# How to Address AWS Uncaught CredentialsProviderError: Could Not Load Credentials from Any Providers

When importing an AWS library in Node

```
Uncaught CredentialsProviderError: Could not load credentials from any providers
```

appeared.

During local development, I was using Dynamoose with a local DynamoDB, and even though I wasn't using AWS authentication, this error still appeared.

It seems like this error occurs when there is no `default` definition in the `.aws/credentials` file.

If you specify an appropriate AWS_PROFILE like `AWS_PROFILE=ytyng` as an environment variable during `npm run dev`, the error disappears.
