Development Environment Setup

Requirements

  • Terraform 0.12.26+ (to run acceptance tests)
  • Go 1.15 (to build the provider plugin)

Quick Start

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (please check the requirements before proceeding).

Note: This project uses Go Modules making it safe to work with it outside of your existing GOPATH. The instructions that follow assume a directory in your home directory outside of the standard GOPATH (i.e $HOME/development/terraform-providers/).

Clone repository to: $HOME/development/terraform-providers/

$ mkdir -p $HOME/development/terraform-providers/; cd $HOME/development/terraform-providers/
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws
...

Enter the provider directory and run make tools. This will install the needed tools for the provider.

$ make tools

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-aws
...

Testing the Provider

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

Note: Make sure no AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY variables are set, and there's no [default] section in the AWS credentials file ~/.aws/credentials.

$ 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. Please read Running and Writing Acceptance Tests in the contribution guidelines for more information on usage.

$ make testacc
