Hi @voroniys,
Since you are using Terraform 0.12 you can use the templatefile
built-in function instead of this data source. The data source continues to exist primarily to support Terraform 0.11 users and provides no significant advantages for 0.12 users. In fact, it has disadvantages like this one specifically because it is built around Terraform 0.11 limitations.
@apparentlymart Although the OP's example suggests this functionality for the template_file
data source - the templatefile
function workaround isn't appropriate for workflows that have to use the template_dir
resource that's also part of this provider.
Usecase: Populating a directory of yaml
files for consumption in Kubernetes that currently have every IP address and image tag set as individual variables.
Hi there,

on kops_config.tf line 3, in data "template_file" "config": 3: vars = {
Inappropriate value for attribute "vars": element "availability_zones": string required.
Expected Behavior
Since in templates %{for } loops now possible I would expect there is a way to pass the list to template as variable
