Question: How are the test.auto.tfvars files used

[micahlmartin]

I'm trying to figure out how the test.auto.tfvars are being used. I'm building a Terraform provider and this project was listed as a reference in the terraform-plugin-docs utility. I was able to see how to create example usage files, but it's not clear what is being done with the test.auto.tfvars files. Thanks in advance!

I use those to just manually test the example dirs occasionally. So cd to the dir, run terraform apply, etc. (and the normal .auto.tfvars rules apply). I had played around with additional automation to do this in PRs, etc., but haven't gotten it fully working.
