Error: Failed to install provider

Issue: If you did not check in a terraform.lock.hcl file to your version control system, and you run the terraform init command, the following message appears: Failed to install provider. Additional output may include a message similar to the following:

Error while installing databrickslabs/databricks: v1.0.0: checksum list has no SHA-256 hash for "https://github.com/databricks/terraform-provider-databricks/releases/download/v1.0.0/terraform-provider-databricks_1.0.0_darwin_amd64.zip"

Cause: Your Terraform configurations reference outdated Databricks Terraform providers.

Solution:

1. Replace databrickslabs/databricks with databricks/databricks in all of your .tf files.

   To automate these replacements, run the following Python command from the parent folder that contains the .tf files to update:

   Python

   python3 -c "$(curl -Ls https://dbricks.co/updtfns)"

2. Run the following Terraform command and then approve the changes when prompted:

   Bash

   terraform state replace-provider databrickslabs/databricks databricks/databricks

   For information about this command, see Command: state replace-provider in the Terraform documentation.

3. Verify the changes by running the following Terraform command:

   Bash

   terraform init

Error: Failed to query available provider packages

Issue: If you did not check in a terraform.lock.hcl file to your version control system, and you run the terraform init command, the following message appears: Failed to query available provider packages.

Cause: Your Terraform configurations reference outdated Databricks Terraform providers.

Solution: Follow the solution instructions in Error: Failed to install provider.

Enable logging

To help you troubleshoot issue, the Databricks Terraform provider outputs logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG or any other log level that Terraform supports.

By default, logs are sent to stderr. To send logs to a file, set the TF_LOG_PATH environment variable to the target file path.

For example, you can run the following command to enable logging at the debug level, and to output logs in monochrome format to a file named tf.log relative to the current working directory, while the terraform apply command runs:

Bash

TF_LOG=DEBUG TF_LOG_PATH=tf.log terraform apply -no-color
