terraform error message line numbers












2















Is there any way to get the line number causing terraform errors? For example:



$ terraform plan

module root: module foo: bar is not a valid parameter

$


Ideally the error message would give me file paths and line numbers corresponding to the error, e.g.



$ terraform plan

  File "maint.tf", line 120:

    bar = "123"

  InvalidParameterError: "bar" is not a valid parameter of module foo

$


I understand not being a procedural language may make this more difficult but not containing a single file path nor line number seems excessive.

          Unfortunately, no, there isn't currently a way to make terraform output the error file or line location



          This is a known usability issue with terraform, and the maintainers are updating error messages on a case-by-case basis. (see https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/1758).



          Per mitchellh, "error messages are improving," but for now it seems that humans will have to find the errors.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
