Import multiple AWS resources using modules

[al...@victorops.com]

I have three subnets that I would like to import into Terraform using a module I have created. From what I can tell the import command should look like this. 

terraform import module.network.aws_subnet.public_subnet[0] subnet-xxxx

where the module code looks like

resource "aws_subnet" "public_subnet" {
  count                   = "${length(var.public_subnets)}"
  vpc_id                  = "${aws_vpc.vpc.id}"
  cidr_block              = "${lookup(var.public_subnets, element(data.aws_availability_zones.available.names, count.index))}"
  availability_zone       = "${element(data.aws_availability_zones.available.names, count.index)}"
  map_public_ip_on_launch = true
}

Terraform comes back with 

no matches found: module.network.aws_subnet.public_subnet[0]

This topic seems to be related but has no answer.

I am wondering if this is even possible at this time?

Thanks,

Alex

I have successfully imported subnets with exactly that syntax. I can generate lots of different errors related to this pattern, but I can't duplicate any error that says "no matches found". Can you post the actual full output of the import command?

Also, what version of Terraform are you using?

I am using 

terraform version
Terraform v0.11.5
+ provider.aws v1.14.1

The full output, even with TF_LOG set to trace is

terraform import module.network.aws_subnet.public_subnet[0]subnet-xxxxxx
zsh: no matches found: module.network.aws_subnet.public_subnet[0]

Ah, sounds like your shell is trying to interpret the `[0]` part as a filename glob and dying before it ever even executes terraform. I'm not very familiar with zsh, but I would try wrapping the resource path in quotes:

    terraform import "module.network.aws_subnet.public_subnet[0]" subnet-xxxxxx

Yep, that is totally it. Works now. Thanks for your help David!
