Root Cause

The version constraint syntax in required_providers is malformed or uses unsupported operators.

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use a single constraint without commas: `version = "~> 3.0"` or use multiple constraints with newlines: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]` 
    Use a single constraint without commas: `version = "~> 3.0"` or use multiple constraints with newlines: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]`
  2. 95% success Correct the syntax to use a list: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]` and run 'terraform init' 
    Correct the syntax to use a list: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]` and run 'terraform init'

中文步骤

  1. Use a single constraint without commas: `version = "~> 3.0"` or use multiple constraints with newlines: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]`
  2. Correct the syntax to use a list: `version = [">= 3.0", "< 4.0"]` and run 'terraform init'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Remove the version constraint entirely and run terraform init 60% fail

    Without constraints, Terraform may install a newer incompatible provider version.

  2. Use a comma instead of spaces between constraints: "~> 3.0,< 4.0" 90% fail

    The comma is still invalid; Terraform requires spaces or newlines between constraints.

  3. Wrap the constraint in double quotes inside the block 50% fail

    The error is about the constraint string syntax, not quoting.
