open terraform/resource_backend_override.tf: no such file or directory

[Sandeep Dubey]

Hi,

I have been trying to do a POC to runTerraform plan and apply from my local concourse setup to AWS account. However, I am getting attached error which unable to fix. While looking for error message I could see that it's related to some override key/value in more than one file, But even after removing all the reference and keeping that in pipeline confi only, I am still struck on same issue.

Error: "open terraform/resource_backend_override.tf: no such file or directory"

That error is saying the terraform directory given to terraform_source doesn't exist. I added a better error message here to hopefully make that more clear. I'm guessing you want terraform_source: srcrepo/terraform or similar. The source_dir: "/tmp/build/put/git" value also looks suspicious, you probably want srcrepo as well although I'm not sure why you would need to reference the source directory as a variable in the first place.

Thanks @ljfranklin for your response and suggestion. The error is vanished.
