Output CSV file using terraform

Question

I'm trying to use terraform variable data (CSV file) to create a resource group and the name of the resource group are added into the CSV file.

I'm currently experiencing the below error.

provider "azurerm" {
    features{}
}

locals {
      resource_groupname = csvdecode(file("./test.csv"))
    }

    resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
      count    = length(locals.resource_groupname)
      name     =  locals.resource_groupname[count.index].groupname   
      location = "North europe"
    }

Error Message

@Marcin thanks for reaching out .....find the error image here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WgpIuV3_PWtX2vNUTSN9gc0jEz50oS25/view?usp=sharing — Ogbebor Akpesiri, Jun 19 '21 at 09:06
Why your error does not match your code? The error says you have `name = data.locals.groupname[count.index].groupname` which is different than in your code. — Marcin, Jun 19 '21 at 09:56

Your code should be (assuming this time you posted correct code):

    resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
      count    = length(local.resource_groupname)
      name     =  local.resource_groupname[count.index].groupname   
      location = "North europe"
    }

Since ./test.csv is not shown its difficult to speculate on its content and the use in your code.

tried the above code got this error Error: Unsupported attribute │ │ on testtf.tf line 11, in resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main": │ 11: name = local.resource_groupname[count.index].groupname │ ├──────────────── │ │ count.index is a number, known only after apply │ │ local.resource_groupname is list of object with 3 elements │ │ This object does not have an attribute named "groupname". – Ogbebor Akpesiri Jun 19 '21 at 11:33
@OgbeborAkpesiri It's a new issue, thus I would suggest making a new question with example CSV file. The original error posted in your question has be successfully addressed. – Marcin Jun 19 '21 at 12:24

Suppose your CSV file has headers like name, location, ABC, XXY, CDF, your

then you use for_each as well here

locals {
      resource_groupname = csvdecode(file("./test.csv"))
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
    for_each = { for inst in locals.resource_groupname) : inst.location=> inst 
    }
      
    name = each.value.name
    location =  each.value.location
}
