AWS s3api json formatting error: Error parsing parameter 'cli-input-json': Invalid JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Question

Not sure what I'm getting wrong with my json format. Just trying to test out aws cli and run aws s3api list-objects --cli-input-json <json_file>.json --profile <profile_name> where <my_json> is below but getting:

Error parsing parameter 'cli-input-json': Invalid JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
JSON received: <my_json.json>

{"Bucket": "<bucket_name>","Delimiter": "","EncodingType": "","Marker": "","MaxKeys": 0,"Prefix": "<prefix_name>"}

I'm using a linux server and the file is located in /root/my_json.json — horatio1701d

Instead of :

my_json.json

You have to use file:// before the json name :

file://my_json.json

I'm running into this too, but I'm using file:// syntax.

Given the constraint above, I had to navigate to the exact folder on my local and then call --cli-input-json for AWS SES. Not sure why you can't just put a *nix path in there.

In my case, I think it was needing ASCII encoding (unicode being the default)... added -Encoding ASCII -NoNewline to my Out-File and it worked.

In particular I needed to generate my json file with via aws {cmd} --generate-cli-skeleton | Out-File -encoding ascii aws-service.json When I simply redirected the output to a file the cli would not accept that file.

Thanks. This is the only clue that works for me. I have to convert my json file to UTF-8 (with Notepad++). I am using AWS CLI v2.
