Hi! I’m trying to use the plugin framework / template as described in the docs to start development work on a new Terraform provider. The code I’ve put together so far is available at GitHub - strickvl/terraform-provider-huggingface-spaces: A Terraform/OpenTofu provider for deploying Hugging Face Spaces, but the main things I’ve amended are the main.go file and the provider.go file.
I’m developing on a Mac, and my .terraformrc file looks like this:
provider_installation {
dev_overrides {
"strickvl/huggingface-spaces" = "/Users/strickvl/go/bin/"
}
direct {}
}
And I’ve set up a test HCL file to try this out on which contains:
terraform {
required_providers {
huggingface-spaces = {
source = "strickvl/huggingface-spaces"
}
}
}
provider "huggingface-spaces" {
token = var.huggingface_token
}
variable "huggingface_token" {
type = string
description = "The Hugging Face API token."
sensitive = true
}
Now when I run terraform init, I get the following:

So clearly it appears to be still trying to query the registry. Running terraform providers gives me:

When I look into /Users/strickvl/Go/bin/, there is indeed a binary file called: terraform-provider-huggingface-spaces which I built from the main repo linked above.
I’m a bit unsure how to proceed here. The docs don’t really go into detail how this works and this is my first time creating a provider, so I’d appreciate if someone could explain how I can get this override set up.
