terraform-provider-coder

Terraform provider for Coder.

Developing

Follow the instructions outlined in the Terraform documentation to setup your local Terraform to use your local version rather than the registry version.

1. Create a file named .terraformrc in your $HOME directory
2. Add the following content:

    provider_installation {
        # Override the coder/coder provider to use your local version
        dev_overrides {
          "coder/coder" = "/path/to/terraform-provider-coder"
        }
   
        # 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 {}
    }

3. (optional, but recommended) Validate your configuration:
   1. Create a new main.tf file and include:

   terraform {
       required_providers {
           coder = {
               source = "coder/coder"
           }
       }
   }

   2. Run terraform init and observe a warning like Warning: Provider development overrides are in effect
4. Run go build -o terraform-provider-coder to build the provider binary, which Terraform will try locate and execute
5. All local Terraform runs will now use your local provider!
6. NOTE: we vendor in this provider into github.com/coder/coder, so if you're testing with a local clone then you should also run go mod edit -replace github.com/coder/terraform-provider-coder=/path/to/terraform-provider-coder in your clone.
