Terraform Acc Test

Terraform Acc Test

Overview

Run Terraform provider acceptance tests with the repository's test environment loaded first. Prefer the bundled runner because it locates the requested test function with rg before choosing the Go package.

Workflow

1. Check the current repository and confirm the requested test pattern.
2. Locate the test function before running Go tests: rg -n "func[[:space:]]+TestName[[:space:]]*\\(" --glob '*_test.go' .
3. Use the containing directory as the Go package unless the user explicitly provided --package.
4. Load .env.test from the repo root. If only .evn.test exists, use it and treat the spelling as intentional.
5. Run the test with TF_ACC=1, go test -count=1, verbose output, and a long timeout.
6. Keep the process open until it exits. Report the located package, command, pass/fail result, and the relevant failure lines if it fails.

Quick Start

From the repository root:

.agents/skills/terraform-acc-test/scripts/run_acc_test.sh

Defaults:

• Package: auto-located from the requested test function with rg
• Test pattern: TestAccOnDemandClusterResource
• Timeout: 120m
• Count: 1

Override values:

.agents/skills/terraform-acc-test/scripts/run_acc_test.sh \
  --run TestAccOnDemandClusterResource \
  --timeout 120m \
  --count 1

Use --package only when auto-location is ambiguous or when running a broader package pattern:

.agents/skills/terraform-acc-test/scripts/run_acc_test.sh \
  --package ./internal/on_demand_cluster/... \
  --run TestAccOnDemandClusterResource

Pass extra go test flags after --:

.agents/skills/terraform-acc-test/scripts/run_acc_test.sh -- --failfast

Direct Command

Use this if the user provides an exact command and wants no runner script:

test_file="$(rg -l --glob '*_test.go' 'func[[:space:]]+TestAccOnDemandClusterResource[[:space:]]*\(' .)"
test_package="./$(dirname "${test_file#./}")"
set -a
source .env.test
set +a
TF_ACC=1 go test -count=1 "$test_package" -run TestAccOnDemandClusterResource -v -timeout 120m

If .env.test is missing but .evn.test exists, replace source .env.test with source .evn.test.

Notes

• Acceptance tests may create or delete real cloud resources. Run them only when the user asks for acceptance tests or TF_ACC=1.
• Do not print secrets from .env.test or .evn.test.
• If the worktree is dirty, do not revert unrelated changes before running tests.
• If rg finds no matching test function, stop and report that the test could not be located instead of running a stale default package.
• For long-running tests, use a TTY session and poll until completion.
