I am trying to pass a variable from the root module to a child module with the following syntax and i'm unable to do that:
└── Terraform
├── main.tf
├── variable.tf
└── module

├── variable.tf
Terraform Version:
Terraform v0.11.11
+ provider.openstack v1.15.0
Terraform Configuration Files /Terraform/main.tf:

openstack_user_name = "${var.openstack_user_name}"

openstack_auth_url = "${var.openstack_auth_url}"
domain_name = "${var.domain_name}"
}
module "testMod" {
name = "${var.name}"

Error: module.testMod.openstack_compute_instance_v2.test: : invalid or unknown key: imageId
terraform init
terraform apply
Unsure what is going wrong here
The error is alerting you to the unknown keyimageId
. This message is accurate as, in fact, the key should be image_id
. You can check the Terraform openstack_compute_instance_v2 resource documentation and note the presence of the image_id argument.
Your code would then look like:
resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "test" {
name = "${var.name}"
image_id = "${var.imageId}"
flavor_name = "${var.flavor_name}"
openstack_keypair = "${var.openstack_keypair}"
security_groups = ["default"]
}
