AWS.S3 reading from ~/.aws/credentials instead of config object

See original GitHub issue

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');

const config = {
  accessKeyId: 'xxxx',
  secretAcessKey: 'xxxx',
};
const s3 = new AWS.S3(config);

I noticed that the sdk is completely ignoring config and is instead reading from ~/.aws/credentials.

If I remove ~/.aws/credentials, then s3.upload() etc will fail with

CredentialsError: Missing credentials in config Could not load credentials from any providers

even though the credentials are provided via the config object in JS.

Environment

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 / Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Node: 8.12.0 Yarn: 1.9.4 aws-sdk: “^2.270.1”
