Description

Sops 3.2.0 on OS X installed with Brew.

sops -d test-env.secret.sops.yml --aws-profile production
Failed to get the data key required to decrypt the SOPS file.

Group 0: FAILED
  arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:426575684472:key/b09749f5-2a39-4ac6-af5e-da9ca8c06194: FAILED
    - | Error decrypting key: AccessDeniedException: The ciphertext

Recovery failed because no master key was able to decrypt the file. In
order for SOPS to recover the file, at least one key has to be successful,
but none were.

However, export AWS_PROFILE=production works just fine.

Research direction

Start at the CLI entry point that handles --aws-profile and compare its credential selection with the AWS_PROFILE environment-variable path. Reproduce the reported sops -d command against an AWS KMS-encrypted file, then verify that the flag selects the same profile and allows decryption.
