Call For Maintainers

This plugin, along with others like it, is now maintained by the HashiVim organization, which is looking for additional maintainers and contributors. See the HashiVim home page for further information.

Overview: vim-terraform

This plugin adds a :Terraform command that runs terraform, with tab completion of subcommands. It also sets up *.tf, *.tfvars, and *.tfstate files to be highlighted as HCL, HCL, and JSON respectively.

For Terraform 0.6.15 or greater, this plugin also adds a :TerraformFmt command that runs terraform fmt against the current buffer. Set g:terraform_fmt_on_save to 1 to run terraform fmt automatically when saving *.tf or *.tfvars files.

Installation

With pathogen.vim just do:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/hashivim/vim-terraform.git

If you prefer to use something besides pathogen, go ahead.

Usage

Allow vim-terraform to override your .vimrc indentation syntax for matching files. Defaults to 0 which is off.

let g:terraform_align=1

If you use the vim-commentary plugin, you should set the following option in your ~/.vimrc. See TOOLS-1 for more details.

autocmd FileType terraform setlocal commentstring=#%s

Updating vim-terraform

Note, this is only for maintainers of the vim-terraform project.

When a new version of Terraform drops, you can run the following where x.x.x is a version such as 0.8.7

./update_automagic.sh x.x.x

You will see the following truncated output

+) Extracting terraform-0.8.7.tar.gz
+) Running update_commands.rb
+) Running update_data_sources.rb
+) Running update_syntax.rb
+) Cleaning up after ourselves
