Thanks Hugo, what do the infracost logs show?

  Terraform command failed with:

    Error: Required plugins are not installed
35
    The installed provider plugins are not consistent with the packages selected

Ran this with a terraform init after as well to see if it was just an issue where it was unneccessarily expecting an init before running it remotely but it then had issues with expecting all of the variables locally as well

Terraform command failed with:
37
    Error: No value for required variable

Terraform command failed with:
37
    Error: No value for required variable

This error was from the init or the plan?

that error is when i tried adding the init command before the infracost breakdown command to see if it would help but thats it trying to plan locally as it listed all of the variables as being unset, when the variables are all set in the cloud workspace and it plans normally with the same code if i just trigger a plan in terraform cloud directly

Can you try this? https://gist.github.com/aliscott/5fc75c3323abed465252c487d21910f8 I’ve changed it so it uses the Terraform CLI directly to trigger a speculative run and then pulls the plan JSON from the TFC API here: https://gist.github.com/aliscott/5fc75c3323abed465252c487d21910f8#file-test-yml-L20-L35 It then passes that plan JSON into Infracost, so Infracost is never uses the terraform binary directly: https://gist.github.com/aliscott/5fc75c3323abed465252c487d21910f8#file-test-yml-L45

Thank you very much for quick responses, tried this and had same sort of issue but issue may have been version discrepancy problem where one was setup for remote and the other for cloud as the terraform versions seemed off. Have forced an update on them locally and configured cloud one and seems to be working now

Great! Out of interest does this fix the old method as well or does it only work for you when you generate the plan JSON before running Infracost?

Old method does seem to work but it needs the terraform init command everytime to init with Terraform Cloud otherwise it complains

Terraform command failed with:
    Error: Terraform Cloud initialization required: please run "terraform init"

Ah thank you! It looks like our auto init detection is missing that error message. I’ll add a fix for that for the next release.

Thank you very much for your quick help, was awesome and much appreciated 🙂

Thanks! We’ve just released the auto init fix in v0.9.16 (released about an hour ago).
