Which terraform version are you using?

Hi @KamenYovchev,

It looks like your plan.tf file isn’t a valid Terraform source file.

My first guess here would be that you ran terraform plan -out=plan.tf and so you now have a saved plan file with a filename that suggests that it is a Terraform configuration file. If so, you could fix this by deleting plan.tf and then creating your saved plan with a different name that doesn’t use a suffix that Terraform uses for another purpose. A typical filename for a saved plan file is tfplan.
