Error: Unsupported Terraform Core version

I have a simple terraform configuration as follows.

# Terraform settings Block
terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.0.0"
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm" # https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "azurerm" {
  features { }
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "rg" {
  name     = var.resource_group_name
  location = var.resource_group_location
}

When I run

terraform init

I get the following error.

╷
│ Error: Unsupported Terraform Core version

╵

If the required version is set the following way, it works fine(Changed ~> to >=).

required_version = ">= 1.0.0"

Looked at this doc, but not clear what to do. Should I revert back to required_version = ">= 1.0.0"

Just wanted to ensure that lastest minor is in place. Also read somewhere that for production, the one with tilde(~) is recommended. Bit confused now.

Solution

  • You have already installed TF version 1.2.2, which obviously is far newer then 1.0.0. If you want to use such an old version of TF, you have download older version of terraform, and use that to run your scripts.
