The provider hashicorp/aws does not support resource type "aws_internet_gateway_attachment"

Question

Why do I get this error with Terraform,

The provider hashicorp/aws does not support resource type "aws_internet_gateway_attachment".

You can see the resource aws_internet_gateway_attachment defined in the docs. The full error is,

│ Error: Invalid resource type
│ 
│   on main.tf line 26, in resource "aws_internet_gateway_attachment" "example":
│   26: resource "aws_internet_gateway_attachment" "example" {
│ 
│ The provider hashicorp/aws does not support resource type "aws_internet_gateway_attachment".
╵

this is the hdl I'm using

resource "aws_internet_gateway_attachment" "example" {
  internet_gateway_id = aws_internet_gateway.gw.id
  vpc_id              = aws_vpc.main.id
}

I'm using version 3.75.1 of the AWS provider.

The terraform docs default to the lastest, version. The doc page you're looking at is,

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/internet_gateway_attachment#attributes-reference

What you want to do is replace that latest with the version you're using, in this case 3.75.1. Like this,

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/3.75.1/docs/resources/internet_gateway_attachment#attributes-reference

That brings up a 404,

This documentation page doesn't exist for version 3.75.1 of the aws provider.

Which basically means you must upgrade the Terraform provider.
