Index terrraform resources

In our Terraform infrastructure, we generate resources dynamically: a local script is executed and returns a list: something like that:

module "subdomains" {
  source = "../modules/subdomains"
}

module "cluster" {
  for_each = module.subdomains.subdomains

  source = "..."

  module_name  = each.value.subdomain_name
}

The strings in this list contains URL path, like:

"/subdomains/random.mydomain.com",
"/subdomains/another.mydomain.com",

How can I address these resources in command line, e.g.: terraform destroy --target=...

I have tried without success:

terraform destroy module.cluster["/subdomains/random.mydomain.com"]
╷
│ Error: Index value required
│ 
│   on  line 1:
│   (source code not available)
│ 
│ Index brackets must contain either a literal number or a literal string.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Solution

  • You need to use quotes, e.g.:

    $ terraform destroy -target='module.cluster["/subdomains/random.mydomain.com"]'
