Testing the Datadog provider

The CLI script provided is used to test importing Datadog resources with terraformer. The tool will create resources using Terraform CLI and import them using terraformer. The imported resources will be stored in the generated/ directory.

Note: The script will create and destroy real resources. Never run this on a production Datadog organization.

Requirements

• terraform version >= 0.12.x

Script usage

Terraform 0.12.x

Run the script from the projects root directory:

go run ./tests/datadog/

• Test should run successfully without exiting

Terraform 0.13.x

Run the script from the projects root directory and pass the terraform version using DATADOG_TF_VERSION env var:

DATADOG_TF_VERSION=0.13.x LOG_CMD_OUTPUT=true go run ./tests/datadog/

• Terraformer currently generates resources using terraform version 0.12.29 and HCLv1 standards. When using terraform version 0.13.x, the script will fail due to outputs diffs when running terraform plan on the generated resources. This is due to differences in how outputs are references in state files.

• Manually ensure that generated diffs are regarding outputs only. E.g:

Plan: 0 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Changes to Outputs:
    ~ datadog_dashboard_tfer--dashboard_gwh-002D-a7r-002D-cfs_id = "<resource-ID>" -> "datadog_dashboard.tfer--dashboard_gwh-002D-a7r-002D-cfs.id"

Frequently Asked Questions

2020/10/26 15:08:34 Message: Error while importing resources. Error: fork/exec : no such file or directory

• Above error indicates that Terraformer is unable to locate the datadog provider executable. Manually pass the dir of the plugin's directory using env var TF_PLUGIN_DIR. E.g. TF_PLUGIN_DIR=~/.terraform.d/
