aws emr-containers cli does not display responses

Question

Hi folks,

I am starting to use the aws emr-containers cli and am having an issue as follows.

The cli does not display the responses to the requests issued with it (for instance: create-virtual-cluster and describe-virtual-cluster). Only when there is an error it displays the error message, but when the request succeeds it displays nothing.

I run the same requests (those for which I am not seeing any response on success) with the --debug option set and found out that the cli is receiving the correct answer from the server. It just does not display it.

I also tested on the same machine (MacOS) and same environment a couple of aws emr cli commands and verified that they worked just fine (that is, aws emr api requests display the responses normally on success).

Can someone help?

Answer

Hi,

While using the AWS CLI version 1 and running the emr-containers cli commands, I noticed the same behaviour as you mentioned and it was resolved by updating the AWS cli version to the latest version. I would recommend you to update the CLI to version 2 and check if the issue still persists.

Here is the below documentation to upgrade AWS CLI version.
