Unable To Resolve Provider AWS with Terraform Version 0.13.4

I couldn’t get past this for a while when I accidentally stumbled across a fix. I believe the fix was merged, however this problem still existed in 0.13.4 so I stuck with it.

I used the code snippet here: micro ~/.terraform.d/providercache.tfrc

Wasn’t sure if it was interpreted with shell, so I didn’t use the relative path ~/.terraform.d/plugins, though that might work as well.

provider_installation {
  filesystem_mirror {
    path = "/Users/sheldonhull/.terraform.d/plugins"
  }
  direct {
    exclude = []
  }
}

After this terraform init worked.
