Terraform and Azure DevOps pipelines

Question

I am accessing the terraform module through the terraform code as shown below.

module "resourcegroup" {

  source = "git::https://github.com/hashicorp/example.git//azure-modules/resourcegroup"

}

I did the Terraform development through VS Code. I'm creating a build and release pipeline to automate the terraform tasks.

The release pipeline contains the Terraform tasks created using the Microsoft DevLabs extension:

• Install Terraform task.
• Terraform Init task which reads the Configuration Directory from the folder where the Build Pipeline places it.
• The Terraform plan and apply tasks.

The issue that I'm having is:

• The terraform files point to GitHub for building the modules, the release pipeline hangs in the task - Terraform Init.
• The error message is: 

Waiting for console output from an agent... (-input=false was also provided in the Terraform Init task under Additional command arguments but it didn't resolve the issue)

• There is no option to mention the Service Connection in the Release pipeline.

Answer 1

This error message is normal. Usually, the logs pop up after the completion of the pipeline. IF you want to view detailed logs please set "system. debug" as true in pipeline variables and re-run the pipeline.

I hope this helps.

Also, check that Terraform initialization fails in the Azure DevOps Pipeline. What could be the reasons?
