terraposh

PowerShell wrapper for running Terraform. This module takes advantage of TF_CLI_ARGS and TF_CLI_ARGS_name environment variables natively supported by Terraform.

In addition, it will automatically sequence the needed order of operations for commands. As an example, if you use terraposh plan or tpp, it will automatically sequence the terraform init --> terraform workspace --> terraform plan commands for you.

For Terraform workspaces, the default behvior of terraposh is to use the current git branch name as the workspace. You can also manually provide one via the -Workspace parameter. If the workspace doesn't exist, it will make it for you. When destroying a state via terraposh destroy, tpd, or tpda the workspace will also be deleted and set back to the default workspace.

Usage examples

Import-Module 'terraposh.psd1' -Force

• Plan, apply, and destroy commands will all perform a terraform init automatically.
• If a workspace is not provided, the current git branch will be used via git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
• By default, the working directory will be assumed to be the Directory

terraform plan

• terraposh plan
• tpp

terraform apply

• terraposh apply
• tpa

terraform destroy

• terraposh destroy
• tpd
• tpda inludes -auto-approve and will not prompt for confirmation

Terraposh configuration

When a terraposh command is executed, it will look for a config file. This config file is a JSON file containing the values to populate Terraform CLI environment variables. A default one is provided within the module with empty values. The search order for a config is:

1. ~/.terraposh.config.json
2. If in a Git repo, it will look for .terraposh.config.json, starting at the current directory, or -Directory, and going up until it reaches the root of the repo. Files closest to the starting directory will take precedence over one futher up.
3. -ConfigFile parameter
4. TERRAPOSH_CONFIG_JSON environment variable

Items further down the list take precedence over higher ones, with the environment variable being the highest.

The config file can contain any number of TF_CLI_ARGS and they will all be loaded. An example would be:

{
    "TerraformVersion": "1.6.3",
    "CreateHardLink": true,
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_init": "-backend=true -upgrade=true -backend-config=backend.tfvars -reconfigure",
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_plan": "-detailed-exitcode -parallelism=20 -out=.terraform/plan.bin -var-file=development.tfvars",
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_apply": "-parallelism=20 .terraform/plan.bin",
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_destroy": "-parallelism=20 -var-file=development.tfvars",
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_fmt": "-recursive",
    "TF_CLI_ARGS_output": "-json"
}

Commands

All functions support the same params.

[string]$TerraformCommand # Will be suffixed to command (required only for base terraposh command) via terraform <TerraformCommand>
[string]$ConfigFile       # Terraposh config file path
[string]$Directory        # Directory of Terraform root module code
[string]$Workspace        # Terraform workspace name
[switch]$Explicit         # Used to bypass automatic sequencing of init, workspace, <command> and will instead just run the provided command only
[string]$Version          # The version of Terraform to run, will automatically be downloaded if not already vendored
[switch]$CreateHardLink   # If present, Terraposh will automatically create a HardLink to the Terraform vendored binary
