Unable to use TFE bundle

Introduction

Problem

The bundle works fine on a TFE server direct, but when used against a Remote Agent it fails. 

Problem was first observed with custom provider but also encountered with official and community providers.

Error noted

Operation failed: failed unpacking Terraform: failed creating file
"/root/.tfc-agent/component/terraform/runs/run-xxxx.plan/.terraform.d/plugins":
open /root/.tfc-agent/component/terraform/runs/run-xxx.plan/.terraform.d/plugins: is a directory
xxxplan/.terraform.d/plugins: is a directory

Cause

• This error happen when customers use the zip utility to create custom bundles instead of the terraform-bundle utility

Solutions:

• When creating TFE-bundle make sure to Zip bundle to use -D flag, or --no-dir-entries The -D flag removes files from a zip
