unexpected identifier error

Issue Description

Hello, I’m trying this out with a terraform 0.12 project (which I suspect could be the root issue). The terraform is planned/applied successfully. The blast-radius graph draws on the screen but is not interactive. The blast-radius server shows this output:

[2019-05-30 13:06:33,958] ERROR in app: Exception on /graph.json [GET]

Is there a way to find the unexpected identifier to debug further? I tried running blast-radius with --debug but it was not a valid flag.

Relevant error: Error loading configuration: Error parsing <SNIP>: At 43:15: Unknown token: 43:15 IDENT data.aws_secretsmanager_secret.elasticsearch_additional_ips.id

Coincidentally, due to my plugins being out of date, my IDE tells me this this line is wrong when in reality it’s perfectly valid in TF 0.12.x:

data "aws_secretsmanager_secret_version" "selected" {
  secret_id = data.aws_secretsmanager_secret.elasticsearch_additional_ips.id
}

When changed to the following, the error in blast-radius goes away:

data "aws_secretsmanager_secret_version" "selected" {
  secret_id = "${data.aws_secretsmanager_secret.elasticsearch_additional_ips.id}"
}

And I run into another one stemming from my use of the compact function which is valid in terraform 0.12.x.

This leads me to believe it’s just an out of date HCL parser that doesn’t support TF 0.12.x.
