Error in parse_aws_s3_response(r, Sig, verbose = verbose) : Forbidden (HTTP 403). about redshifttools HOT 6 CLOSED

It needs to be set as a environment variable which you can do with Sys.setenv or set before starting the R session. I would suggest something similar to:
do.call(Sys.setenv, list( "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" = "access_key", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" = "secret_key", "AWS_DEFAULT_REGION" = "region" ) )

from redshifttools.

That error is exactly that. Verify with the same aws credentials if you can delete the files with e.g. the aws client

@sicarul I receive this exact same response. I can use another tool and same credentials to connect and delete the contents of this bucket. I'm using the master branch at the moment due to the s3 session token issue. Of note, I'm using R 3.5.2 and selected 'cran only packages' when installed your master branch with devtools.

The issue seems to be that access_key, secret_key etc. are overwritten by environment variables you haven't set. Try to set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY & AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.

Thanks @NSchnack . How may I achieve this?
I tried to do it with the following code example:

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION<-"eu-west-1"

but when I query it with the below to validate, I'm getting a blank field:

 Sys.getenv("AWS_DEFAULT_REGION")
[1] ""

from redshifttools.

worked thanks @NSchnack
