4 years agoCan't use password field in another provider
Hi,
i try to use the terraform onepassword provider to fetch token for another provider in this way:
```
terraform {
required_providers {
hcloud = {
source = "hetznercloud/hcloud"
}
onepassword = {
source = "1Password/onepassword"
}
}
}
provider "onepassword" {
url = "http://localhost:8080"
}
data "onepassword_item" "hcloud_token" {
vault = "the-uuid"
title = "Hetzner Cloud Token - Test"
}
provider "hcloud" {
token = data.onepassword_item.hcloud_token.password
}
```
When i use data.onepassword_item.hcloud_token.password i get the error "The argument "token" is required, but no definition was found."
After several try & error iterations i then copied the token in the url field in 1password and used data.onepassword_item.hcloud_token.url and this works. In both fields is exact the same string. Any idea why i cant use the password field here?

Hey TnT,
I can confirm that you should be able to reference the password field of an item in the provider config like you have shown.
One thing that I would like to check is that you have set the
OP_CONNECT_TOKENenvironment variable to the Token created for your connect server. The 1Password provider requires a token to populate the password datasource. If that value is not set in the provider or the environment variable it can also result in a "The argument "token" is required, but no definition was found." error from Terraform since both providers expect atoken - tyla
