How to use taint for a nested module?

[Jef Statham]

Been trying to taint a resource in a module without any success. I don't understand what the path is supposed to be for the -module=path option. Is the path suppose to be the module name in the root or the source path the module?

My modules are in a folder. 

-- prod

    main.tf

-- module

   -- product

       main.tf

       -- feature

           aws_ecs_proxy.tf

           

prod/main.tf

module "product" {

  source = "../modules/product"

}

module/product/main.tf

module "feature" {

  source = "feature"

}

My understanding is the following should work

/prod $ terraform taint -module=product.feature proxy

The module root.product.feature could not be found. There is nothing to taint.

/prod $ terraform taint -module=product proxy

The module root.product could not be found. There is nothing to taint.

Hi Jef,

I just set up a similar test and the dot notation seems to be working for me.

.

├── child

│   ├── grandchild

│   │   └── main.tf

│   └── main.tf

└── main.tf

main.tf

module "child" {

  source = "./child"

}

child/main.tf

module "grandchild" {

  source = "./grandchild"

}

child/main.tf

resource "aws_vpc" "foo" {

  cidr_block = "10.0.1.0/24"

}

$ terraform apply

# ...

Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

$ terraform taint -module=child.grandchild aws_vpc.foo

The resource aws_vpc.foo in the module root.child.grandchild has been marked as tainted!

If you're still having an issue w/ the latest version of Terraform, feel free to file a GitHub issue!
