Can't interact with multiple Terraform provider blocks of same type

[bobziuchkovski]

I was hoping to use hcledit to extract and manipulate AWS provider attributes within our terraform config.

However, it looks like the lack of provider names or address indexing prevents this from working? I could also be missing something on my end, though.

The example file I'm working with is a main.tf file with 4 different AWS provider blocks. Each provider has a different profile specified, but I can only interact with the first of these from hcledit:

$ hcledit -f main.tf attribute get provider.aws.profile
"prod"

$ grep -A 1 aws main.tf
provider "aws" {
  profile = "prod"
--
provider "aws" {
  profile = "dev"
--
provider "aws" {
  profile = "qa"
--
provider "aws" {
  profile = "ops"

Thank you for reporting the issue. Yes, the address index expression hasn't been implemented yet.

@ayodelecaleb , you might be able to use this-

I wrote this with the goal of being able to add to provider blocks, not being able to query them; but you could probably hack a solution from this.
