Terraform Provider

• Website: https://www.terraform.io

• Mailing list: Google Groups

Requirements

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

Building The Provider

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

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

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

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

Using the provider

Fill in for each 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 bin
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-gitlab
...

Running tests

The Terraform Provider only has acceptance tests, these can run against a gitlab instance where you have a token with administrator permissions (likely not gitlab.com). There is excellent documentation on how to run gitlab from docker at gitlab.com

In order to run the full suite of acceptance tests, export the environment variables:

• GITLAB_TOKEN //token for account with admin priviliges
• GITLAB_BASE_URL //URL with api part e.g. http://localhost:8929/api/v4/

and run make testacc.

$ make testacc
