Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.13.x

Using the provider

To install the BigAnimal provider, copy and paste this code into your Terraform configuration. Then, run terraform init.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    biganimal = {
      source = "EnterpriseDB/biganimal"
      version = "0.2.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "biganimal" {
  # Configuration options
    ba_bearer_token = <redacted> // See Getting an API Token section for details
  // ba_api_uri   = "https://portal.biganimal.com/api/v3" // Optional
}

You can also set the BA_BEARER_TOKEN and BA_API_URI env vars. When those environment variables are present, you don't need to add any configuration options to the provider block described above.

export BA_BEARER_TOKEN=<redacted>
export BA_API_URI=https://portal.biganimal.com/api/v3

Getting an API Token

In order to access the BigAnimal API, it's necessary to fetch an api bearer token and either export it into your environment or add this token to the provider block.

Please visit Using the get-token script for more details.

Development

Please make sure to read the Contributing guideline first.

dev overrides

Terraform can be configured by adding the following to your ~/.terraformrc file.

provider_installation {
  # Use /home/developer/tmp/terraform-provider-biganimal as an overridden package directory
  # for the EnterpriseDB/biganimal provider. This disables the version and checksum
  # verifications for this provider and forces Terraform to look for the
  # null provider plugin in the given directory.
  dev_overrides {
      "registry.terraform.io/EnterpriseDB/biganimal" = "/home/<YOUR_HOME>/tmp/terraform-provider-biganimal"
  }

  # 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 {}
}

filesystem mirror

Another way to test the local code is using the filesystem_mirror declaration in your ~/.terraformrc file. After you compile and install your local copy with the make install command, the following ~/.terraformrc` configuration allows you to declare installation path explicitly.

provider_installation {

  direct {
    exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/EnterpriseDB/biganimal"]
  }
  filesystem_mirror {
    path    = "/Users/<YOUR_HOME>/.terraform.d/plugins"
    include = ["registry.terraform.io/EnterpriseDB/biganimal"]
  }
}

For more info about filesystem_mirror, please visit Terraform Documentation of Explicit Installation Method Configuration

Debugging the provider

If you're using Vscode, you can use the embedded Golang Debugger. Intro to debugging in Vscode is here.

There is already a .vscode/launch.json file, so you can easily run Debug - Attach External CLI in the Run and Debug section, which is going to print a TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS env var if your code builds successfully. The env var looks similar to this one:

$> TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS='{"registry.terraform.io/EnterpriseDB/biganimal":{"Protocol":"grpc","ProtocolVersion":5,"Pid":14123,"Test":true,"Addr":{"Network":"unix","String":"/var/folders/99/kt3b7rgn7wbcc55jt9zv_rch0000gn/T/plugin608643082"}}}'

You can navigate to the folders under examples/ directory and run your terraform commands with this env var:

$> TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS='{"registry.terraform.io/EnterpriseDB/biganimal":{"Protocol":"grpc","ProtocolVersion":5,"Pid":14123,"Test":true,"Addr":{"Network":"unix","String":"/var/folders/99/kt3b7rgn7wbcc55jt9zv_rch0000gn/T/plugin608643082"}}}' terraform plan
