When applying a terraform process we are getting the following error: Error installing provider “aws”: mkdir ${env:TentacleHome}: The directory name is invalid…
We are using Octopus Version 2018.4.4 with an external worker. The version of the external worker tentacle is 3.20.0. The Tentacle manager on that machine shows that it knows what directory is TentacleHome. Is this a permissions issue? The tentacle is running as a domain account, but not running as an admin on that machine.
Here is a larger snippet of the log:
