Changes to a particular module are not being applied. Hence, I wanted to try using terraform apply --replace for a particular module. I tried this:

 terraform apply -replace="module.moduleName"

However, I get an error that:

A resource instance address is required here. The module path must be followed by a resource instance specification.

Now I am not sure what exactly is the instance address in this case. If it's a path, what path should I use? Should I enter the path from the file where i am running this terraform command to the file where the module is declared?

Resource addressing in TF is explain in docs.

Lets say, your module creates an ec2 instance. Then it should be:

terraform apply -replace="module.moduleName.aws_instance.web"
