Output CSV file using terraform

Question

I'm trying to use terraform variable data (CSV file) to create a resource group and the name of the resource group are added into the CSV file.

I'm currently experiencing the below error.

provider "azurerm" {
    features{}
}

locals {
      resource_groupname = csvdecode(file("./test.csv"))
    }

    resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
      count    = length(locals.resource_groupname)
      name     =  locals.resource_groupname[count.index].groupname   
      location = "North europe"
    } 

Error Message

Answer 1

Your code should be (assuming this time you posted correct code):

    resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
      count    = length(local.resource_groupname)
      name     =  local.resource_groupname[count.index].groupname   
      location = "North europe"
    }

Since ./test.csv is not shown its difficult to speculate on its content and the use in your code.

Answer 2

Suppose your CSV file has headers like name, location, ABC, XXY, CDF, your

then you use for_each as well here

locals {
      resource_groupname = csvdecode(file("./test.csv"))
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "Main" {
    for_each = { for inst in locals.resource_groupname) : inst.location=> inst 
    }
      
    name = each.value.name
    location =  each.value.location
}
