I am trying to use this orb for terraform [CircleCI Developer Hub - circleci/terraform](https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/terraform).

If we are adding the path as variable the orb fails

`Path does not exist: ${CIRCLE_BRANCH}`

The code which I am using is

```auto
version: 2.1
orbs:
  terraform: circleci/terraform@3.0.1

jobs:
  terraforming:
    executor: terraform/default
    steps:
      - checkout
      - terraform/init:
          path: ${CIRCLE_BRANCH}

```

Can anyone suggest the solution for the same.
