Ability to use -chdir=DIR with tf validate and tf fmt
lexicalunit opened this issue · 1 comments
Describe the solution you'd like
I need to be able to set the dir via the global terraform argument -chdir=...
before running validate:
repos:
- repo: https://github.com/gruntwork-io/pre-commit
rev: v0.1.23
hooks:
- id: terraform-validate
args: [-chdir=whatever]
However, what the above configuration actually does is attempt to pass -chidr=whatever
to the validate subcommand. In other words, it executes this:
terraform validate -chdir=whatever
But that's an error because -chdir
is not a valid argument for terraform validate
.
What I need is a way to execute this:
terraform -chdir=whatever validate
Describe alternatives you've considered
I haven't found a way to set the working directory via some other means.
A workaround I found was to use the entry
option and passing a short script to /bin/sh
. I could have also passed something like terraform -chdir=/path/to/dir validate
to the shell, either way is fine 🤷🏻♀️
