Hello,
I’m trying to write a terraform spec template deploying azure resource and i have a question :
Is there a way to “read” in the terraform code the values entered in the “group” part of the provisionning process :

In the documentation, preprovionning variables are suggested , bet when i try, it goes :

Error: Invalid index


  on local-variables.tf line 15, in locals:
  15:   subscription_id = local.sub_ids["<%=cloudcode%>"]
    ├────────────────
    │ local.sub_ids is object with 9 attributes

The given key does not identify an element in this collection value.

surprizingly, it works for <%=instance.name>

it really stuck me in my project. Can you help me ?

Have you tried using <%=zone.code%>

yes i did

Error: Invalid index

  on local-variables.tf line 15, in locals:
  15:   subscription_id = local.sub_ids["<%=zone.code%>"]
    ├────────────────
    │ local.sub_ids is object with 9 attributes

The given key does not identify an element in this collection value.

Do you have a code set on that cloud or are you just trying to pass the name that shows up in the drop down?

5

what do you mean by “code set” ? Indeed I wan’t to pass the name that shows up in drop down.
I didn’t find it in the logs, so i tried to do this via customoptions, but nothing works as it should

I believe he is referring to the code that you can set for the cloud to be called via the API, etc.

Yes, everything si set up properly. variables are not properly accessible through terraform (at least in my use case).
For example, “<%=instance.name%>” works, but not “<%=instance.contextName%>”.
“<%=instance%>” replies a string representing a list containing several “key:value”, including contextName.
It’s incomprehensible.
