Problem with Variables working through Cloud tutorial

Terraform HCP Terraform

I’m working through this tutorial and managed to set everything up ok.

On queuing the plan i get the following errors back relating to variables and unable to get to the bottom of it.

Terraform v0.13.0
Configuring remote state backend...
Initializing Terraform configuration...
e[33m
e[1me[33mWarning: e[0me[0me[1mValue for undeclared variablee[0m

e[0mThe root module does not declare a variable named "tag_user_name" but a value
was found in file "/terraform/terraform.tfvars". To use this value, add a
"variable" block to the configuration.

Using a variables file to set an undeclared variable is deprecated and will
become an error in a future release. If you wish to provide certain "global"
settings to all configurations in your organization, use TF_VAR_...
environment variables to set these instead.

Anyone any ideas on how to move forward with this? Thanks

Was hoping this was going to be a nice easy one to get up and running!

I’ve replicated your issue. Looks like a recent merge to VCS repo cause the break.
Looking into steps to resolve. There is an old branch of the VCS repo that still works.
If you go into the workspace settings > version control, you can set the VCS branch name to ‘add-username’ and queue the plan. It should then work.

We’ve reverted the merge and the learn content is again working as it should. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

thanks Larry,

Seeing it working on the branch add-username but not on the master branch yet.
