Read locals from another folder

Terraform
4

Hi,

Thx for your answers/solutions, they both work !

Here are the config files for each method if anyone else needs it.

1st Method : terraform_remote_state

Directory structure :

  • Folder_AAA
    — AAA.tf
    — outputs.tf
  • Folder_BBB
    — BBB.tf

Folder_AAA/AAA.tf =

locals {
  mylocals = {
    AAA_test = "AAA"
    AAA2_test = "AAA2"
    AAA3_test = ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8"]
  }
}

Folder_AAA/outputs.tf =

output "AAA_locals" {
  value = local.mylocals
}

Folder_BBB/BBB.tf =

data "terraform_remote_state" "AAA_Project" {
  backend = "local"

  config = {
    path = "../Folder_AAA/terraform.tfstate"
  }
}

output "AAA" {
  value = data.terraform_remote_state.AAA_Project.outputs.AAA_locals.AAA_test
}

2nd Method : yamldecode

Directory structure :

  • Folder_AAA
    — AAA.tf
  • Folder_BBB
    — BBB.tf
  • shared_locals.yml

shared_locals.yml =

AAA_test: "AAA"
AAA2_test: "AAA2"
AAA3_test:
   - "1.1.1.1"
   - "8.8.8.8"

Folder_BBB/BBB.tf =

locals {
  shared_locals = yamldecode(file("../shared_locals.yml"))
}

output "AAA" {
  value = local.shared_locals.AAA_test
}
