Maintainers

This provider plugin is maintained by the Consul team at HashiCorp.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.13.x
• Go >= 1.15

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

$ go install

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

To compile the provider, run go install. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc. This should be performed before merging or opening pull requests.

$ consul agent -dev -config-file ./consul_test.hcl &
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=localhost:8500
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN=master-token
$ make testacc

Testing the resources specific to Consul Enterprise requires a running Consul Enterprise server. It is possible to use the Consul Enterprise Docker image which has a license valid for six hours during development:

$ docker run --rm \
             -d \
             --name consul-test \
             -v $PWD/consul_test.hcl:/consul_test.hcl:ro \
             -p 8500:8500 \
             hashicorp/consul-enterprise:latest consul agent -dev -config-file consul_test.hcl -client=0.0.0.0
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=localhost:8500
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN=master-token
$ make testacc
$ docker stop consul-test

Running the tests requires a running Consul agent locally. This provider targets the latest version of Consul, but older versions should be compatible where possible. In some cases, older versions of this provider will work with older versions of Consul.

If you have Docker installed, you can run Consul with the following command:

$ make test-serv

By default, this will use the latest version of Consul based on the latest image in the Docker repository. You can specify a version with the following:

$ CONSUL_VERSION=1.0.1 make test-serv

This command will run attached and will stop Consul when interrupted. Images will be cached locally by Docker so it is quicky to restart the server as necessary. This will expose Consul on the default adddress.

Nightly acceptance tests are run against the latest tag of the Consul Docker image. To run the acceptance tests against a development version of Consul, you can compile it locally and then run it in development mode:

$ consul agent -dev

It is also possible to run additional tests to test the provider with multiple datacenters:

$ consul agent -dev -config-file ./consul_test_dc2.hcl &
$ consul agent -dev -config-file ./consul_test.hcl &
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=localhost:8500
$ export CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN=master-token
$ TEST_REMOTE_DATACENTER=1 make testacc
