Getting no such file or directory issue

[taragurung]

I am just trying to run simple terraform script with the package and getting the file not found issue even though the file exists.

I am running a python container and testing it inside it. Tried with both python3 and python2 but same problem.

Here is my python script

Here is my simple terraform script:

And this is the issue it is throwing: Tried passing both absolute and relative path. Doubled confirmed with file and directory

I believe running init first will take care of this. I always init before apply in any scripts I use this in. Mostly I run this in ci/cd pipelines.

@Spikeophant it fails during init as well, running this inside a container. However the same works fine if I run it outside a container

It doesn't appear that terraform is in the path of the container. In your python can you echo $PATH and see what it outputs, then run the container in interactive mode and echo $PATH and see if they match? I misunderstood your issue originally, thinking it couldn't find the .tf files, but it cannot find the terraform executable itself.

Ran into the same issue, terraform needed to be installed on the VM.
Hope it helps.
