[![Setup Terraform](https://github.com/hashicorp/setup-terraform/actions/workflows/setup-terraform.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/hashicorp/setup-terraform/actions/workflows/setup-terraform.yml)



The `hashicorp/setup-terraform` action is a JavaScript action that sets up Terraform CLI in your GitHub Actions workflow by:



- Downloading a specific version of Terraform CLI and adding it to the `PATH`.

- Configuring the [Terraform CLI configuration file](https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/cli-config.html) with a HCP Terraform/Terraform Enterprise hostname and API token.

- Installing a wrapper script to wrap subsequent calls of the `terraform` binary and expose its STDOUT, STDERR, and exit code as outputs named `stdout`, `stderr`, and `exitcode` respectively. (This can be optionally skipped if subsequent steps in the same job do not need to access the results of Terraform commands.)



After you've used the action, subsequent steps in the same job can run arbitrary Terraform commands using [the GitHub Actions `run` syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsrun). This allows most Terraform commands to work exactly like they do on your local command line.



## Usage



This action can be run on `ubuntu-latest`, `windows-latest`, and `macos-latest` GitHub Actions runners. When running on `windows-latest` the shell should be set to Bash. When running on self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, NodeJS must be previously installed with the version specified in the [`action.yml`](https://github.com/hashicorp/setup-terraform/blob/main/action.yml).



The default configuration installs the latest version of Terraform CLI and installs the wrapper script to wrap subsequent calls to the `terraform` binary:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3

```



A specific version of Terraform CLI can be installed:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3

  with:

    terraform_version: "1.1.7"

```



Credentials for HCP Terraform ([app.terraform.io](https://app.terraform.io/)) can be configured:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3

  with:

    cli_config_credentials_token: ${{ secrets.TF_API_TOKEN }}

```



Credentials for Terraform Enterprise (TFE) can be configured:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3

  with:

    cli_config_credentials_hostname: 'terraform.example.com'

    cli_config_credentials_token: ${{ secrets.TF_API_TOKEN }}

```



The wrapper script installation can be skipped by setting the `terraform_wrapper` variable to `false`:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3

  with:

    terraform_wrapper: false

```



Subsequent steps can access outputs when the wrapper script is installed:



```yaml

steps:

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3



- run: terraform init



- id: plan

  run: terraform plan -no-color



- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.stdout }}

- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.stderr }}

- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.exitcode }}

```



Outputs can be used in subsequent steps to comment on the pull request:



> **Notice:** There's a limit to the number of characters inside a GitHub comment (65535).

>

> Due to that limitation, you might end up with a failed workflow run even if the plan succeeded.

>

> Another approach is to append your plan into the $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY environment variable which supports markdown.



```yaml

      #### Terraform Validation 🤖\`${{ steps.validate.outcome }}\`

      Validation Output

      Show Plan



      \`\`\`\n

      ${process.env.PLAN}

      \`\`\`



      



      *Pusher: @${{ github.actor }}, Action: \`${{ github.event_name }}\`, Working Directory: \`${{ env.tf_actions_working_dir }}\`, Workflow: \`${{ github.workflow }}\`*`;



      github.rest.issues.createComment({

        issue_number: context.issue.number,

        owner: context.repo.owner,

        repo: context.repo.repo,

        body: output

      })

```



Instead of creating a new comment each time, you can also update an existing one:



```yaml

defaults:

  run:

    working-directory: ${{ env.tf_actions_working_dir }}

permissions:

  pull-requests: write

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4

- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3



- name: Terraform fmt

  id: fmt

  run: terraform fmt -check

  continue-on-error: true



- name: Terraform Init

  id: init

  run: terraform init



- name: Terraform Validate

  id: validate

  run: terraform validate -no-color



- name: Terraform Plan

  id: plan

  run: terraform plan -no-color

  continue-on-error: true



- uses: actions/github-script@v7

  if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'

  env:

    PLAN: "terraform\n${{ steps.plan.outputs.stdout }}"

  with:

    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

    script: |

      // 1. Retrieve existing bot comments for the PR

      const { data: comments } = await github.rest.issues.listComments({

        owner: context.repo.owner,

        repo: context.repo.repo,

        issue_number: context.issue.number,

      })

      const botComment = comments.find(comment => {

        return comment.user.type === 'Bot' && comment.body.includes('Terraform Format and Style')

      })



      // 2. Prepare format of the comment

      const output = `#### Terraform Format and Style 🖌\`${{ steps.fmt.outcome }}\`

      #### Terraform Initialization ⚙️\`${{ steps.init.outcome }}\`

      #### Terraform Validation 🤖\`${{ steps.validate.outcome }}\`

      Validation Output



      \`\`\`\n

      ${{ steps.validate.outputs.stdout }}

      \`\`\`



      



      #### Terraform Plan 📖\`${{ steps.plan.outcome }}\`



      Show Plan



      \`\`\`\n

      ${process.env.PLAN}

      \`\`\`



      



      *Pusher: @${{ github.actor }}, Action: \`${{ github.event_name }}\`, Working Directory: \`${{ env.tf_actions_working_dir }}\`, Workflow: \`${{ github.workflow }}\`*`;



      // 3. If we have a comment, update it, otherwise create a new one

      if (botComment) {

        github.rest.issues.updateComment({

          owner: context.repo.owner,

          repo: context.repo.repo,

          comment_id: botComment.id,

          body: output

        })

      } else {

        github.rest.issues.createComment({

          issue_number: context.issue.number,

          owner: context.repo.owner,

          repo: context.repo.repo,

          body: output

        })

      }

```



## Inputs



The action supports the following inputs:



- `cli_config_credentials_hostname` - (optional) The hostname of a HCP Terraform/Terraform Enterprise instance to

   place within the credentials block of the Terraform CLI configuration file. Defaults to `app.terraform.io`.

- `cli_config_credentials_token` - (optional) The API token for a HCP Terraform/Terraform Enterprise instance to

   place within the credentials block of the Terraform CLI configuration file.

- `terraform_version` - (optional) The version of Terraform CLI to install. Instead of a full version string,

   you can also specify a constraint string (see [Semver Ranges](https://www.npmjs.com/package/semver#ranges)

   for available range specifications). Examples are: `"<1.2.0"`, `"~1.1.0"`, `"1.1.7"` (all three installing

   the latest available `1.1` version). Prerelease versions can be specified and a range will stay within the

   given tag such as `beta` or `rc`. If no version is given, it will default to `latest`.

- `terraform_wrapper` - (optional) Whether to install a wrapper to wrap subsequent calls of

   the `terraform` binary and expose its STDOUT, STDERR, and exit code as outputs

   named `stdout`, `stderr`, and `exitcode` respectively. Defaults to `true`.



## Outputs



This action does not configure any outputs directly. However, when you set the `terraform_wrapper` input

to `true`, the following outputs are available for subsequent steps that call the `terraform` binary:



- `stdout` - The STDOUT stream of the call to the `terraform` binary.

- `stderr` - The STDERR stream of the call to the `terraform` binary.

- `exitcode` - The exit code of the call to the `terraform` binary.
