dce system deploy fails with uninformative error message

[craig-carey]

Version information

• dce version: latest: 0.5.0 (dce version reports 0.4.0 though)
• Ubuntu 20.04.3
• Go version 1.17
• Not using Terraform directly (but have 1.0.5 installed)

Describe the bug

dce system deploy
Initializing
Do you really want to create DCE resources in your AWS account? (type "yes" or "no")yes
Creating DCE infrastructure
Error: error creating infrastructure: Command failed: /home/craig/.dce/.cache/terraform/0.12.18/terraform apply -no-color -auto-approve -input=false: exit status 1

Expected behavior
exit status 0, infrastructure created

Got it working by running /home/craig/.dce/.cache/terraform/0.12.18/terraform init, deleting ~/.dce/ and starting again

It did not work for me even after terraform init.

terraform init
Terraform initialized in an empty directory!

The directory has no Terraform configuration files. You may begin working
with Terraform immediately by creating Terraform configuration files.

Getting the same error when executing this command:
dce system deploy

Error: error creating infrastructure: Command failed: /home/xyz/.dce/.cache/terraform/0.12.18/terraform apply -no-color -auto-approve -input=false: exit status 1

I tested both in ubuntu 20.04 and in Mac. Resulting with the same error

dce version : 0.4.0

In my case this was because the CLI tool uses an older version of Terraform than is supported. Workaround was to add the download URL for the supported version as stated at https://github.com/Optum/dce/blob/master/modules/main.tf#L2 to my ~/.dce/config.yml file as follows...

...
terraform:
  bin: null
  source: https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.13.7/terraform_0.13.7_darwin_amd64.zip
...

Same issue

Default values for dce init

dce system deploy

Error: error creating infrastructure: Command failed: /home/bunny/.dce/.cache/terraform/0.12.18/terraform apply -no-color -auto-approve -input=false: exit status 1.
tried all of the above but didn't worked. Did anyone fixed this?
