Heya,
From what you have provided there could be a couple of issues.
-
Incorrect base_url - The
base_urlyou provided looks a bit strange. Usually, for GitLab, it’shttps://gitlab.com/api/v4/. You have “errooorr” in the middle of your URL which is incorrect. -
Spacing and Indentation - Consistent spacing and indentation are crucial for Terraform to interpret the configuration correctly.
Here’s a cleaner version of your create.tf:
terraform {
required_providers {
gitlab = {
source = "gitlabhq/gitlab"
}
}
}
variable "gitlab_token" {
description = "Token for accessing GitLab API"
type = string
default = "" # Empty default, it's best to provide this via tfvars or environment variables
}
variable "base_url" {
description = "Base URL for GitLab API"
type = string
default = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/"
}
provider "gitlab" {
token = var.gitlab_token
base_url = var.base_url
}
