Inframap execution generates a blank image for Terraform infra

[kedar9696]

Hello,

I have been using Inframap with the module-magento repository, and the graphs are generated correctly with the following command:

inframap generate ./terraform/module-magento/ | dot -Tpng > inframap.png

However, when I try the same approach on another repository, the execution completes without errors, but the generated image is just a blank white square. Interestingly, when I test with a much smaller Terraform configuration (with fewer resources), Inframap generates the graph as expected.

Has anyone encountered this behavior before? Could there be any reason why the larger Terraform configurations are resulting in blank images?

@kerak19, I would appreciate any insights you might have.

Thank you in advance!

Hey there, do you have an example configuration we could use to replicate the issue?

Hi @kerak19

You can clone the repository from here and try generating an inframap by following these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Navigate to the inframap directory.
3. Inside, you'll find the main.tf file and a modules folder.
4. Attempt to generate the inframap from this location.

Let me know if you need any further details!

Hi, unfortunately no updates at this moment as I'm still busy with other Cycloid's properties

No problem, @kerak19! Just reach out whenever you have time to look into it.

I have the same issue. I tried generating it from my .tfstate and .tf files, but it was producing a blank image. However, if you pass the --raw flag, it outputs correctly and generates the image. It's a workaround.

Example:
inframap generate terraform.tfstate --raw
