Error reading tfstate: 0.12 error

[nickelghost]

Hello, the program is not working for me because of that error. I have a terraform.tfstate file generated with 0.12 in the directory where I'm running the command. The state includes one aws_instance. I'm on macOS Catalina.

 ~/Documents/Code/infrastructure   master ●  ansible --inventory-file=/usr/local/bin/terraform-inventory all -m ping

I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/adammck/terraform-inventory/issues/131

I wasn't sure so I created a separate issue
