When trying to import resources to a complex setup of Terraform using the following command:
terraform import module.instances.aws_instance.bp_instance["xx-supervisor-xx"] i-12344556
I always got the following error:
Error: Index value required
on <import-address> line 1:
1: module.instances.aws_instance.bp_instance[xx-supervisor-xx]
Index brackets must contain either a literal number or a literal string.
For information on valid syntax, see:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html
That’s because escaping for the instance key name is required, like this:
terraform import module.instances.aws_instance.bp_instance[\"xx-supervisor-xx\"] i-12344556
