Argument or block definition required error

Terraform
1

Hi All, I am a newbie with the terraform. I keep getting the block definition error for line item 39 but there is no statement in line item 39. Please see the code and let me know what i am missing. Thank you in advance.

resource "aws_vpc" "fcloud"{
  cidr_block = "10.10.0.0/16"
  instance_tenancy = "default"
  tags = {
    Name = "fcloud"
  }

resource "aws_subnet" "public_subnet"{
  count      = "${length(var.public_subnet_cidr_block)}"
  vpc_id     = "${aws_vpc.fcloud.id}"
  cidr_block = "${element(var.public_subnet_cidr_block, count.index)}"
   availability_zone = "${element(var.availability_zones, count.index)}"
  tags = {
  Name = "public_subnet_${count.index}"
  }

resource "aws_subnet" "private_subnet"{
  count      = "${length(var.private_subnet_cidr_block)}"
  vpc_id     = "${aws_vpc.fcloud.id}"
  cidr_block = "${element(var.private_subnet_cidr_block, count.index)}"
  availability_zone = "${element(var.availability_zones, count.index)}"
  tags = {
  Name = "private_subnet_${count.index}"
  }

resource "aws_subnet" "hr_subnet"{
  count      = "${length(var.hr_subnet_cidr_block)}"
  vpc_id     = "${aws_vpc.fcloud.id}"
  cidr_block = "${element(var.hr_subnet_cidr_block, count.index)}"
  availability_zone = "${element(var.availability_zones, count.index)}"
  tags ={
  Name  = "hr_subnet_${count.index}"
}

Hi @razee1984,
not sure if this is just a copy / paste error however your resources lack ending bracket }.
You might want to use an editor which supports tracking of such.

hi i did add the ending bracket but i still get the same error for the last line when i execute terraform init command.

Did you check the brackets on all of your code?

5

yes even re-wrote it several times. can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong with it.

6

could you repost your code an format it properly in triple back-ticks?

7

no brackets required here:

vpc_id = aws_vpc.fcloud.id

While reformatting your code, I noticed that there were additional quoting characters, etc…
