terraform

Solution 1

I was having the same issue.

Using aws command aws s3 ls and aws s3api list-objects --bucket bucket-name

I could list the content but was still having the same issue.

Error inspecting states in the "s3" backend: NoSuchBucket: The specified bucket does not exist status code: 404, request id: xxxxx, host id: xxxxxx

Erased the ./terraform directory and it fixed my issue.

Solution 2

I was getting the similar issue as below

Error inspecting states in the "s3" backend:
    AccessDenied: Access Denied
    status code: 403, request id: XXXXXX, host id: XXXXX

And after removing the .terraform file it worked (In my case I was using Jenkins, so I have to remove it from Jenkins server's project directory and it worked for me). Thanks !

I am running terraform init on my terraform modules folder and I am getting below.

I had the same issue. Deleting the .terraform directory and running init again fixed the issue for me.

In my case I changed the terraform backend, moving to a different S3 bucket. Inside the .terraform directory, the terraform.tfstate file still listed the old bucket, editing that file then allowed terraform init to work successfully.
