I'll happily look into this. Meanwhile @sateeshblue can you please share some more details on your setup so that I can reproduce this.

I have the same crash, but it's not with a missing AWS_PROFILE -- instead it happens if the backend is unavailable.

Terraform 1.2.4, configured to use the HTTP backend, stored in a GitLab repo. Without a username and password (TF_HTTP_USERNAME|PASSWORD), it crashes.

terraform {
  backend "http" {
    address = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/NNN/terraform/state/default"
    lock_address = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/NNN/terraform/state/default/lock"
    unlock_address = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/NNN/terraform/state/default/lock"
    lock_method = "POST"
    unlock_method = "DELETE"
    retry_wait_min = 5
  }
}
