AWS CloudFront Origin OriginName Bug

Terraform Providers AWS
#1

Error

There is an error when creating AWS CloudFront distribution linked to AWS S3 bucket which is configured to redirect all requests.

The error origin is marked on line 98 in frontend/cloudfront.tf.

A Github Repo to re-create the issue is here:

https://github.com/subaquatic-pierre/s3-webapp-infrastructure

Note: You will need AWS Hosted zone for testing

Expected

Use

aws_s3_bucket_website_configuration.redirect.website_endpoint

as cloudfront Origin DomainName

instead of

aws_s3_bucket.redirect.bucket_domain_name

Error message

Error: error updating CloudFront Distribution (***): InvalidArgument: The parameter Origin DomainName does not refer to a valid S3 bucket.

Steps to reproduce error

  1. Clone repo

git clone git@github.com:subaquatic-pierre/s3-webapp-infrastructure.git

  1. Edit and rename terraform.tfvars.bak

  2. Run

terraform init

  1. Run

terraform apply

  1. Run

aws s3 cp index.html s3://$(terraform output main_bucket_name | tr -d \")/

  1. Go to domain_name in browser

terraform output domain_name

  1. Go to www_domain_name in browser

terraform output www_domain_name

I’ve been trying to figure this out for the past two days. There definitely is a bug because the output of “aws_s3_bucket.redirect-bucket.website_endpoint” is correct, but Terraform origin → domain_name results in InvalidArgument: The parameter Origin DomainName does not refer to a valid S3 bucket.
