This is the worst code I've written in a long time. It doesn't use types, it's badly commented, there are short variable names and zero tests.
TL;DR: Here be dragons
Whilst working on some Terraform files I lost quite a lot of time to the fact that I'd copied and pasted a resource and forgotten to change it's name. This meant that when Terraform tried to create the second one it errored out with a non-helpful error message that the resource was already in use.
This script reads HCL from STDIN and outputs the name of any resources that
have the same value for a specified field. You'll need to edit main.go to
specify your searches (sorry about that)
Given the following input:
main.go
searches["azurerm_network_security_group"]
Running the following command:
cat /path/to/project/*.tf| go run main.go
Will output something that looks like the following if there are duplicates:
#########################
## azurerm_network_security_group
#########################
- name :: [api_sg db_sg]
I wanted to reuse the actual Terraform HCL parser and not write one myself.
