Terraform: implementing Conditional Resources Not Being Created Based on Variable Input
I'm stuck trying to I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm experiencing a question with conditional resource creation in my Terraform configuration. I'm trying to create an S3 bucket only if a certain variable, `create_bucket`, is set to `true`. However, it seems that the bucket is not being created even when I set the variable to `true`. Here’s the relevant part of my Terraform code: ```hcl variable "create_bucket" { type = bool default = false } resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" { count = var.create_bucket ? 1 : 0 bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name" } ``` When I run `terraform apply` with the command: ```bash terraform apply -var 'create_bucket=true' ``` I see the following output: ``` No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration. ``` It seems like the condition for the `count` argument is not being evaluated as expected. I also tried using a local variable to store the value of `count`, but it didn't change the outcome. Here’s what that looked like: ```hcl locals { bucket_count = var.create_bucket ? 1 : 0 } resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" { count = local.bucket_count bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name" } ``` I still encounter the same result where no resources are created. I’ve verified that my variable is correctly passed through the command line and also tried hardcoding the value to `true` as well. What am I missing that prevents this bucket from being created when the condition is met? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Windows. What am I doing wrong? I'm developing on Ubuntu 20.04 with Hcl.
