Terraform Provider

NOTE: We are in the process of planning v2 of the provider which will not be backwards compatible. See the v2Plan for further details.

• Website: https://www.terraform.io
• 
• Mailing list: Google Groups

Requirements

• Terraform 0.10.x
• Go 1.10 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-vcd

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-vcd

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-vcd
$ make build

Using the 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-vcd
...

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

The acceptance tests will run against your own vCloud Director setup, using the configuration in your file ./vcd/vcd_test_config.json See the file ./vcd/sample_vcd_test_config.json for an example of which variables need to be defined.

Installing the built provider

For a more thorough test using the Terraform client, you may want to transfer the plugin in the Terraform directory. A make command can do this for you:

$ make install

This command will build the plugin and transfer it to $HOME/.terraform/plugins, with a name that includes the version (as taken from the ./VERSION file).
