I am receiving the above error when configuring cors on my bucket

corsconfig.json contents:

{
"CORSRules": [
{
"AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
"AllowedMethods": ["GET"],
"AllowedOrigins": ["*"]
}
]
}

I tried using

• relative path

• absolute path

• with and without quotes for the above

In the error it mentions:

Set the CORS configuration on a bucket

So I tried running:

p@p:/home$ ibmcloud target -r jp-tok
Switched to region jp-tok


                   
API endpoint:      https://cloud.ibm.com
Region:            jp-tok
User:              <my email>
Account:           <my account>
Resource group:    No resource group targeted, use 'ibmcloud target -g RESOURCE_GROUP'
CF API endpoint:   
Org:               
Space:    

But there is a bucket in that region:

What am I missing, can someone help me out with it?

As mentioned on the IBM Cloud documentation to set a Cloud Object Storage bucket CORS, you need to use the file:// prefix to load the JSON from a specified file.

ibmcloud cos bucket-cors-put --bucket test --cors-configuration file://corsconfig.json

JSON Syntax: --cors-configuration file://<filename.json> ======= The --cors-configuration command takes a JSON structure that describes the CORS configuration. In this example, the file:// prefix is used to load the JSON structure from the specified file.
