failed to check "aws_resource_missing_tags" rule: The aws provider with alias "backup_replication" doesn't exist #518

kayman-mk · 2023-07-21T14:48:41Z

Hi,

I have a problem with one of the rules: aws_resource_missing_tags rule complains about a missing provider, but terraform apply is able to create everything. So the provider is there. I enabled the debug logs but didn't found anything suspicious.

The problem was introduced with an update to the newest version. The last version working on our side is 0.23.1.

OS: Windows and Alpine Linux (Docker)
Terraform version: 1.3.2
Tflint version: 0.47
ruleset.aws: 0.24.2

Here is a minimal example:

main.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "5.7.0"
    }

  }

  required_version = ">= 0.13.0"
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-central-1"
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-west-1"
  alias  = "backup_replication"
}

locals {
  tags = {
    app: "a"
    environment: "b"
    service: "c"
    team: "d"
  }
}

module "m" {
  source = "./m"

  providers = {
    aws = aws
    aws.backup_replication = aws.backup_replication
  }
}

resource "aws_security_group" "a" {
  name = "xyz"
  vpc_id = "<your vpc>"

  tags = local.tags
}

resource "aws_security_group" "b" {
  name = "xyz-a"
  vpc_id = "<your-vpc>"

  tags = local.tags

  provider = aws.backup_replication
}

m/main.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "5.7.0"

      configuration_aliases = [aws.backup_replication]
    }

  }

  required_version = ">= 0.13.0"
}

locals {
  tags = {
    app: "a"
    environment: "b"
    service: "c"
    team: "d"
  }
}

resource "aws_security_group" "a" {
  name = "xyz-m"
  vpc_id = "<your vpc>"

  tags = local.tags
}

resource "aws_security_group" "b" {
  name = "xyz-m-a"
  vpc_id = "<your voc>"

  tags = local.tags

  provider = aws.backup_replication
}

.tflint.hcl

config {
  force               = false
  disabled_by_default = false
}

plugin "aws" {
  source  = "github.com/terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-aws"
  # renovate: datasource=github-tags depName=terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-aws
  version = "0.24.2"

  enabled    = true
  deep_check = true
  region     = "eu-central-1"
}

rule "aws_resource_missing_tags" {
  enabled = true
  tags    = ["team", "service", "app", "environment"]
}

rule "terraform_required_version" {
  enabled = false
}

Steps to reproduce:

terraform init
tflint --init --config .tflint.hcl
terraform apply # works fine
tflint --config .tflint.hcl --module --recursive # doesn't work

tflint --config .tflint.hcl --chdir m is working.

Just checked the last releases. Maybe it was introduced with #489 ?

wata727 · 2023-07-22T12:38:05Z

Thank you for reporting this.
Probably, this is a bug due to a lack of consideration of provider aliases within modules.

kayman-mk · 2023-07-24T05:55:43Z

Thanks for the quick fix, @wata727 It's working now as expected.
