Unable to insert record in DynamoDB using a Json file in CLI

Question

I am getting this error :

aws dynamodb put-item --table-name EmployeeDetail --item file:\\Desktop\\insert.json --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL

Error parsing parameter '--item': Expected: '=', received: ':' for input:
file:\\Desktop\\insert.json
    ^

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

The best practice will be:

running this command after being inside the directory where the file is present.

Here the main problem is that the path is not identified.
