S006

S006

The S006 analyzer reports cases of TypeMap schemas missing Elem, which currently passes Terraform schema validation, but breaks downstream tools and may be required in the future.

Flagged Code

&schema.Schema{
    Type: schema.TypeMap,
}

Passing Code

&schema.Schema{
    Type: schema.TypeMap,
    Elem: &schema.Schema{Type: schema.TypeString},
}

Ignoring Reports

Singular reports can be ignored by adding the a //lintignore:S006 Go code comment at the end of the offending line or on the line immediately proceding, e.g.

//lintignore:S006
&schema.Schema{
    Type: schema.TypeMap,
}
