I want to add retry strategy in aws_batch_job_definition of HCL. I tried using:
retry_strategy = {
"attempts" = "2"
}
The deployment is giving me an error
{", "\u001b[0m", "An argument named \"retry_strategy\" is not expected here. Did you mean to", "define a block of type \"retry_strategy\"?", "\u001b[0m\u001b[0m"]}
What am I doing wrong?
I don't have an entire code block to show how the resource would look like, but the error is self-explanatory. What you are trying to do is assign a value to an argument named retry_stratagy
, which is actually a block (not argument), so the final outlook is:
retry_strategy {
attempts = 2
}
An example of the resource block with only required arguments:
resource "aws_batch_job_definition" "name" {
name = "value"
type = "container"
retry_strategy {
attempts = 2
}
}
Output of terraform plan
with the above configuration:
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# aws_batch_job_definition.name will be created
+ resource "aws_batch_job_definition" "name" {
+ arn = (known after apply)
+ id = (known after apply)
+ name = "value"
+ propagate_tags = false
+ revision = (known after apply)
+ tags_all = (known after apply)
+ type = "container"
+ retry_strategy {
+ attempts = 2
}
}
