• Vultr Website: https://www.vultr.com
• Terraform Website: https://www.terraform.io

Requirements

• Terraform 0.10.x
• Go 1.11 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

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

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

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

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

Link the build to Terraform

$ln -s $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-vultr ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-vultr 

Using the provider

See the Vultr Provider documentation to get started using the Vultr provider.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.11+ 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-vultr
...

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

In order to run a specific acceptance test, use the TESTARGS environment variable. For example, the following command will run TestAccVultrUser_base acceptance test only:

$ make testacc TESTARGS='-run=TestAccVultrUser_base'
