open \.terraform.d/plugins/windows_amd64: The system cannot find the path specified.

Hai Everyone, when running terraformer I'm facing open .terraform.d/plugins/windows_amd64: The system cannot find the path specified.

I have downloaded the [.exe ] (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer/releases/download/0.8.24/terraformer-all-windows-amd64) file from release page. then I have renamed the exe to terraformer and moved the exe to D://terraformer

• I was able to run the terraformer --version (got the result as version v0.8.24)

I have a use-case I'm trying, the following is the prerequiesites folder structure (added image at the end) Iacfolder | localmain.tf |_ provider.tf

provider.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "5.26.0"
    }
  }
}

# Configure the AWS Provider
provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
  access_key = "acces_key"
  secret_key = "sec_key"
}

localmain.tf

terraform {
  backend "local" {
    path = "terraform.tfstate"
  }
}

I ran terraform init , it generated .terrform folder

but when I run terraformer import aws --resources=s3 --regions=us-east-1 getting following error message 2024/04/19 15:57:45 aws importing region us-east-1 2024/04/19 15:57:45 open .terraform.d/plugins/windows_amd64: The system cannot find the path specified.

Your help much appreciated , Thanks in advance

windows_386 looks like you may be on a 32 bit machine instead of 64 bit?

[chetan-alti]

Hai @dhilgarth , Thank for your response. I'm using the 64 bit machine.

But I was able to resolve the issue.

What I did

Update the terraform version to v1.8.0 , earlier I was using the older version of terraform. After this it ran smoothly

I could not exactly deduce the root cause, but updating the terraform version resolved :)
