ElasticTranscoder gem throws vague error when creating job

Question

When trying to create a job in the AWS Transcoder pipeline, I'm getting Aws::ElasticTranscoder::Errors::BadRequest. I'm pretty sure I have the params right, but I'm still getting this ambiguous error. Has anyone encountered that?

My call looks like this

client = Aws::ElasticTranscoder::Client.new(
      access_key_id: Rails.application.credentials.aws_s3_access_key_id,
      secret_access_key: Rails.application.credentials.aws_s3_secret_access_key,
      region: Rails.application.credentials.aws_s3_region,
      endpoint: 'https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
    )


params = {:pipeline_id=>"xxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxx",
 :inputs=>
  [{:key=>"test/folder1/0.mp4", :frame_rate=>"auto", :resolution=>"auto", :aspect_ratio=>"auto", :interlaced=>"auto", :container=>"auto"},
   {:key=>"test/folder1/1.mp4", :frame_rate=>"auto", :resolution=>"auto", :aspect_ratio=>"auto", :interlaced=>"auto", :container=>"auto"}],
 :output=>{:key=>"final.mp4", :preset_id=>"1351620000001-000010"}}

client.create_job(params)

Pipeline is active and it's in the same region. So is s3 bucket.

Turns out it was the endpoint param in the client that made this mess... Just remove it. Hope this will hint someone and spare a few hours of debugging.
