Plugin is not compatible with newer versions of TFLint

[dougireton]

What were you trying to accomplish?

Running tflint with the serverless-rules installed

Expected Behavior

TFLint works with this plugin

Current Behavior

Failed to initialize plugins; Incompatible API version with plugin "aws-serverless". Plugin version: 9, TFLint versions: [10]

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install newest version of tflint 0.35.0
2. Add plugin "aws-serverless" to your .tflint.hcl file.
3. Run tflint in a Terraform repo

Environment

MacOS

• Infrastructure as code technology used:

TFLint version 0.35.0

.tflint.hcl file

config {
  module = true
}

plugin "aws" {
  enabled = true
  version = "0.13.2"
  source  = "github.com/terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-aws"
}

plugin "aws-serverless" {
  enabled = true
  version = "0.3.2"
  source = "github.com/awslabs/serverless-rules"
}

Hey Doug!

Thanks a lot for creating this issue!

Just to give you an update, TFLint made some major changes to their plugin APIs, which will require some significant rewrite for all of the rules on this project, so it might take a few weeks to rewrite those using the new API version.

Any progress update on this?
