custom endpoints / Localstack

Question

Hi! I've been trying to use the AWS Toolkit with Localstack running on my machine. My localstack setup is running fine, I can access it with the awslocal wrapper of the awscli. I created a new aws profile for Localstack, but I can't find a way to link this profile to the localhost:4655 endpoint used by localstack. To my understanding, this seems to be the missing bit.

Is it possible to link the AWS Toolkit to Localstack?

It's not supported yet, but "custom endpoints" is something we are considering.

• Compatibility with localstack aws-toolkit-jetbrains#1883
• Add proposal for configuring endpoints per service aws-sdk#230

Is there any update for this? @justinmk3

This would be an awesome feature!

As already registered here:

Problem

If you have a local profile for local development using something like localstack, from the command line you can use the ASW CLI like this, to access the localstack S3 service:

aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:4566 s3api head-object --bucket "local-bucket" --key "local-object.txt"

As far as I know there is no support for setting the endpoint-url parameter in aws-toolkit-vscode.

Expected behavior

A way to set the endpoint-url parameter in aws-toolkit-vscode.

Note

There is a proposal to allow setting the endpoint url for different services using the AWS config files or environment variables but it is not implemented yet so, for now, there is no way to do this on aws-toolkig-vscode.

Would need this as well.

This would be a worthwhile feature to add.

+1 to this. I use vscode with docker version of S3 (cloudserver) and would love to be able to change the endpoint URL to a localhost endpoint.
