C4W4- Capstone project- part 1 Terraform apply prompting for variable output

[juhi1684]

Hi everyone,
I’m working on Course 4, Week 4 – Capstone Project 1 and I’m facing an issue with terraform apply.

According to the exercise, Terraform should run without asking for any variable inputs (except the final confirmation). However, during terraform apply, I’m being prompted for:

var.catalog_database
Curated DB name
Enter a value:

Terraform apply works fine for extraction but when prompting it for transformation, firstly I get this error-"The terminal process “/usr/bin/bash” terminated” when prompting again, i’m asking to put the curated DB name.

Terraform is otherwise initialized successfully. I believe this variable should already be defined as part of the lab setup, but in my environment it seems to be missing, causing Terraform to ask for input interactively.

I’m stuck at this lab for long and this is the last stage. Please help me to finish the project and the course.

Many thanks

Juhi
