@nk74 found it
in my case, I was uploading the plugin to
/root/.tflint.d/plugins/tflint-ruleset-google after I've changed to /root/.tflint.d/plugins/ it passed

[wata727]

Umm... I was unable to reproduce this issue. Below is the environment I have confirmed:

$ tflint -v
TFLint version 0.25.0
+ ruleset.azurerm (0.9.0)

If you're only having issues with v0.9, it's possible that the update to Go 1.16 is affecting you.
Can you provide a Docker image etc. that can reproduce this problem?

[krynn1]

I have the same problem but iwth the azure plugin. I am running go version go1.16.1 darwin/amd64

[mike-serchenia]

@krynn1 upload the plugin in ~/.tflint.d/plugins/
not in ~/.tflint.d/plugins/tflint-ruleset-google/

[krynn1]

@krynn1 upload the plugin in ~/.tflint.d/plugins/
not in ~/.tflint.d/plugins/tflint-ruleset-google/

I realized I had to make build the plugin. Is there be output if it runs successfully but doesn't find anything?

No, but you can set log level to debug. You'll see if plugin was found

[wata727]

We have found that this error occurs if a directory with the same name exists. The bug has been fixed in terraform-linters/tflint#1169.

This issue will be closed, although there may be other causes. If you face a similar issue, open a new issue.
