Empty provider warning

[art049]

Hi, I'm currently having a warning while running terraform apply/plan/delete.

Not sure it's a big deal but here is the bug report:

│ Warning: Empty provider configuration blocks are not required
│ 
│   on .terraform/modules/tf_next/provider.tf line 2:
│    2: provider "aws" {
│ 
│ Remove the aws.global_region provider block from module.tf_next. Add aws.global_region to the list of configuration_aliases for aws in required_providers to define the
│ provider configuration name.

Terraform version: v0.15.4 on linux_amd64
Terraform module version: 9.0.1
tf-next npm version: 0.7.0

I'd be happy to help on this if it's needed 😄

Hi, thanks for the report.

Yes, I am aware of this warning.
It is raised by the way we forward the aws global provider internally to the module that handles the CloudFront distribution.

Terraform v0.15 introduced a new way (configuration_aliases) to handle this and raises a deprecation warning when it detects a usage of the former syntax.

Fixing this would mean that we need to increase the minimum Terraform version for this module from v0.13 to v0.15 since the new syntax is not supported in older versions.

Given that v0.15 was released in April I would wait at least until October (~6 months) to make this step to give users enough time to upgrade to a newer Terraform release fist.

This has now been fixed in v0.10.0.
