PROVIDER ISSUES

PLEASE NOTE: Terraform has split out the builtin Providers into their own repositories. For any Provider issues, please open all issues and pull requests in the corresponding repository. An index of supported Providers can be found here:

• https://github.com/terraform-providers

All other issues (that appear to affect multiple or all providers) may be an issue with Terraform's core, and should be opened here.

1 error(s) occurred:

• module.apigwccm-codecommit.aws_iam_user_ssh_key.user: 1 error(s) occurred:

• module.apigwccm-codecommit.aws_iam_user_ssh_key.user: file: open C:\Users\alag\git\GITSoftwareAG\software-ag-cloud.wm-apigw-cloud\terraform\apigw-cmm.terraform\modules\068b1ba3c31927074d5747be94ff52df/keypair/keypair.pub: The system cannot find the path specified. in:

${file("${path.module}/keypair/keypair.pub")}

Expected Behavior

What should have happened?
Should read the file content and pass it into public_key of aws_iam_user_ssh_key . Instead gives an error. This works for the below configuration for aws_key_pair. Why doesn't this work for the resource aws_iam_user_ssh_key.

resource "aws_key_pair" "apigwccm-ec2-keypair" {
key_name = "${format("%s-ec2-keypair",var.APIGWCCM_PROJECT_NAME)}"
public_key = "${file("${path.module}/keypair/keypair.pub")}"
}

Actual Behavior

What actually happened?
Gives the error
1 error(s) occurred:

• module.apigwccm-codecommit.aws_iam_user_ssh_key.user: 1 error(s) occurred:

• module.apigwccm-codecommit.aws_iam_user_ssh_key.user: file: open C:\Users\alag\git\GITSoftwareAG\software-ag-cloud.wm-apigw-cloud\terraform\apigw-cmm.terraform\modules\068b1ba3c31927074d5747be94ff52df/keypair/keypair.pub: The system cannot find the path specified. in:

${file("${path.module}/keypair/keypair.pub")}

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply

[Manoj2087]

I think the issue issue was due to the modules. A terraform get -update seems to have fixed the issue. Closing the issue
