Fix Terraform Provider Version Mismatch
Lock-file drift after a CI upgrade — how to align providers across environments.
Problem
Error: Inconsistent dependency lock fileRoot cause
Your local Terraform installed a newer provider than what `.terraform.lock.hcl` records, or a teammate updated it on a different OS/arch.
Solution
Re-lock for the platforms you use
terraform providers lock -platform=linux_amd64 -platform=darwin_arm64 -platform=linux_arm64Commit the updated lockfile
git add .terraform.lock.hcl && git commit -m 'tf: relock providers'Frequently asked questions
