[EugenKon]

Terraform Core Version

Terraform v1.6.4

AWS Provider Version

registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v4.67.0

Affected Resource(s)

data "archive_file" "dnsUrlRedirects" resource "aws_lambda_function" "dnsUrlRedirects"

Expected Behavior

The path should be relative

Actual Behavior

The path is absolute

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet

Terraform Configuration Files

data "archive_file" "dnsUrlRedirects" {
  type        = "zip"
  source_file = "${path.module}/lambda-function/index.js"
  output_path = "${path.module}/lambda-function/urlRedirects.zip"
}

Steps to Reproduce

terraform plan -generate-config-out=billing_policy.tf.import

Hey @EugenKon 👋 Thanks for taking the time to raise this! We don't recommend path.module because it can have different results, much like you're seeing here. The document I linked has a couple of other suggestions, but since this is related to Terraform Core rather than the AWS Provider itself, I'll be closing this issue.
