AWS S3 backend fails to initialize using profile

Terraform
1

I have a very simple module using AWS (4.50.0) with terraform 1.3.7 with AWS credentials configured locally under a profile (e.g. “myprofile”)

When running with local state, all AWS commands use the profile correctly and succeed, however when I try to move the state to S3 using the same profile I get this error:

Error: error configuring S3 Backend: no valid credential sources for S3 Backend found.

Please see Backend Type: s3 | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer
for more information about providing credentials.

Error: NoCredentialProviders: no valid providers in chain. Deprecated.
For verbose messaging see aws.Config.CredentialsChainVerboseErrors

The module looks basically like this, which works fine in other projects using an older terraform version (0.14)

provider "aws" {
  profile = "myprofile"
}

terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket  = "mybucket"
    key     = "terraform/blah/foo.tfstate"
    region  = "us-west-2"
    profile = "myprofile"
    encrypt = true
  }
}

Forgot to note, this works just fine if I directly put my access and secret key in the config. So it’s just not loading correctly from ~/.aws/credentials
