Error: Failed to download module

[richardj-bsquare]

Upon return to work after the new year I've started getting the following issue...

Could not download module "staticweb"
(../module/storage.tf:24) source code from
"https://api.github.com/repos/StefanSchoof/terraform-azurerm-static-website/tarball/0.0.4//*?archive=tar.gz":
Error opening a gzip reader for /tmp/getter326954289/archive: EOF.

Are you seeing this, or have seen this in the past?

I've made no changes to the previously working terraform, but obviously the terraform providers, etc. may have moved along since.

Version:

Terraform v0.12.18
+ provider.acme v1.5.0
+ provider.archive v1.3.0
+ provider.aws v2.33.0
+ provider.azurerm v1.36.1
+ provider.dns v2.2.0
+ provider.external v1.2.0
+ provider.null v2.1.2
+ provider.random v2.2.1
+ provider.slack (unversioned)
+ provider.template v2.1.2
+ provider.tls v2.1.1

Nevermind, must have been a glitch in GitHub, since today it isn't happening...

Actually the issue turns out to be a change in the terraform registry and module handling, which only affects terraform < 0.12.19 ... Workaround is to check out this module using a github direct URL (i.e. clone URL), rather than via the github shortcut.
