(job-exec) Terracurl limitations

[tanguynicolas]

Hello,

I find the use of Terracurl a little limiting. I have a case where I need to wait for the job to fully complete its work before creating another resource.

So instead I use the gcloud module like this (with --wait):

module "gcloud" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/gcloud/google"
  version = "~> 3.4"

  platform = "linux"

  create_cmd_entrypoint  = "gcloud"
  create_cmd_body        = "run jobs execute --project=<project_id> --region=<location> <job_name> --wait"

  depends_on = [ module.cloud_run_job ]
}

Is there any particular reason to use a direct HTTP request rather than the gcloud module, which seems to be better in terms of functionality and code simplicity?

Would you be interested in a merge request?

Hi @tanguynicolas terracurl was specifically chosen as we didn't want to take dependency on gcloud being installed in the system that is executing TF
