Getting no such file or directory issue

[taragurung]

I am just trying to run simple terraform script with the package and getting the file not found issue even though the file exists.

I am running a python container and testing it inside it. Tried with both python3 and python2 but same problem.

Here is my python script

Here is my simple terraform script:

And this is the issue it is throwing: Tried passing both absolute and relative path. Doubled confirmed with file and directory

I believe running init first will take care of this. I always init before apply in any scripts I use this in. Mostly I run this in ci/cd pipelines.

@Spikeophant it fails during init as well, running this inside a container. However the same works fine if I run it outside a container

It doesn't appear that terraform is in the path of the container. In your python can you echo $PATH and see what it outputs, then run the container in interactive mode and echo $PATH and see if they match? I misunderstood your issue originally, thinking it couldn't find the .tf files, but it cannot find the terraform executable itself.

I am not using docker, just trying to use terraform through Python on a VM through a simple python code.

from python_terraform import * tf = Terraform(working_dir='/root/terraform',variables={'azure_pass':passw, 'resource_group_name':"testrgpython" ,'resource_location':"eastus"}) approve = {"auto-approve": True} tf.plan()

And this gives the error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/python_terraform/init.py", line 154, in plan return self.cmd('plan', *args, **options) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/python_terraform/init.py", line 293, in cmd cwd=working_folder, env=environ_vars) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 729, in init restore_signals, start_new_session) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 1364, in _execute_child raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'terraform': 'terraform'

.tf does exist in working directory

Ran into the same issue, terraform needed to be installed on the VM. Hope it helps.
