"aws sso login" returns "command not found" error

0

When I run aws sso login I get the following error:

$ aws sso login
aws sso login: command not found

All other aws commands work fine.

aws sso help returns the sso man page with a description and available commands:

 AVAILABLE COMMANDS
       o get-role-credentials
       o help
       o list-account-roles
       o list-accounts
       o login
       o logout

I get the same error for the other aws sso commands (except help):

$ aws sso logout
aws sso logout: command not found

$ aws sso get-role-credentials
aws sso get-role-credentials: command not found

$ aws sso list-account-roles
aws sso list-account-roles: command not found

$ aws sso list-accounts
aws sso list-accounts: command not found

Using:

 $ aws --version
aws-cli/2.11.2 Python/3.11.2 Linux/5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 exe/x86_64.ubuntu.22 prompt/off

Installed following these instructions.

I tried uninstalling following these instructions and installing again, that didn't solve the problem.

Running /usr/local/bin/aws sso login works.

$ which aws
/usr/local/bin/aws

$ whereis aws
aws: /usr/local/bin/aws

# There are no alias for aws
$ alias | grep aws

Running it as an alias also works:

$ aws sso login
aws sso login: command not found

$ alias pippo='aws sso login'

$ pippo
Attempting to automatically open the SSO authorization page in your default browser.
If the browser does not open or you wish to use a different device to authorize this request, open the following URL:
https://device.sso.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/

What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?

Did you try it with --debug -option? That could reveal where the problem is.

aws --debug sso login

My guess is, there is some trouble finding your default browser.

    Thanks! I did that and added the output to the question (it was too big for a comment). I also added that both running as /usr/local/bin/aws sso login and from an alias work fine.

    I think this something with your shell rather than aws-cli. "aws sso login: command not found" says it can not find cmd "aws sso login", like it was ignoring whitespaces between cmd and arguments. Everything else seems to work; debug-flag, fullpath, even "aws sso help", but not "aws sso login". I can get similar error if I add quotes around cmd and parameters.

    $ 'aws sso help' -bash: aws sso help: command not found

    Have you checked you don't have function called "aws" defined?

    $ typeset -F | grep aws

    @Kallu I suspect you are right, something is wrong with my shell. It is peculiar it only happens with aws. typeset -F | grep aws produces no output.
