Steps To Reproduce

1. Open up a terraform dir and attempt to use the autocompletion / intellisense.

.
├── backends.tf
├── database.tf
├── dns.tf
├── files
│   └── static_site
│       ├── index.html
│       └── robots.txt

Expected Behavior

Intellisense / Autocomplete should work As in attached screenshot I should get a autocomplete option for resource

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens

Other Notes

• I have had this mac for a few months now and always had this issue. I only have found time to file this report.

• I have tried both the arm and the amd versions of terraform with no luck. Also brew where it puts it in /opt/brew/bin/terraform.

• Installing terraform-ls via brew install terraform-ls does not fix it.

Update:

Just fixed it, its amazing what filing a bug report can do for my own troubleshooting!

The language association was set to hcl which I thought was correct, but it needed to be set to terraform and now it works.

The language association was set to hcl which I thought was correct, but it needed to be set to terraform and now it works.

I will just add that the best practice we recommend to follow is not to change the default file associations. The extension should be able to figure this out automatically as per https://github.com/hashicorp/vscode-terraform/blob/bd7035aea6509e6c744a441eca6fe9c02290dc06/package.json#L54-L72

Also we have plans to soon address the other (not Terraform) HCL files via https://github.com/hashicorp/vscode-terraform/issues/639
