Question

Cannot perform an interactive login from a non TTY device

Answer 1

If you see the error 'Cannot perform an interactive login from a non-TTY device', it means you're trying to log in interactively in an environment that doesn’t have access to a terminal (like a script or automation).

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Use Non-Interactive Methods:

Instead of aws sso login, configure AWS credentials using:

    aws configure

1. This way, you avoid needing an interactive login.

2. Force a TTY:

If using ssh, add the -t flag:
    ssh -t user@hostname

1. Running in Docker:

Run the container with:
    docker run -it <container-name>

1. The -it flag makes the container interactive.

2. For CI/CD Pipelines: Use environment variables for credentials, since CI systems don’t support interactive logins.

3. Avoid Interaction: Pre-configure logins and avoid prompts where possible to work smoothly in non-TTY environments.
