Terraform Validate Error - Snowflake Automation - terraform

Question

I am working on self-development to better see how I can implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for a Snowflake Environment.
I have a GitHub repo with GitHub actions configured workflow that does the following:
setups up terraform cloud alongside the following
Setups up terraform v1.1.2
Runs Terraform fmt -check
Terraform validate
Terraform plan
Terraform apply
Public Repo https://github.com/waynetaylor/sfguide-terraform-sample/blob/main/.github/workflows/actions.yml here which pretty much is following github actions for terraform cloud steps.
I have configured TF cloud and if I run the terraform validate step this fails with environment variables for snowflake - whether I run locally or remotely via actions. However, if I run a terraform plan and apply and exclude the terraform validate it works.
Example error
Error: Missing required argument

│ The argument "account" is required, but no definition was found.

Answer 1

The snowflake provider documentation suggests that there are three required values: username, account, and region.
Where you call your provider in your code you'll need to provide those values.
e.g.
from
provider "snowflake" {
alias = "sys_admin"
role = "SYSADMIN"
}
to
provider "snowflake" {
// required
username = "..."
account = "..."
region = "..."
alias = "sys_admin"
role = "SYSADMIN"
}
