I am trying to pass a variable from the root module
to a child module
with the following syntax:
main.tf:
provider "aws" {
version = "~> 1.11"
access_key = "${var.aws_access_key}"
secret_key = "${var.aws_secret_key}"
region = "${var.aws_region}"
}
module "iam" {
account_id = "${var.account_id}"
source = "./modules/iam"
}
* account_id value is stored on variables.tf in the root folder
/modules/iam/iam.tf
resource "aws_iam_policy_attachment" "myName" {
name = "myName"
policy_arn = "arn:aws:iam::${var.account_id}:policy/myName" <-- doesnt work
groups = []
users = []
roles = []
}
when I try to access within the module to account_id
an error is thrown.
You need to declare any variables that a module uses at the module level itself:
variable "account_id" {
}
resource "aws_iam_policy_attachment" "myName" {
name = "myName"
policy_arn = "arn:aws:iam::${var.account_id}:policy/myName"
groups = []
users = []
roles = []
}
