Terraform Module is erroring out "Error: module "customer-services": "APIGW_CUSTOMER_DOMAIN_FLAG" is not a valid argument"

I am having a Variable “APIGW_CUSTOMER_DOMAIN_FLAG” in the variable.tf file with the default value as “false”. I am passing the value to a variable in a module called customer-services. In the customer-serivces module, the same variable has been declared in variable file and referenced in a S3 object resource creation. I am getting the error as

Error: module “customer-services”: “APIGW_CUSTOMER_DOMAIN_FLAG” is not a valid argument

But it is working in other location where when pulled from master branch as part of the automation.

This is interesting:

Is it possible the location where you are seeing the error has a different version of the module, one which doesn’t include the variable in question? You might need to upgrade the module ( terraform get -upgrade can be used to get the latest versions of modules, though if your configuration has a pinned module version it will not upgrade beyond that version).
