Hi,
I am trying to upgrade Terraform 0.14.11 to Terraform v1.0.11
Terraform Plan shows clean in both the versions.
the state file shows the version “terraform_version”: “0.14.11”
when i run refresh/apply on Terraform v1.0.11. the state file doesn’t get updated. through apply successful, the version in the state file still shows as 0.14.11.
can someone please suggest on this, how will the version in the state file gets updated to v1.0.11 ?
Thanks,
Srikanth.
The Terraform version recorded within the state is only a record of which version last wrote any changes for internal use. If there were no changes to make, then the last version recorded will not be changed. If you have run apply with the latest version of Terraform, then for all intents and purposes the state has been fully upgraded.
I really think that this answer should be on the upgrade documents somewhere. I spent a little while trying to make sure that this was the case. I’m in the middle of a large scale upgrade from version 0.12 to 1.* and a lot our state files only updated to 14 or 15.
