terraform_docs hook reporting error when using --recursive-path

[leandrogattas]

Context

1. Terraform modules structure: ./modules/aws/amp ./modules/aws/ecr

2. pre-commit-config.yaml (just relevant part)

   • repo: https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform

     Source: https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform#terraform_docs

     rev: v1.76.0 hooks:

     • id: terraform_fmt
     • id: terraform_docs args:
       • '--args=--recursive'
       • '--args=--output-file=README.md'
       • '--args=--recursive-path=./modules/aws/'

When running precommit (e.g. pre-commit run --all-files) it reports an error as the intermediate folder is not existing (or similar)

Terraform docs...........................................................Failed
- hook id: terraform_docs

**Error: stat modules/aws: no such file or directory**

That folder is containing no file, but only the two folders for the ecr and amp modules.

This error should not appear (if I understand correctly how it should work).
