template provider and template_file data source should be replaced with templatefile

[mariadb-JeffBachtel]

I have issues

• bug report

• kudos, thank you, warm fuzzy

What is the current behavior?

The eks module requires the template provider as a dependency, but it is archived/deprecated, with the templatefile function replacing it (see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/template/latest/docs/data-sources/file)

If this is a bug, how to reproduce? Please include a code sample if relevant.

data "template_file" is used in data.tf

What's the expected behavior?

Using the more recent (as of 0.12) function instead

Are you able to fix this problem and submit a PR? Link here if you have already.

• Affected module version: 12.2.0
• OS: Linux
• Terraform version: 0.13.3

Any other relevant info

We can't use the templatefile function for now without breaking some use cases. See #882 for info.

Maybe hashicorp/terraform#24978 could help to solve that. 👀

lolsob, thanks :) Closing because there's not much you can do about this, apologies for missing previous work (I looked!)

@barryib unfortunately there are not other options as template provider is not going to support terraform 0.14.

hashicorp/terraform-provider-template#85
terraform-google-modules/terraform-google-kubernetes-engine#761

Hi,
Still no solution ?

I have this issue with hashicorp/template :
Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/template v2.2.0 does not have a package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64.
