Atlantis plan via curl

[ginski47]

Hello,

How would we do an atlantis plan through curl?

Also, we need to extract the atlantis plan command from the gitlab http request? Could you kindly tell us what field in the body we need to look for - that would be great.

I also created this duplicate issue terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-atlantis#165 but i guess it can be ignored depending on who answers me first :)

Atlantis does not expose a direct RPC API where you could have it execute a plan directly via curl. Instead, Atlantis reacts to webhook events from the various version control systems it supports. Those events are posted to the /events path where they are then parsed into the appropriate commands on the server side.

You could mimic a gitlab "atlantis plan" comment through curl but I am not sure that quite gets what you are after as the result will still be posted as a comment to your merge request. The specific structure for these requests can be seen here: https://github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab/blob/49181212cbaa23be36579a67a838e1ddce3684af/event_webhook_types.go#L311

There are now /plan and /apply endpoints. See pr #997.
