Terraform init throwing error on Mac M1 (Darwin)

[tavsec]

Hello everyone!
I was following this tutorial: https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/tutorials/autoscaler/horizontal-cluster-scaling, and got stuck on terraform init step. Once I run terraform init, I get the following errors:

First I was following the tutorial on #learn branch (as instruted in the tutorial), after that I tried main branch, but the error still persists.

This is my terraform -v output:

Terraform v1.3.7
on darwin_arm64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v2.70.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/local v2.1.0

+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/null v3.1.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/random v3.1.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/template v2.2.0

Thanks, and have a nice day!

Short update, after running terraform init -upgrade, I narrowed the problem down to one error:

Upgrading modules...
- hashistack_cluster in ../modules/aws-hashistack
- hashistack_jobs in ../../../shared/terraform/modules/shared-nomad-jobs

Hi @tavsec and thanks for raising this issue. It seems the hashicorp/template provider has been archived and we should be using builtin template function instead. The demos will therefore need to be updated in order to work on Apple silicon and is something we will need to look into.

Hey @jrasell, thank you for reply!
Will wait until then :)

Hi @tavsec, I have raised #46 to update the AWS Terraform code which I have tested as much as I can, but I don't have an M1. If you're interested in running the demo, please try that PR and let me know how you find it.

@jrasell I can confirm that #46 did resolve the issue, so I'm closing this issue. Thank you for quick fix!
