Hi there,

I can't comment on your particular bug but it would be easier to accomplish what you're doing by using jsonencode for the container defintion rather than a templatefile

e.g.

container_definitions = jsonencode([
  {
    name      = var.webapp_name,
    image     = var.webapp_image
    essential = true
    environment = [
      {
        name  = "VARIABLE"
        value = var.variable_value
      }
    ]
    linuxParameters = {
      initProcessEnabled = true
    }
    logConfiguration = {
      logDriver = "awslogs"
      options = {
        awslogs-group         = "${local.resource_prefix}-${var.webapp_name}"
        awslogs-region        = data.aws_region.current.name
        awslogs-stream-prefix = var.webapp_name
      }
    }
    portMappings = [
      {
        containerPort = var.webapp_port
        protocol      = "tcp"
      }
    ]
    ulimits = [
      {
        softLimit = 32768,
        hardLimit = 32768,
        name      = "nofile"
      }
    ]
  }
])

Hey @tdupoiron 👋 Thank you for taking the time to raise this! In this case, I'd definitely recommend using jsonencode(), as mentioned above. Outside of that, this looks like an error related to the configuration / template rather than a bug with the provider. If you'd like to troubleshoot the templatefile() method further, you'd be better served at the AWS Provider forum, where there's a network of people willing to help. With that in mind, I'm going to close this issue.
