Requirements

Terraform 0.11.x

Using the provider

To use the latest version of the provider in your Terraform environment, run terraform init and Terraform will automatically install the provider.

If you wish to pin your environment to a specific release, you can do so with a required_providers statement in your Terraform manifest.

required_providers {
    newrelic = "~> 1.19.0"
}

If you're developing and building the provider, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. After placing the provider your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

For more information on using the provider and the associated resources, please see the provider documentation page.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.13+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

Building

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/newrelic;
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/newrelic
$ git clone git@github.com:newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic.git

Enter the provider directory and build the provider. To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic
$ make build

Testing

In order to test the provider, run make test. This will run the unit test suite.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run. The environment variables NEW_RELIC_API_KEY and NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY must also be set with your associated keys for acceptance tests to work properly.
