Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

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

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

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

Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.

Documentation

Documentation is generated with tfplugindocs. Generated files are in docs/ and should not be updated manually. They are derived from:

Use go generate to update generated docs.

Releasing

Builds and releases are automated with GitHub Actions and GoReleaser.

Currently there are a few manual steps to this:

  1. Kick off the release:

    RELEASE_VERSION=v... \
    make release
  2. Publish release:

    The Action creates the release, but leaves it in "draft" state. Open it up in a browser and if all looks well, click the Auto-generate release notes button and mash the publish button.
