InvalidLocationConstraint: The specified location-constraint is not valid

[danielhaviv]

Trying to run the benchmark tool from an EC2 instance on an existing bucket:

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-2-167 ~]$ ./s3-benchmark    -bucket-name dhavivresearch -full -region us-east-1

I'm also receiving the exact same issue, I suspect it has to do with the server being in us-east-1

I think the fix is to wrap s3.BucketLocationConstraint(region) with NormalizeBucketLocation. I'll take a look at fixing it some time next week. In the meantime feel free to give that a shot.

You can also work around this by creating the S3 bucket manually.

Is there any way to pass bucket name as parameter if we create S3 bucket manually?

[dvassallo]

Yep, just pass -bucket-name <your-bucket>.

Great thanks! I have tried this on us-east-1 region, the InvalidLocationConstraint was still present. I am now going to try this out on us-west-1 to see if that fixes the error. This was helpful to give some background: boto/boto3#125

Will try to submit pull request if I manage to figure out and fix the issue.

I think the fix is to wrap s3.BucketLocationConstraint(region) with NormalizeBucketLocation. I haven't had time to test it though. PR welcome and appreciated if you manage to give it a shot.
