Failure trying to build test AWS provider locally

Terraform Providers AWS
3

Hi @tbugfinder,

Thanks for your reply, do I not? I’ve actually got it working using the method described in the doc I linked to (although I’ve since realised that is out of date). I discovered that I was getting the issue I mentioned because somehow I was using go 1.14 rather than 1.15 when building.

To summarise the method I used:

  1. Build Terraform
  2. Build the Terraform Provider
  3. Execute the locally built Terraform binary, which seems to look in its own folder (or possible down the ${GOPATH}) for the provider binary. Having built the provider binary it appears right at the top of the path so uses the locally built provider.

I’m not sure if that’s still the preferred way of doing it? Would be grateful for any more up to date instructions if any exist.

Many thanks,

Edd
