After entering my resources information for Azure in Terraform configuration files and running a plan I was keep on receiving below error.
A reference to a resource type must be followed by at least one attribute access, specifying the resource name
PS D:\Projects\Terraform\Module_create_multiple_resources_with_single_module_from_hashtable> terraform plan ╷ │ Error: Invalid reference │ │ on sa.tf line 15, in module "Demo_Azure_Module_RG": │ 15: rg_name = demo_RG1 │ │ A reference to a resource type must be followed by at least one attribute access, specifying the resource name. ╵ PS D:\Projects\Terraform\Module_create_multiple_resources_with_single_module_from_hashtable>
Solution to this problem is very simple. As you can see in the below screenshot, while providing information in terraform module or resource for example here resource group name was not surrounded by double quotes " ". I added quotes and it worked fine.
In given example rg_name is a string type and when providing explicit string value it should be inside double quotes.
