Too many command line arguments. Configuration path expected.

[ArturChe]

Hi!

There is an error 'Too many command line arguments. Configuration path expected.' when trying to call terragrunt run-all apply.
But at the same time the terragrunt apply works fine.

In debug mode I can see that terragrunt run-all apply has two additional arguments -auto-approve -input=false which are not present in terragrunt apply.

terragrunt version v0.28.15

It's a bit hard to debug this without more info. Can you provide the following?

• Can you extract the terraform apply call that terragrunt makes from the logs of run-all apply which causes the error?

• Can you paste the terraform block from your config, so we can see any extra_arguments you have configured?

Thanks!

      "-out=${get_terragrunt_dir()}/plan.bin"
    ]
  }
  
  extra_arguments "apply" {
    commands  = ["apply"]
    arguments = ["${get_terragrunt_dir()}/plan.bin"]
  }
