I'm trying to add kubectl provider for terraform module and I follow the docs from Terraform kubectl. I run terraform init and provider is installed with success but when I try to add a sample config, for ex: ( or thers from here )
resource "kubectl_server_version" "current" {}and run terraform plan I got the following msg:
Error: Could not load plugin
Failed to instantiate provider "registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubectl" to
obtain schema: unknown provider "registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubectl"
and when I tun terraform init ( with the resource in place in module k8s )
Error: Failed to install provider
Error while installing hashicorp/kubectl: provider registry
registry.terraform.io does not have a provider named
registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubectl
some outputs:
$terraform plugins

$terraform -v
Terraform v0.13.4

....
some config files:
terraform.tf
terraform {
required_version = "0.13.4"
backend "gcs" {
...
}
required_providers {
kubernetes = {
source = "hashicorp/kubernetes"
version = "1.13.2"
}
kubectl = {
source = "gavinbunney/kubectl"
version = "1.9.1"
}
....
terraform successfully init the gavinbunney/kubectl provider but when I add resource "kubectl_manifest" ... in k8s.module terraform is trying to load hashicorp/kubectl provider
what i'm missing? :)
It seems that if you leave only the kubernetes provider, the kubectl provider works just fine. Means, no need to declare kubernetes and kubectl providers.
In my case it was due to referencing kubectl resources in a module, but the module needed the provider adding to required_providers within the module:
terraform {
required_providers {
kubectl = {
source = "gavinbunney/kubectl"
version = "x.x.x"
}
}
}
Seems like the problem was that I had the resource "kubectl_server_version" "current" {} among with other resources from hashicorp/kubernetes resources in same module and terraform was trying to load kubectl from hashicorp/kubectl.
When I added gavinbunney/kubectl's resources in main.tf all works good :)
When I read the file cat .terraform/plugins/selections.json, I hunderstand that the package is not realy well installed.
In my project, I did :
cp -R .terraform/plugins/registry.terraform.io/gavinbunney/kubectl .terraform/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorpand after:
terraform initThis look to resolve the problem.
To resolve this issue you can look into terraform state replace-provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubectl gavinbunney/kubectl
