Root_dir is not applied

[etienne-napoleone]

Hi!
I've been testing drone-terraform and can't get root_dir to work:

---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: terraform

steps:
- name: plan
  image: jmccann/drone-terraform:6
  plan: true
  root_dir: terraform
  volumes:
    - name: docker
      path: /var/run/docker.sock

volumes:
  - name: docker
    host:
      path: /var/run/docker.sock

➜ tree .

├── README.md
├── .drone.yml
└── terraform
    └── main.tf

➜ drone exec --trusted

[plan:20] Plan requires configuration to be present. Planning without a configuration
[plan:21] would mark everything for destruction, which is normally not what is desired.
[plan:22] If you would like to destroy everything, run plan with the -destroy option.
[plan:23] Otherwise, create a Terraform configuration file (.tf file) and try again.

If I put the file in the root directory, it will be planned.

hi,
having exactly the same issue, did you find out the problem ?

Thanks

Hi!
Nope, ended up doing it without plugins using the terraform docker image

@etienne-napoleone I had the same issue, but I made root_dir work as follows:

- name: terraform
  image: jmccann/drone-terraform
  settings:
    root_dir: terraform/
  environment:
    ...

[etienne-napoleone]

Thanks @henriquegibin , I guess that should be fixed or better documented at least

[jmccann]

I'm guessing this is due to latest versions of Drone. Docs written for this plugin were for Drone 0.8.0. I've not used any version past that tbh. Open to a PR to update docs otherwise I'll try to get to it sometime.

Is this going to be fixed? I can't use the plugin if this is not solved. @jmccann
