Terraform 1.1.X: Using libvirt in child module

Terraform
1

I am trying to use libvirt in my child module, but I get an error.
Code:

terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.1.6"
required_providers {
  libvirt = {
    source  = "dmacvicar/libvirt"
    version = ">= 0.6.14"
  }
}
}

provider "libvirt" {
uri   = "qemu:///system"
alias = "local"
}
module "my_local_kvm_module" {

source = "../modules/KVM/kvm_vm"
providers = {
  libvirt = libvirt.local
}
some_vars="some_vals"
}

Error is quite strange:

The Terraform configuration must be valid before initialization so that
Terraform can determine which modules and providers need to be installed.

Looks like provider can’t be found inside module, the same code works with just resource sections instead of module.

Could You tell me how it should be configured ??

Thanks for Your help.

Best regards,

Hi @dawid.dacewicz.utm,

You will also need to include the required_providers block in the child module, because that’s how Terraform knows that “libvirt” in that module means dmacvicar/libvirt, rather than hashicorp/libvirt (which doesn’t exist).
