Exception: Failed to render argument stack_name with value:

[dunnmj42]

Second error I'm running into is a new one.

Exception: Failed to render argument stack_name with value: template

"template" in this case is just the name of the YAML template file I am starting from.

I confirmed this by renaming the template and re-running the tool.

Here is the full Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/***/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/cf2tf/terraform/hcl2/_block.py", line 100, in render_arguments
    results.append(f"{indent_spacing}{name} = {value.render(indent)}")
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'render'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Hopefully this will mean more to you than it does to me. I am only loosely familiar with both CF and TF (and Python for that matter) but this seems to be expecting an object instead of a string here, but seems to be getting that value just from the filename.

I actually independently ran into this issue on my own while troubleshooting another issue. Yes its a bug and I have it fixed locally. Give me a day or two to get it pushed up and released.

But if you want to patch it locally, Go to this file /Users/***/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/cf2tf/conversion/expressions.py

Find this local_block.arguments["stack_name"] = template.name

Then change it to local_block.arguments["stack_name"] = StringType(template.name)

It's likely if you patch that ^ you will get the converted terraform. because you already went through the conversion and now you are just writing the files out.
