With upgrade to v3, terrafrom init in github actions fails with wrapper enabled

[pribanerjee]

We just upgraded to hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3 for our GitHub actions and it started failing in terraform init step with below error

/actions-runner/_temp/e6023f8c-517d-4123-8609-5827ed8f73a7/terraform:4342
      this._parser?.end()

Terraform Configuration Files:

      - name: Setup Terraform
        uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3
        with:
          terraform_version: '1.6.0'
          terraform_wrapper: true

It only works when we disable the terraform_wrapper, which is not expected as we would like to work with exit codes.

Please look into the issue.

Hey there @pribanerjee 👋🏻 ,

Can you confirm what version of NodeJS is running on your action runner? v3 was updated to run with node20 and the error presented looks like the NodeJS version running doesn't support optional chaining (introduced in Node 14).

Hey @austinvalle , we are using Node16 in our runner.So unless we upgrade to node20, we need to use with wrapper disabled?

[pribanerjee]

Also currently node16 is default version of the actions runners

[austinvalle]

The v3 release was in preparation for node16 being deprecated next year, so v3.0.0 and above will all be aimed at supporting Node20. It looks like the action runners were also preparing for that deprecation, but then reverted it after.

If you need support for versions prior to node20 you could continue using v2 as most changes between v2 and v3 are version bumps.
