Terrascan not able to read modules within a subdirectory

[jlunaq]

terrascan v1.3.3
MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

Hey there ,

I'm currently working with terraform modules hosted on github, I found that terrascan is able to read the modules when they are in the root directory.
However I found an issue with a module which is in a subdirectory, like this:

source = "git@github.com:company/module.git//modules/base?ref=v2.0.0"

In this particular case is where I'm getting this error

<nil>: Failed to read module directory; Module directory /Users/jluna/my-project/git@github.com:company/module.git/modules/roles does not exist or cannot be read.

Thanks in advance

Hello, any update

[devang-gaur]

@jlunaq is that module (inside the subdirectory) being consumed by the root directory module ?

[jlunaq]

Yep, sorry I forgot to mention that.

From the root module I am consuming the other module like this.

module "project_owner_role" {
  source = "../roles"

  ...
}

Note that I'm using a relative path ../roles not sure how this could be affecting the way terrascan reads the modules

I'm having the same issues I think where the root module is consuming child module from remote sources
