When we change the location of any terraform module we need to run terraform init again to be able to pick up the right version:
$ terraform plan
Acquiring state lock. This may take a few moments...
Releasing state lock. This may take a few moments...
╷
│ Error: Module source has changed
│
│ on main.tf line 17, in module "terraform-module":
│ 17: source = "git::ssh://git@github.com/pet2cattle/terraform-module.git?ref=1.0.2"
│
│ The source address was changed since this module was installed. Run "terraform init" to install all modules required by this configuration.
╵
If we are using terraform modules from a git repository this includes changing it's tag:
module "terraform-module" {
source = "git::ssh://git@github.com/pet2cattle/terraform-module.git?ref=1.0.2"
(...)
}
To avoid downloading everything again, we can use the -upgrade flag to fetch the latest changes instead:
$ terraform init -upgrade
Upgrading modules...

You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.
If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
If the repository is big, it can save us from downloading all over again. On the other hand, if we want to update the providers we are using, we can also use terraform init -upgrade:
$ terraform init

use this backend unless the backend configuration changes.

Terraform has made some changes to the provider dependency selections recorded
in the .terraform.lock.hcl file. Review those changes and commit them to your
version control system if they represent changes you intended to make.
