this works fine here; can you please include more information as to how you've hit this? running commands with the --debug flag will provide more useful information.

$ cf-terraforming generate -t $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN --resource-type cloudflare_record -a <account_id>  --zone <zone> --verbose

ok, this is different to your issue repro. have you tried without the account argument? you shouldn't be providing them both in the same invocation.

you'll also want to confirm you have a working and initialised Terraform directory to operate this binary from.

I am facing the same issue.

Note that cf-terraforming uses the actual Terraform provider you have installed in your config. So it needs to run from a valid Terraform setup locally.

Ensure that terraform validate passes in the same directory, and importantly, that the Cloudflare provider doesn't depend on any Terraform input variables or it will fail with this cryptic error- I had planned to pass the API key as an input var rather than using an env var and this tripped me up.
