Ansible failing to run Terraform Plan

I have automated ansible playbook to generate Terraform files required to create AWS resources in a folder. Once the files are generated, ansible tasks runs terraform plan(using below plan code) but it is failing with below error(error)

Ansible Version:

ansible [core 2.11.2] 
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible

Terraform Version: Terraform v0.12.31

plan code:

- name: Create Terraform plan
  check_mode: true
  community.general.terraform:
    project_path: "{{ terraform_dir }}"
    plan_file: "{{ terraform_dir }}/tfplan"
    state: "planned"
    force_init: true
  register: plan
  tags:
    - build
    - plan
    - never

error:

**fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):

", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE

not sure if I missed to install any required modules or if I need to make code changes. Any idea how to fix the above error?

Please let me know if any further information needed.

Thanks in Advance.

Fixed the above error by changing the ansible-galaxy collection version(ansible-galaxy collection install community.general:1.3.9).

ansible-galaxy versions causing the above error are >1.3.9 as versions greater than 1.3.9 are not compatible with terraform version v0.12.31

Previously I have ansible-galaxy collection version 2.2.0 installed, degrading the version to 1.3.9 fixed my issue.
