provider not found, provider is there - v0.92

[alex1x]

I tried to follow this: https://opencredo.com/letsencrypt-terraform/

When using latest version terraform v 0.92 I get this error:

Error asking for user input: 2 error(s) occurred:

* module.acme-reg.acme_registration.reg: provider acme couldn't be found
* module.acme-cert.acme_certificate.certificate: provider acme couldn't be found

But see:

$ terraform-provider-acme 
This binary is a plugin. These are not meant to be executed directly.
Please execute the program that consumes these plugins, which will
load any plugins automatically

It ended up working with an older version (same used in the blogpost shown). I saw https://github.com/paybyphone/terraform-provider-acme/issues/9 -- wonder if similar update is required again for 0.92?

Hey @alex1x, I can't reproduce this with TF v0.9.2 and the v0.3.0 release of the plugin.

Remember that in addition to having downloaded the plugin, you also need to configure your .terraformrc. See the Plugin Basics page on the official site for more details. Let me know if you still encounter the problem after checking the page and reviewing your .terraformrc.

Thanks!

Hey, you were right, after configuring this in .terraformc it works as expected (I also see now that you clarify this on your README, sorry!); thanks for looking.

No problem, glad you figured it out! :)
