Java exception in thread "main" when running awscli

[RaananF]

Followed the installation guide and when i'm trying to verify the installation or even run the basic awscli i get an exception

I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "this.input" is null

Tried removing and reinstalling everything and nothing worked. Everything is the correct version.

i am facing the same issue, does anyone figure out the solution?

If y'all do figure out a workaround, we might want to add it to the README. It's possible the JDK version matters.

check that you have a config file in ~/.okta and that it's properly named 'config.properties' , etc.. in case of file not found / badly named this error is thrown
