This PR adds the option to explicitly create the Role Policy (or not), whether a policy is given or not. This is optional and should only be used to a (possible) issue that Terraform cannot determine a
count
value:When this error occurs depends on the explicit setup with modules, data resources and variables and therefor does not always occur.
Normally, a Policy resource is created if a policy document is specified. Normally we specify the policy in a data resource. If there is no state file present, Terraform cannot always determine the value of the data resource (because there is no state yet) and fails the plan.
In this specific situation this can be fixed by "hardcoding" the check if the policy has to be created, basically "helping" terraform with the plan... (See Issue links below for more (detailed) context)
Example usage
The
force_create_policy
explicitly tells Terraform to create the role, removing the "cannot be determined" errorIssues:
