Open davehodg opened 2 years ago

davehodg commented 2 years ago

Tring to do a terraform plan in terraform-remote-exec-example, I get:

% terraform plan
var.key_pair_name
  The EC2 Key Pair to associate with the EC2 Instance for SSH access.

  Enter a value: ^C
Interrupt received.
Please wait for Terraform to exit or data loss may occur.
Gracefully shutting down...

What's the all about? Google no help.

Hi, this means that variable key_pair_name wasn't defined for Terraform

In automated tests key_pair_name is populated automatically https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/blob/master/test/terraform_remote_exec_example_test.go#L79

If you try to run manually - create ec2 key pair in AWS and use the key name in key_pair_name variable
