Error: Failed to construct REST client

When running on a fresh GC projects:

$ ./scripts/terraform_local_dev.sh plan

Error: Failed to construct REST client

  on certman.tf line 46, in resource "kubernetes_manifest" "cert_manager_cf_issuer":
  46: resource "kubernetes_manifest" "cert_manager_cf_issuer" {

cannot create REST client: no client config

Proper fix would require better code structure/modularisation like in this example - https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-kubernetes/tree/main/_examples/gke

Quick workaround - comment out kubernetes_manifest resource on first plan/apply run.

I'll be trying to deploy a new prod cluster next week on Monday. I'll go through the deployment steps and come back with feedback about the experience.

After fixing some more bugs affecting local re-install I managed to test working workaround for the provider-dependency issue. It's added to README.md in c4f1477.

Awesome news. Thank you Rafal.

Fixed by introducing preflight mode (terraform_preflight variable). Looks like to solve this and similar issues it's either two-step run of single module or splitting the project into two root modules. There are additions to installation procedure in README.md file.
