Adding provider as directed on registry.terraform.io fails

Terraform Providers AWS
1

Attempting to create a new AWS environment using the suggested provider stanza from https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs fails with

Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding hashicorp/aws versions matching ">= 3.70.0"...
╷
│ Error: Failed to query available provider packages
│ 
│ Could not retrieve the list of available versions for provider hashicorp/aws: no available releases match the given
│ constraints >= 3.70.0

the actual provider stanza being used is

terraform {
  required_version = "1.1.2"
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "3.70.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  # Configuration options
}

However, if I set the version to version = ">= 3.0.0" it does pull release 3.22.0.

Hm, it works for me :slight_smile:
Which platform are you running on? Does the error message change if you use terraform init -upgrade ?

3

Running Fedora 35. And get the same message regardless and tops out at AWS provider 3.22.0. --upgrade gives the same message. Also, if it matters, AWS CLI 2.4.6 is installed.

Same issue with fedora 34.

Was hoping for a Christmas miracle but no such luck. I cannot get any AWS provider >3.22.0. What I also see is that is interesting is that it’s “unauthenticated”.

Which terraform version are you using?
Well, the version lock points to 1.1.2.

7

Running with 1.1.2 but also tried with a few earlier versions.

Could you check or (re)move ~/.terraform.d/plugins/ and try again?

Do you have a ~/.terraformrc?

No…but I did have a ~/.terraform.d. Once I moved that aside, it worked as expected. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
