why does my terraform not working with minikube?

Question

I am trying to launch pods using terraform in minikube. While running terraformError Image apply I am getting an error, "zip: not a valid zip file".

provider "kubernetes" {
  config_context_cluster = "minikube"
}
resource "kubernetes_pod" "echo" {
  metadata {
    name = "echo-example"
    labels {
      App = "echo"
  } }
  spec {
    container {
      image = "hashicorp/http-echo:0.2.1"
      name  = "example2"
      args = ["-listen=:80", "-text='Hello World'"]
      port {
        container_port = 80
} 
}
}
}

There are a lot of similar cases. For example this issue You need to move your individual tf files to their own directories, and then you can point terraform to that directory.

The plan command only accepts directories, and the apply command will only take the entire dir, or plan output file (use -out on plan). I think this limitation is due to the fact that terraform requires a state file for each plan. Here is how I've setup my terraform project, note secrets.tfvars and terraform.tfvars are common between both terraform plans.
