Tool to format embedded acceptance test terraform manifests

Terraform Providers Plugin Development
1

Hey everyone,

To develop the terraform provider for aiven we are making heavy use of acceptance tests using embedded terraform manifests. Formatting those can be a challenge so we developed a small tool to terraform fmt those embedded manifests: GitHub - aiven/tfprovidertestfmt: Small tool to `terraform fmt` embedded manifests for acceptance testing

Maybe that is helpful to other provider developers too!

On the same page, there’s GitHub - katbyte/terrafmt: Format terraform blocks embedded in files. It would be interesting to see how they differ.

Hey @pdecat ,

Thanks i was not aware of that tool to be honest! Thats seems like a better and more mature option :slightly_smiling_face:
