Infrastructure: Tooling

Unlike the frontend and backend code there is no tool to write scripts in, instead the direct terraform commands should be used.

Formatting

Terraform comes with an in-build formatter which can be invoked to autoformat your code,

Run this command in infrastructure/

terraform fmt

and to check if your code meets the formatting rules,

Run this command in infrastructure/

terraform fmt --check=true

Linting

Terraform also comes with a tool to check your code,

Run this command in infrastructure/

terraform validate

Testing

I currently don't know of a good technique to test the Terraform code, other than running

Run this command in infrastructure/

terraform plan

and checking the output makes sense.

Note

These commands won't work or do much yet, as we have no terraform files to format, lint, or test.
