we have value of variable which we pass from gitlab secrets and running tftree it requires it and tftree fails.

Hi @fogers777, thanks for coming forward!
This is already possible, although I admit it should be documented. My bad.
Terraform supports setting variables in the environment. For example, to set the foo
variable to bar
:
TF_VAR_foo=bar tftree
Similarly, you can set flags for specific commands. To use the -var-file
flag:
TF_CLI_ARGS_plan="-var-file=production.tfvars" tftree
The complete list of available environment variables is in Terraform's documentation here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/environment-variables
I hope this solves your issue. Let me know if it does 🙂
