Root Cause

The required_version setting in terraform block uses an unsupported operator or malformed version string.

generic

中文

terraform 块中的 required_version 设置使用了不支持的运算符或格式错误的版本字符串。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use valid constraint syntax: required_version = ">= 1.4.0, < 2.0.0" 
    Use valid constraint syntax: required_version = ">= 1.4.0, < 2.0.0"
  2. 90% success Use pessimistic constraint operator: required_version = "~> 1.5" 
    Use pessimistic constraint operator: required_version = "~> 1.5"

中文步骤

  1. 使用有效的约束语法：required_version = ">= 1.4.0, < 2.0.0"
  2. 使用悲观约束运算符：required_version = "~> 1.5"

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    Comma is not a valid operator; Terraform expects space-separated constraints like '>= 1.0, < 2.0' is actually invalid, must use '>= 1.0, < 2.0' without comma or use '~>' operator.

  2. 40% fail

    The '=' operator is not supported; Terraform interprets bare numbers as pessimistic constraint operator '~>'.
