main.tf in basic example does not have correct source

[Rene-Auberger]

Affected modules

• Basic example main.tf

Terraform CLI and Terraform provider versions

Terraform v1.11.2
on darwin_arm64

• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/time v0.9.1
• provider registry.terraform.io/ibm-cloud/ibm v1.78.2

Terraform output

When running terraform apply using the given value "../.." this leads to errors such as

Error: Unsupported argument
│
│   on main.tf line 19, in module "database":
│   19:   location           = var.region
│
│ An argument named "location" is not expected here.
╵
╷
│ Error: Unsupported argument
│
│   on main.tf line 20, in module "database":
│   20:   name               = "${var.prefix}-data-store"
│
│ An argument named "name" is not expected here.
╵
╷

and so on.

Expected behavior

The example should work running terraform apply just by defining the variables (without modifications in the main.tf itself).

This can be achieved by replacing the line with
source = "terraform-ibm-modules/icd-postgresql/ibm"

@Rene-Auberger The basic example works just fine if you execute it from within the modules repo. However I am assuming you have just copied the example code to some local directory and tried to execute it and it failed since you did not have the root level module code.
To avoid confusion, I have updated the examples with a code comment -> #645

[Rene-Auberger]

Yes, exactly, I downloaded the example code just from the "basic" directory and tried to run it locally without downloading the whole repository. Thanks for the clarification and the comment in the code which might help others to not run into the same issue.
