I have same error.
terraform plan works properly but VSCode extension refers wrong version even it's defined on providers.tf
It seems VSCode extension refers v4.51.0, not 5.3.0.
providers.tf
terraform {
required_providers {
cloudflare = {
source = "cloudflare/cloudflare"
version = ">= 5.3.0"
}
random = {
source = "hashicorp/random"
}
}
required_version = ">= 1.2"
}
# Providers
provider "cloudflare" {
api_token = var.cloudflare_token
}
My environment
$ terraform version
Terraform v1.11.4
on darwin_arm64
$ tfenv list
* 1.11.4 (set by /opt/homebrew/Cellar/tfenv/3.0.0/version)
A workaround I found:
- Open and focus the file that shows the error
- CMD+SHIFT+P – Run
HashiCorp Terraform: init current folder - Edit one character in the file and save it
In my case, the errors consistently disappeared and I could at least keep on editing. Interestingly, it keeps on working when I close and reopen the editor, so I'm not sure what is causing the hiccup.
@squidfunk it doesn't work for me, still refers to v4.51.0 😔 I'm getting the error in a module file, maybe that's the difference
@domenikk I was also getting the error in a module file in a multi-module / environment project. Maybe try to remove the .terraform folder and run terraform init again, then apply the workaround. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
@squidfunk I managed to make it work, thank you!
Running HashiCorp Terraform: init current folder from VSCode menu was apparently timing out (silently) after 30 seconds, so I tried terraform init from the terminal and then the correct version was picked up.
Ideally, this VSCode extension should load the version based on the provider constraint even in module files, but the workaround allows me to ignore this issue for now.
