Engineering Elixir Applications: End of Chapter 2, github_issues_labels

@elliefairholm and @Gilacost

All of Chapter 2 works fine until this last bit.
variable “issues” {
type = list(object({
title = string
body = string
labels = list(string)
milestone = string
}))

resource “github_issue” “tasks” {
count = length(var.issues)
repository = github_repository.kanban.name
title = var.issues[count.index].title
body = var.issues[count.index].body
milestone_number = github_repository_milestone.epics[var.issues[count.index].milestone].number
labels = [for l in var.issues[count.index].labels :
github_issue_label.issues_labels[l].name]

Hi @SoldierCoder could you share your whole main.tf and .auto.tfvars files? It looks like your having an issue when trying to access a specific “github_issue_label.issues_labels” resource. Rather than having many “issue_labels” in your state it seems that you only have one.

Thanks @SoldierCoder!

It looks like you’ve got a typo in the first issue in your issues list in .auto.tfvars:

{
title = “Implement the Dockerfile’s builder stage”
body = <<EOT
The builder stage packages all the tools and compile-time dependencies for your
application. It has to build the mix release that will be copied in the running
stage.
EOT
labels = [“kind-infrastrcture”, “dockerfile”]
milestone = “infrastructure”
}

Rather than “kind-infrastrcture” it should say “kind-infrastructure”.

Let me know if that fixes the problem. Thanks!
