[shonaran]

Hi there,

Thank you for opening an issue. Please note that we try to keep the Terraform issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests. For general usage questions, please see: https://www.terraform.io/community.html.

Terraform Version

Run terraform -v to show the version. If you are not running the latest version of Terraform, please upgrade because your issue may have already been fixed. Terraform v0.11.1

• provider.aws v1.11.0
• provider.template v1.0.0

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• opc_instance
• opc_storage_volume .module.alb.data.aws_elb_service_account.main: configuration for module.cacti_app_az_1.module.alb.provider.aws is not present; a provider configuration block is required for all operations

Expected Behavior

What should have happened? I attempted to destroy the resources I created

Actual Behavior

What actually happened? Destroy failed with the above error

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply terraform destroy -force -var-file=../application/variables/prod-reg1.tfvars (This also happens with a terraform apply)

[loivis]

did you put provider configuration within the module?

[shonaran]

Yes. In the root, I placed the following: provider "aws" { region = "${var.stackregion}" }

provider "aws" { alias = "moduleprovider" region = "${var.stackregion}" }

At the top of main.tf, one layer below, I have: provider "aws" { region = "${var.region}" } This applies to the ALB and ASG modules.

In a workspace that was created a while ago, I cannot apply or destroy.

If I create a new workspace, I can apply or destroy.

I also upgraded to v 0.11.3. No difference. Terraform v0.11.3

• provider.aws v1.11.0
• provider.template v1.0.0

[shonaran]

Update: When I create a new workspace and use terraform apply, I do not see this problem. If I make a change to the code to create a second server using terraform apply again, I get the error. If I try to destroy from an old workspace, I get the same error again
