JSON Parse Error

[ackSec]

I get the following parse error when running terraform plan/terraform init

Failed to load root config module: Error loading /.../terraform/tf_chef_server/main.tf: Error reading config for template_file[attributes-json]: parse error at 1:30: expected ")" but found invalid sequence "\\"

Currently using Terraform v0.10.7

It's a problem with this statement:

addons = "${join(",", formatlist("\\"%s\\"", split(",", var.chef_addons)))}"

I believe previous to 0.8, it was necessary to double escape embedded double-quotes. That doesn't appear to be the case any more with current versions.. Admittedly this was created on 0.7.x era and much has changed.

I'll be looking at a larger overhaul of the code base soon to take into account newer interpolations available to solve for some things that are issues beyond this.
