Terraform found an invalid character in the configuration Error: Invalid character Terraform could not parse the configuration because it encountered a character sequence that is not valid in the current expression or HCL syntax context.
Observed message
Error: Invalid character Why it happens
A value contains malformed interpolation or a symbol that HCL does not allow in that position. Text copied from another language or template syntax was pasted into Terraform unchanged. A string, expression, or block was edited in a way that left invalid characters in the file. How to fix it
Inspect the exact line Terraform reports and remove or rewrite the invalid character sequence. Check whether interpolation, quoting, or template syntax was copied from a different language. Run terraform fmt after correcting the syntax so Terraform can re-parse the configuration cleanly.
