DigitalOcean VM creation error

[0xAnom4ly]

Hello,

I ran into issue with terraform script erroring out during scan start with DigitalOcean VMs.

I entered API key in providers and filled rest like this:

I also tried filling in tag but error was the same.

Here is Ansible output log of the error:

Thanks for reporting this. It was a template issue in ansible and it is fixed. Fix below. In the next taged version this will not be a issue. But for now just add one tag and it will work.

{% if vm.tags and vm.tags.strip() %} {% for tag in vm.tags.split(',') %} resource "digitalocean_tag" "{{ tag | trim | lower | replace(' ', '_') }}" { name = "{{ tag | trim }}" } {% endfor %} {% endif %}

Thanks, I edited the template and it works if you provide a tag. If you don't, it still errors out.
