Is there any workaround available for this? It looks like this provider is unusable in GH Actions without this working.

[benlangfeld]

It looks like this is a usable workaround:

variable "pagerduty_token" {}

provider "pagerduty" {
  token = var.pagerduty_token
}

TF_VAR_pagerduty_token=foobar terraform plan ...

[carusooo]

The documentation seems to indicate that the token doesn't need to be passed in as plaintext, with no examples, support and it's broken right out of the box.

It can also be sourced from the PAGERDUTY_USER_TOKEN environment variable. See [API Documentation](https://developer.pagerduty.com/docs/ZG9jOjExMDI5NTUx-authentication) for more information.

Looks like this was fixed in https://github.com/PagerDuty/terraform-provider-pagerduty/pull/708. Setting PAGERDUTY_TOKEN works for me now.
