Variable causes conflict

[mreferre]

This variable that has been added for local tests causes incompatibilities in Proton with terraform init:

variable "environment" {
  type = object({
    inputs = object({
      kubernetes_version           = any
      cluster_name                 = any
      vpc_cidr                     = any
      user                         = any
      aws_load_balancer_controller = any
      metrics_server               = any
      aws_for_fluentbit            = any
      cert_manager                 = any
      vpa                          = any
      karpenter                    = any
    })
  })
  default = {
    inputs = {
      kubernetes_version           = "1.21"
      cluster_name                 = "proton-blueprint-cluster"
      vpc_cidr                     = "10.0.0.0/16"
      user                         = "<user>"
      aws_load_balancer_controller = true
      metrics_server               = true
      aws_for_fluentbit            = true
      cert_manager                 = true
      vpa                          = true
      karpenter                    = true
    }
  }
}

There are some problems with the configuration, described below.

The Terraform configuration must be valid before initialization so that
Terraform can determine which modules and providers need to be installed.
╷

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Changing the variable from environment to environment_for_local_test apparently has resolved the init issue.

I have already made this change.

Can you confirm we can leave it like that and this would still enable you to test outside of Proton?

We can remove and keep this for local testing. We should discuss with the team however as this will be something I suspect many customers will want for local debugging.

Yes this is definitely something we need to figure out.
