Unexpected "validation" block about terraform-validator HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello,

This issue seems to be due to the definition of variable block.
In hcl_parse_type_types.go variable block is define as :

type hclNameDescription struct { Name string hcl:"name,label" Default hcl.Attributes hcl:",remain" } type hclVariable hclNameDescription

The variable block only expect : a name label + attributes. But with terrraform 13, we can add a block "validation" --> it fails.

Hey guys,

What a pleasure to here from you ! How are you ?

About the issue, you're very right. In fact it's quite borring to follow terraform evolvs. Maybe I should migrate from hcl parser into terraform one so that it follows automatically the updates ... But I'll need some times to do so.

In the meanwhile, the following new definition should do the job, but I need to test it ;)

type hclVariable struct {
	Name    string         `hcl:"name,label"`
        Validation hcl.Block `hcl:"validation,block"` #cool
	Default hcl.Attributes `hcl:"default,remain"`
}

or maybe I'll need to create another type (cf backend in hclTerraform struct)

Hey @thazelart,

Is there any timeline for adding this functionality to a 3.1.x release? It'd be nice to be able to use this tool, but validation blocks are used throughout most of my codebases since it was introduced in 0.13 of Terraform.

I will add that changing the hclVariable struct as you mentioned did not work for me.
