When using Cognito credentials with AWS in a browser (javascript), keep getting “missing credentials” error

问题

I'm attempting to upload a file to an S3 bucket of mine from a web browser using AWS' JavaScript SDK. My code looks like this:

AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
    AccountId: 'dfhgdh',
    IdentityPoolId: 'fdagsd',
    RoleArn: 'fdafds'
});

var bucket = new AWS.S3({params: {Bucket: 'test-bucket'}});
var pdfUpload = document.getElementById('pdf-uploads').files[0];

var params = {Key: pdfUpload.name, ContentType: pdfUpload.type, Body: pdfUpload};
bucket.putObject(params, function (error, data) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

However, whenever it reaches the putObject command, I keep getting an error back from AWS:

"Error: Missing credentials in config {message: "Missing credentials in config", code: "CredentialsError"..."

I'm sure I'm missing something simple and stupid here, but I can't figure out what for the life of me. (I get a different error when I try to just hardcode a bogus secret key in or something, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way I'm trying to set up cognito credentials.)

Turns out that after debugging the JavaScript AWS SDK, the problem was that I wasn't setting the region before setting the credentials... And for some reason, I need to use the update method, as well. I think this seems like a bug with the SDK, but the following setup of AWS.config fixed my problem:

AWS.config.region = 'us-east-1';
AWS.config.update({
    credentials: new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
        AccountId: '43243243243',
        RoleArn: 'arn:aws:iam::970123460807:role/Cognito_RigUpWebUnauth_DefaultRole',
        IdentityPoolId: 'us-east-1:432432-432432432-4324323423-423243'
    })
});

After configuring your credentials object, you will need to make a call to obtain those credentials by calling refresh(). You can then put your call to S3 inside the callback.

AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({...});

AWS.config.credentials.refresh(function(){
   // Your S3 code here...
});
