Allow multiple providers of the same kind in a JSON tf

[sparkprime]

This is probably not the correct way to do this, but it allows accepting JSON of the form:

"provider": [
    {
        "google": {
            "alias": "us-central1",
            "account_file": "../service_account_key.json",
            "project": "abiding-truth-649",
            "region": "us-central1"
        }
    },
    {
        "google": {
            "alias": "europe-west1",
            "account_file": "../service_account_key.json",
            "project": "abiding-truth-649",
            "region": "europe-west1"
        }
    }
],

I personally no-longer need this, as I am now generating 1 tf file per provider (and letting Terraform merge the tfs internally).

If we can add a test for this this LGTM. If you don't need it anymore @sparkprime then we'll do it.

Yeah I'm neck deep in something else right now. I'm also not sure if special-casing the provider is a very good idea.

So what happened here? This isn't supported?

[phinze]

@devth Sounds like it wasn't supported last May, and the workaround was to write one JSON file per provider. The HCL loading code has changed pretty significantly since then, so it's entirely possible that it works now. Feel free to open a fresh issue if something is not working for you! 👍

Confirm that it works, at least for terraform v0.11.7 😉
