Scan modules in another Gitlab repository?

[eleeaz95]

Hello!
Are terraform modules referenced to another gitlab repositories supported?

Problem

I have this main.tf that has a reference to another gitlab repository:

provider "aws" {}

terraform {
  experiments = [module_variable_optional_attrs]
}

module "tgw" {
  source = "git::https://gitlab.com/company/shared-services/modules/tgw?ref=v1.0.0"

  create_tgw                      = var.create_tgw
  env                             = var.env
  transit_gateway_name            = var.transit_gateway_name
  transit_gateway_asn             = var.transit_gateway_asn
  auto_accept_shared_attachments  = var.auto_accept_shared_attachments
  default_route_table_association = var.default_route_table_association
  default_route_table_propagation = var.default_route_table_propagation
  dns_support                     = var.dns_support
  description                     = var.description
  transit_gateway_routing_tables  = var.transit_gateway_routing_tables
}

After terraform init and tflint --init I run the following command: tflint --module, but it fails to get the module "tgw".
I tried the same but using the .tflint.hcl config file with the module: true parameter configured.

Failed to load configurations; main.tf:7,1-13: `tgw` module is not found. Did you run `terraform init`?; :
Error: `tgw` module is not found. Did you run `terraform init`?
  on main.tf line 7, in module "tgw":
   7: module "tgw" {

This method works absolutely fine for terraform provisioning (plan, apply), the URL and ref are correct.

Details

$ terraform --version
Terraform v1.1.9

$ tflint --version
TFLint version 0.40.0
