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.
