Trying to get Terraform to download the AWS plugins, but when running terraform init I just get the below
Initializing the backend...
Initializing provider plugins...
Terraform has been successfully initialized!
No indication that provider plugin has been installed. I’ve tried this on both Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux using VSCode
Ran terraform init with this in main.tf file.
terraform {
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 5.0"
}
}
}
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
Running terraform provider shows nothing installed. Not seeing any hidden .terraform config file either in current working directory.
UPDATE
Ran TF_LOG=DEBUG terraform init

The issue looks to be caused by file permissions and file ownership. VScode workspace folder was originally created in Ubuntu Documents folder. Creating a separate folder in Home space fixed the issue
