This provider provides tools for running commands locally.
This provides two options:
-
The datasource Run
executes the command during the Read
phase, every time you run Terraform (unlike local-exec
with null_resource
). This is for things like Makefile
which should have quick no-op builds.
-
The resource Run
executes the command if any parameters or explicit dependencies change. You can also do this with the local-run
provisioner, but this can be more convenient.
Both allow you to list file outputs and will calculate the hash for outputs if you need them for another command.
Run
cdktf provider add andrewbaxter/localrun
See the dropdown on the Registry page.
Documentation
See the Registry or look at docs/
.
Building
Make sure git submodules are cloned and up to date with git submodule update --init
.
Run
./build.sh
This will generate the source files and render the docs.
Technical Details
This uses a fake _auto_update
attribute which synthetically changes every time the provider's Read
operation is called, causing Terraform to believe the resource is out of sync and needs an update.
