I am trying to deploy a new infrastructure using terraform (for the first time) and I am getting the following error. I've tried everything but nothing seems to fix the issue.

Looks like it is asking for a provider hashicorp/azure ?

Can anyone help please??

Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/azure...
- Finding hashicorp/azurerm versions matching "2.98.0"...
- Installing hashicorp/azurerm v2.98.0...
- Installed hashicorp/azurerm v2.98.0 (signed by HashiCorp)

lucas@Azure:~$ terraform providers

Providers required by configuration:
.
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm] 2.98.0
└── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azure]

The code that I am using to create the infrastructure is the below:

  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "=2.98.0"
    }

  features {}

My terraform version is: Terraform v1.1.5 and I am using on Azure CLI via bash.

Any idea of what is causing this issue and how to fix it?

Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

This often happens when one accidentally specifies "hashicorp/azure" instead of "hashicorp/azurerm" in the required_providers block. Did you check the "vm" module referenced in the "azure_instance" module calls? There might be an erroneous "hashicorp/azure" specified there.
