Create kubernetes env block conditionally

Terraform
1

I have a situation where I want to create a number of env blocks for a kubernetes_deployment. The scenario is that I’m writing a re-usable module, that our apps can use, we pass in a variable, say use_email = true. Based on this var, the env block is created, or not. My idea was to use the likes of:

locals = {
email_vars = {
    "DJANGO_EMAIL_HOST" : "mail_smtp_endpoint"
    "DJANGO_EMAIL_PORT" : "mail_smtp_port"
    "DJANGO_EMAIL_USER" : "mail_smtp_user"
    "DJANGO_EMAIL_PASSWORD" : "mail_smtp_password"
    "DJANGO_EMAIL_DOMAIN" : "mail_smtp_domain"
  }
}

dynamic "env" {
            for_each = (var.use_email) ? local.email_vars : []
            content {
              name = env.key
              value_from {
                secret_key_ref {
                  name = local.environment_secret_name
                  key  = env.value
                }
              }
            }
          }

However, I am getting the error:

Error: Inconsistent conditional result types
│ 
│   on .terraform/modules/app_deploy/terraform/modules/application-deploy/main.tf line 310, in resource "kubernetes_deployment" "app_deployment":

│     ├────────────────

│     │ var.use_email is a bool, known only after apply
│ 
│ The true and false result expressions must have consistent types. The given expressions are object and tuple,

and I’m not sure how to progress, any advice would be welcome, thanks in advance.

I’ve figured this out and it was a stupid mistake on my part. originally the email_vars was a list of map objects, but I changed it to just a map, but failed to also change the else part of the conditional. Sorry to waste anyone’s time
