Terraform::Binary

A gem to install and interface with HashiCorp's Terraform utility

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'terraform-binary'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install terraform-binary

Usage

You need to specify which version of HashiCorp Terraform to use. You can also specify where to save the binary file.

require 'terraform/binary'

Terraform::Binary.configure do |config|
  config.version = '1.0.4'
  config.download_path = '/tmp'
end

Dynamic Methods

The Terraform::Binary module will automagically map method calls to terraform commands. This serves to better support future versions of terraform and potentially new commands. For example, the equivalent of terraform plan test/dir in Ruby:

Terraform::Binary.plan('test/dir')

If you call a method not supported by the terraform binary, you will get a Terraform::Binary::Command::CommandFailure exception.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
