hello, I just upgraded from terraform 0.12.29 to terraform 0.13.3, and following the documentation where I had to adjust the plugins directory to the new standard, but I’m still having some problems.

the provider file is in the path below:

C:\Users\rodrigore\AppData\Roaming\terraform.d\plugins\registry.terraform.io\hashicorp\aws\3.8.0\windows_amd64

follows the error below:

Error: Failed to install provider

I am also having the same issue with terraform.

Hi

My issue got resolved by moving Terraform files to a folder whole length was small.
I moved right under c:\test folder for example and it worked. Earlier it was c:\user…\ was too long. Please try the same and see if that helps.

#7

Hi
I don’t think length of the path is a problem, I was able to run terraform from a much larger path in the same root folder

#8

you could be right but it definitely worked for me.

#9

worth a try but leave it with you

#10

I somehow managed to get it to work
Initially the path was - C:\Users\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\h\i\j
It worked only in path - C:\Users\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\h
Not working even in path - C:\Users\a\b\c\d\e\f\g
WEIRD!
Problem is I am not obliged to further simplify the path :expressionless:

#11

it worked… i created a folder in the c drive instead of the Users folder and it worked…

I don’t know what is the logic… may be something changed in the terraform 14.5…

but thank you so much … Shailender
