Using the provider
Fill in for each provider
Developing the Provider
If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.10+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin
to your $PATH
.
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-alicloud
...
Running make dev
or make devlinux
or devwin
will only build the specified developing provider which matchs the local system.
And then, it will unarchive the provider binary and then replace the local provider plugin.
In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test
.
$ 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.
$ make testacc
