Do you have a file in this folder where you declare all the parameters of the module?

The module “targetgroup-rimu” {} stanza in main.tf is calling a module and setting some parameters, these parameters need to be defined in the module, else the reference call will fail. https://www.terraform.io/docs/modules/index.html
