I’m struggling to get this running, as I don’t understand how the terraform test folder structure is working. My aim to define the folder structure like above where all terraform resources are in each subfolder of modules folder and the final terraform module declarative is in the root folder. What did I do wrong?

With terraform test you need to supply the provider configuration inside the test file (main.tftest.hcl) – the root module’s providers.tf is ignored for the test run.

add these to tests/main.tftest.hcl

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "~> 4.10.0"
    }
  }
}

Provider configuration used by the test run

providers {
  azurerm = {
    features = {}
  }
}

After adding the provider blocks to the test file, run:

terraform test -verbose

You should see the test proceed without the provider errors.
