IllegalArgumentException: Expected a profile definition on line 1 in KinesisClient

Question

I m creating an object of KinesisClient class using AWS SDK 2.x in java like this

AwsCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = StaticCredentialsProvider.create(
        AwsBasicCredentials.create("access-key",
            "secret-key")
    );
    KinesisClient kinesisClient  = KinesisClient.builder()
        .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
        .build();

when I am executing this code, I am getting below exception

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected a profile definition on line 1

Invalid key-values/characters could cause that exception. Could you please check if you got any invalid characters or values in cat ~/.aws/credentials or cat ~/.aws/config files.

Instead of a speculative "maybe" as answer, combined with a question, please use your commenting privilege. Then create an assertive answer when things are clear and you have narrowed down OPs problem to the point that a definitive answer is possible. – Yunnosch Mar 15 '21 at 18:34

In addition to the answer from Venkata, the format of the credentials file appears to be important and the error may not make this obvious.

For example, I found that this format does not work (Mac OS in ~/.aws/credentails):

[default] 
aws_access_key_id=AKIARQV2GJHGK78 aws_secret_access_key=Op+kW9cXLL9dddtSNRuRccULcL5gt4VUx6ywOObN

while this format does (i.e. on separate lines):

[default] 
aws_access_key_id=AKIARQV2GJHGK78
aws_secret_access_key=Op+kW9cXLL9dddtSNRuRccULcL5gt4VUx6ywOObN

(above are not real keys!)
