module "child" { # NOTE: For this test we need a working absolute path so that Terraform # will see this a an "external" module and thus establish a separate # package for it, but we won't know which temporary directory this # will be in at runtime, so we'll rewrite this file inside the test # code to replace %%BASE%% with the actual path. %%BASE%% is not normal # Terraform syntax and won't work outside of this test. # # Note that we're intentionally using the special // delimiter to # tell Terraform that it should treat the "package" directory as a # whole as a module package, with all of its descendents "downloaded" # (copied) together into ./.terraform/modules/child so that child # can refer to ../grandchild successfully. source = "%%BASE%%/package//child" }
