Good morning. I tought I would share a workaround I put together to implement a missing “depends_on” support for modules. It is fairly simple and will be easy to swap out once Terraform implement built-in depends_on support. 1st, create a file called something like modult_depends_on.tf and throw th…

Thanks for sharing this tip, @bernardmaltais ! The key insight here is that variables are nodes in the dependency graph too, and so you can use them as a “hub” for passing dependencies across the module boundary. If using Terraform 0.12, this pattern is more straightforward because depends_on can r…

Thank you for this improved solution! Much cleaner. I will implement this in my modules in the future.

Thanks for the workaround… Tried this and it worked well…but sometimes I see this error Error: error updating S3 Bucket (mys3bucket) tags: error setting resource tags (mys3bucket): NoSuchBucket: The specified bucket does not exist status code: 404, request id: <>, host id: <> rerun fixes the iss…

I’ve found a similar issue on Azure when creating a subnet when the associated vnet wasn’t yet finished being created. Without a way force the subnet to wait for the network creation, the two ran in parallel and the subnet process always failed on the first run, but succeeded on subsequent runs bec…

@apparentlymart @bernardmaltais What role is the null_resource and it’s trigger playing here?

Hi @subhrajyoti_c , This is a very old topic and I no longer have the relevant context in my mind. If you have a question it would be helpful to start a new topic for it and share all of the context about your situation, and then we can have a discussion about what you’re working on in particular.
