TF_VAR_ is already defined

[iondrugalea]

I want to have multiple TF_VAR_<var.name> env Variables.
For this i've update my tf template

- task: TerraformTaskV4@4
  inputs:
    provider: 'azurerm'
    command: 'init'
    backendServiceArm: ${{ parameters.SERVICE_CONNECTION }}
    backendAzureRmResourceGroupName: ${{ parameters.TF_STATE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME }}
    backendAzureRmStorageAccountName: ${{ parameters.TF_STATE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_NAME }}
    backendAzureRmContainerName: ${{ parameters.TF_STATE_BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME }}
    backendAzureRmKey: ${{ parameters.TF_STATE_BLOB_FILE }}
    workingDirectory: '${{ parameters.RELATIVE_WORKING_DIR }}'
    backendAzureRmUseEnvironmentVariablesForAuthentication: true
    backendAzureRmUseEntraIdForAuthentication: true
  displayName: 'Terraform Init'
    # ${{ each item in parameters.envVars }}:
    #   ${{ item.name }}: ${{ item.value }}
    # ${{ each item in parameters.tfVars }}:
    #   TF_VAR_${{ item.name }}: ${{ item.value }}

And this is how I call the template

  - template: terraform/tf-plan.yml@pipeline-templates
      parameters:
        SERVICE_CONNECTION: ${{ variables.service_connection }}
        TF_VERSION: $(TF_VERSION)
        TF_STATE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_NAME: $(tf_state_blob_account_name)
        TF_STATE_BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME: $(tf_state_blob_container_name)
        TF_STATE_BLOB_FILE: $(tf_state_blob_file)
        TF_STATE_BLOB_ACCOUNT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME: $(tf_state_blob_account_resource_group_name)
        RELATIVE_WORKING_DIR: $(tf_working_dir)
        tfVars:
            var1: $(va1)
            var2: $(var2)
        tfvarsFile: "../tf/vars/$(environment)/$(environment).tfvars"

and i got

(Line: 61, Col: 7): 'TF_VAR_' is already defined

Any assistance is appreciated
Thanks!

Hi, this is not related to the Terraform extension. I would suggest you check MS Learn site for YAML syntax and how Azure Pipelines work.
