Terraform - Error - Checksum Mismatch

Starting with the introduction of the M1 and M2 macs to the team, we’ve started getting errors on our terraform CI/CD.

Terraform: Failed to install provider, doesn’t match checksums from dependency lock file

At least in our situation, this indicates that the lock file was built on a system with an architecture different than the one it is being run on. In our case, the system was built on a mac and run on linux.

The fix is pretty simple:

terraform providers lock \
  -platform=windows_amd64 \
  -platform=darwin_amd64 \
  -platform=linux_amd64
