I am making use of modules. And this is the structure of my files - modules

main.tf  
|--module1
|     |--main.tf
|     |--outputs.tf
|     |--variables.tf
|
|--module2
|     |--main.tf
|     |--outputs.tf
|     |--variables.tf

I have a main.tf file which runs two modules. When i run terraform output command it is expected to return the outputs instead it returns - "The state file either has no outputs defined, or all the defined outputs are empty. Please define an output in your configuration with the output keyword and run terraform refresh for it to become available. If you are using interpolation, please verify the interpolated value is not empty"

I would want to know why is this happening?

You need to redefine the outputs at the "root" level as well. I think this is a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/a/48091472/2291321 – ydaetskcoR Apr 27 '20 at 09:37
I am making use of remote state too – SiddhiMorajkar Apr 27 '20 at 09:53
What difference does that make? – ydaetskcoR Apr 27 '20 at 09:53
Oh okay. Just thought it might affect. – SiddhiMorajkar Apr 27 '20 at 09:57
So, does this mean after i declare a module block, i have to mention the output block too?\ – SiddhiMorajkar Apr 27 '20 at 09:59
Yes. I've closed this question as a duplicate for now but if there's something I've missed that means this isn't a duplicate of the linked question then let me know and edit the question to show why this isn't a duplicate of the linked question. – ydaetskcoR Apr 27 '20 at 10:21
@ydaetskcoR i have changed the question a bit. Hope that helps..your solution was about nested modules. I dont think i am using nested modules in here – SiddhiMorajkar Apr 27 '20 at 11:29
