Tfstate.json in /tmp is empty sometimes

It sounds like you see the issue consistently vs intermittently which what was guessing was happening above.

terraform state pull > /tmp/terraspace/remote_state/stacks/d1/state.json

IE: The file is only zero-byte at the very beginning until the terraform state pull command remotely fetches the info.

If it’s consistently a zero-byte file, unsure why then :thinking: Since Ruby is an interpreted language, you can add debugging puts in the library code itself: https://github.com/boltops-tools/terraspace/blob/master/lib/terraspace/terraform/remote_state/fetcher.rb#L66 Maybe double-check the backend.tf and add a debugging puts like this:

system "cd #{@child.cache_dir} && cat backend.tf" # <= ADD THIS LINE
command = "cd #{@child.cache_dir} && terraform state pull > #{state_path}"

To figure out where terraspace is installed:

bundle info terraspace --path

Also, enable log debug level in

config/app.rb

Terraspace.configure do |config|
  config.logger.level = :debug
end

Also, hoping to get a repo with a reproduction of the issue like in this post: Plan stack trace error after making change to existing infra That’ll give us a better fighting chance to figure out what’s going on.

Also, made some pretty big changes to how terraspace all building and processing works in terrspace 1.1. Wondering when you get a chance you can also give terraspace 1.1 a try. So:
