.env.ES_HOST
const region = process.env.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
const accessKeyId = process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
const secretAccessKey = process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

// heads up: this is called on every request
const getCreds = (cb) => {
	// load creds from somewhere...
	const credentials = { accessKeyId, secretAccessKey }
	// or credentials = { sessionToken }
	const err = null // if you give an error, the request will abort
	cb(err, credentials)
}

export const es = new Client({
	node: domain,
	Connection: createConnector({ region, getCreds }),
})

Hi @joergrech looks like your code there is still supplying the creds from the environment itself rather than a hard-code override. e.g.

const accessKeyId = process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
const secretAccessKey = process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

is taking access keys from env.

If you wish to override in the code you can set these to something else.
