Local CodeBuild project and ECR login problem

Question

I have a buildspec file that logs in to ECR:

```
- aws ecr get-login-password --region eu-west-2 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 123.dkr.ecr.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
```

This buildspec file runs fine in a CodeBuild project. 
In my local terminal if I run the above command, I also get 'Login Succeeded' message.

My issue is that when I try to run this CodeBuild project locally, I get ECR login error:

```
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".
agent-1  | Error: Cannot perform an interactive login from a non TTY device
```
I am running a local CodeBuild project like this:

```
./codebuild_build.sh -i aws/codebuild/standard:7.0 -a /path-to-artifact/artifacts  -s /path-to-app/FagateApp
```
I have checked my access key etc with aws configure and region is set to eu-west-2

thanks

In order to pass your local host credentials to the build container you need to use the `-c` flag (see [here](https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/blob/master/local_builds/codebuild_build.sh#L43)).
