Terraform Provider

Requirements

  • Terraform 0.10.x
  • Go 1.8 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

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

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

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

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

Using the provider

Fill in for each provider

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.8+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

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

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ 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.

$ make testacc
# e.g. run a single acceptance test: e.g. 'TestAccDockerRegistryImage_private' in 'data_source_docker_registry_image_test.go'
go test -v -timeout 30s github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-docker/docker -run ^TestAccDockerRegistryImage_private$

In order to extend the provider and test it with terraform, build the provider as mentioned above with

$ make build

Remove an explicit version of the provider you develop, because terraform will fetch the locally built one in $GOPATH/bin

provider "$PROVIDER_NAME" {
  # version = "~> 0.1.2"
  ...
}

Don't forget to run terraform init each time you rebuild the provider. Check here for a more detailed explanation.
