I have the very same issue. I cannot run the tool on azure. I followed the cloudsploit documentation:

git clone https://github.com/aquasecurity/cloudsploit.git
cd cloudsploit
npm install
cp config_example.js config.js
# fill in my azure credentials
./index.js --config config.js

Here's a sample configuration of what I am using:

// CloudSploit config file

module.exports = {
    credentials: {
        aws: {
            // OPTION 1: If using a credential JSON file, enter the path below
            // credential_file: '/path/to/file.json',
            // OPTION 2: If using hard-coded credentials, enter them below
            // access_key: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID || '',
            // secret_access_key: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY || '',
            // session_token: process.env.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN || '',
            // plugins_remediate: ['bucketEncryptionInTransit']
        },
        aws_remediate: {
            // OPTION 1: If using a credential JSON file, enter the path below
            // credential_file: '/path/to/file.json',
            // OPTION 2: If using hard-coded credentials, enter them below
            // access_key: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID || '',
            // secret_access_key: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY || '',
            // session_token: process.env.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN || '',
        },

            // organization: process.env.GITHUB_ORG || false
        }
    }
};

I get the following error:

INFO: Using CloudSploit config file: config.js
ERROR: Config file could not be loaded. Please ensure you have copied the config_example.js file to config.js

Originally, I thought cloudsploit would automatically load the file config.js, so I also tried:

./index.js 

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to take the config.js into account, as I get the following error:

[INFO][REGIONS] Could not load all regions from EC2: {"message":"Missing region in config","code":"ConfigError","time":"2023-06-14T09:57:23.283Z"}

which actually is not an error (it's an [INFO]), but the tool does not do anything.

Happens on master and version v2.0.0 of cloudsploit.

OMG I was finally able to make it run. The path to the config file needs to be ./config.js. So the command to run is

./index.js --config ./config.js

and that works like a charm.

not working for me :(
