"Invalid attribute in provider configuration" error when running upstream/aws/rke recipe

[kourosh7]

running terraform plan on the upstream/aws/rke recipe throws the following error after filling in the required variables in terraform.tfvars:

Invalid attribute in provider configuration

  with module.rancher_install.provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubernetes"],
  on ../../../../modules/rancher/provider.tf line 7, in provider "kubernetes":
   7: provider "kubernetes" {

'config_path' refers to an invalid path: "/tmp/tf-rancher-up/recipes/upstream/aws/rke/kourosh-maneshni_kube_config.yml": stat /tmp/tf-rancher-up/recipes/upstream/aws/rke/kourosh-maneshni_kube_config.yml: no such file or directory

It seems like it expects the kube config file to exist. When I ran touch kourosh-maneshni_kube_config.yml in that directory, terraform plan no longer threw the error.

Why does it need to exist? Shouldn't the rke cluster creation create that file for you as an output?

@dkeightley Do you have any inputs on how to fix this issue? Would passing dependencies between modules solve this problem?
