Terraform: implementing Version Constraints for AWS Provider 5.0.0 in Module Dependencies
I've encountered a strange issue with I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm currently working on a Terraform project that uses the AWS provider version 5.0.0, and I'm working with issues with version constraints in my module dependencies. Specifically, I have a main configuration that includes multiple modules, and one of these modules requires a specific version of the AWS provider that is incompatible with the version specified in the root module. When I run `terraform init`, I get the following behavior: ``` behavior: Incompatible provider version The module "example-module" requires its own provider version constraints, but the version currently selected by the root module is incompatible. Please update your constraints to ensure that all module dependencies can be satisfied. ``` I've tried specifying provider versions explicitly in both the root and module-level configurations like this: ```hcl // Root module terraform { required_providers { aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "~> 5.0" } } } module "example-module" { source = "./example-module" providers = { aws = aws.example } } ``` And in the module's `main.tf`: ```hcl // Example module terraform { required_providers { aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "~> 4.0" } } } ``` Despite this setup, I keep receiving the same behavior. I considered upgrading the module to use the newer provider version, but I would prefer to keep it as is for now due to other dependencies. How can I resolve this version conflict without upgrading the module? Is there a best practice for handling such situations in Terraform when dealing with multiple modules with different provider constraints? What's the best practice here? This issue appeared after updating to Hcl 3.10. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
