Overview ¶
Package e2etest contains a set of tests that run against a real Terraform binary, compiled on the fly at the start of the test run.
These tests help ensure that key end-to-end Terraform use-cases are working for a real binary, whereas other tests always have at least _some_ amount of test stubbing.
The goal of this package is not to duplicate the functional testing done in other packages but rather to fully exercise a few important workflows in a realistic way.
These tests can be used in two ways. The simplest way is to just run them with "go test" as normal:
go test -v github.com/opentofu/opentofu/internal/command/e2etest
This will compile on the fly a Terraform binary and run the tests against it.
Alternatively, the make-archive.sh script can be used to produce a self-contained zip file that can be shipped to another machine to run the tests there without needing a locally-installed Go compiler. This is primarily useful for testing cross-compiled builds during our release process. For more information, see the commentary in make-archive.sh.
The TF_ACC environment variable must be set for the tests to reach out to external network services. Since these are end-to-end tests, only a few very basic tests can execute without this environment variable set.
