Terraform Provider mssql

:warning: NOTE: Because the provider as it stands covers all of our current use cases, we will not be dedicating much time and effort to supporting it. We will, however, gladly accept pull requests. We will try to review and release those in a timely manner. Pull requests with included tests and documentation will be prioritized.

Requirements

• Terraform 1.5.x
• Go 1.21 (to build the provider plugin)

I recommend using tfvm to manage Terraform versions. The Makefile assumes that tfvm is installed to use the correct version of Terraform when running tests.

Usage

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.5"
  required_providers {
    mssql = {
      versions = "~> 0.2"
      source = "betr-io/mssql"
    }
  }
}

provider "mssql" {}

Building the provider

Clone the repository

git clone git@github.com:betr-io/terraform-provider-mssql

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

cd terraform-provider-mssql
make build

To build and install the provider locally

make install

Developing the provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.21+).

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider.

To run the unit test, you can simply run make test.

To run acceptance tests against a local SQL Server running in Docker, you must have Docker installed. You can then run the following commands

make docker-start
TESTARGS=-count=1 make testacc-local
make docker-stop

This will spin up a SQL server running in a container on your local machine, run the tests that can run against a SQL Server, and destroy the container.

In order to run the full suite of acceptance tests, run make testacc. Again, to spin up a local SQL Server container in docker, and corresponding resources in Azure, modify test-fixtures/all/terraform.tfvars to match your environment and run

make azure-create
TESTARGS=-count=1 make testacc
make azure-destroy

NOTE: This will create resources in Azure and will incur costs.

Note to self: Remember to set current IP address in test-fixtures/all/terraform.tfvars, and activate Global Administrator in PIM to run Azure tests.

Release provider

To create a release, do:

• Update CHANGELOG.md.
• Update VERSION in Makefile (only used for installing the provider when developing).
• Push a new valid version tag (e.g. v1.2.3) to GitHub.
• See also Publishing Providers.
