tfdev

A tool to make Terraform Provider development easier on Terraform 0.14+ - by templating the providers.tf to allow easier toggling between Development and Production binaries.

Usage

$ tfdev [PROVIDER] [MODE]

• Provider being the name of the Provider (e.g. azurerm, aws)
• Mode being either dev (to use the dev override) or prod (to use the prod value)

Setup

Run:

go install github.com/tombuildsstuff/tfdev

Assuming the following ~/.terraformrc:

provider_installation {
   dev_overrides {
     "tombuildsstuff/azurerm" = "/Users/tharvey/code/bin"
   }

   # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider
   # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use
   # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available.
   direct {}
}

Add a .tfdev.hcl file to your home directory:

$ cat ~/.tfdev.hcl
provider "azurerm" {
  dev  = "tombuildsstuff/azurerm"
  prod = "hashicorp/azurerm"
}

At which point running tfdev azurerm dev or tfdev azurerm prod will output a providers.tf containing the required Provider configuration:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source = "tombuildsstuff/azurerm"
    }
  }
}
