Alias fails when passed to child module.

[mavogel]

This issue was originally opened by @hongkongkiwi as https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-docker/issues/290. It was migrated here as a result of the community provider takeover from @kreuzwerker. The original body of the issue is below.

---

Terraform does not correctly handle aliases for this provider when passing to child module.

Terraform v0.13.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/terraform-providers/docker v2.7.2

For example, this will fail with error during terraform validate: Error: missing provider provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/docker"].foo

provider "docker" {
  alias = "foo"
  host = "tcp://127.0.0.1:2376/"
}

module "mycustommodule" {
  source = "./test2"
  providers = {
    docker = docker.foo
  }
}

Any plan to address this issue?

I can't reproduce this issue with the latest provider v2.11.0. Would you share code to reproduce this issue?

[madduci]

I can reproduce it with the v2.11.0 with this code and terraform 0.14:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    docker = {
      source  = "kreuzwerker/docker"
      version = ">= 2.11.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "docker" {
  alias = "foo"
  host = "tcp://127.0.0.1:2376/"
}

module "mycustommodule" {
  source = "./test2"
  providers = {
    docker = docker.foo
  }
}

The child module looks for the "registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/docker"

Seems to be working in 3.0.1.
