Terraform is a tool for building and changing infrastructure
|
|
safetly and efficiently.
|
|
|
|
## Developing Terraform
|
|
|
|
If you wish to work on Terraform itself or any of its built-in providers,
|
|
you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed (version 1.2+ is
|
|
_required_). Make sure Go is properly installed, including setting up
|
|
a [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH). Make sure Go is compiled
|
|
with cgo support. You can verify this by running `go env` and checking that
|
|
`CGOENABLED` is set to "1".
|
|
|
|
Next, install [Git](http://git-scm.com/), which is needed for some dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Then, install [Gox](https://github.com/mitchellh/gox), which is used
|
|
as a compilation tool on top of Go:
|
|
|
|
$ go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox
|
|
|
|
Next, clone this repository into `$GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform`
|
|
and then just type `make`. This will compile some dependencies and then
|
|
run the tests. If this exits with exit status 0, then everything is working!
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
To compile a development version of Terraform and the built-in plugins,
|
|
run `make dev`. This will put Terraform binaries in the `bin` folder:
|
|
|
|
$ make dev
|
|
...
|
|
$ bin/terraform
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're developing a specific package, you can run tests for just that
|
|
package by specifying the `TEST` variable. For example below, only
|
|
`terraform` package tests will be run.
|
|
|
|
$ make test TEST=./terraform
|
|
...
