Opened this issue · 3 comments

Thank you for all the effort put into this tool and for making it open source.

We are new to terraform/terragrunt and find that terragrunt validate-all fails.

$ terragrunt --version
terragrunt version v0.25.1

Is this expected?
If so is there a workaround?

$ git clone https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt-infrastructure-live-example.git

<elided>
$ cd terragrunt-infrastructure-live-example
$ terragrunt validate-all                                                      [15/234]

Ahhhh nevermind what was originally here: I just realized this is an issue with the example here.

Ah ok the issue here is that you are running validate-all from the root of the project. This is actually not a supported mode of operation for this example, given that the intention is for prod and non-prod to be two separate AWS accounts (meaning, you need to authenticate separately).

It should work if you use validate-all from the prod folder or non-prod folder.

Okay, so it seems a documentation issue.
