MERAKI_DEBUG environment variable doesn't work

[zbuchheit]

Prerequisites

• [x] Have you tested the operation in the API directly?
• [x] Do you have the latest Terraform provider version?
• [x] Review the compatibility matrix before opening an issue.

Describe the bug When attempting to use MERAKI_DEBUG=true environment variable with the provider, it doesn't appear to work. Setting it explicitly on the provider works.

Expected behavior Allow use of environment variable MERAKI_DEBUG to get additional debug logs and api calls.

Screenshots Please provide an screenshot of the successful API call with cuRL, Postman, etc.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Meraki Dashboard version:
• Terraform version: 0.2.9-alpha
• Meraki provider version:
• OS Version:

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Which OS are you running? I just tested with Ubuntu 22.04 running this with the export MERAKI_DEBUG="true" environment variable set and then turning on the terraform logging to debug i am able to get the debug output correctly without having to include it in the provider block within my code.

If you aren't seeing any log output you may need to change the TF_log level to debug which can be done on ubuntu with export TF_LOG="DEBUG"

hi, thanks for the speedy response.

I am on macOS 14.2.1 I have tried zsh and bash and neither seem to work for me.

This is my minimal setup

terraform {
  required_providers {
    meraki = {
      source = "cisco-open/meraki"
      version = "0.2.9-alpha"
    }
  }
}

data "meraki_devices" "example" {
  organization_id = redacted
}

running TF_LOG=debug MERAKI_DEBUG="true" terraform plan and running the export permutations doesn't seem to work either.

Hi Zach, Can you kindly add meraki_debug = "true" in the TF file?

terraform {
  required_providers {
    meraki = {
      version = "0.2.9-alpha"
      source = "cisco-open/meraki"
    }
  }
}
provider "meraki" {
  meraki_debug = "true"
}

[zbuchheit]

yeah, when I do that it is able to debug as desired. It just doesn't appear to work with the environment variable.

[obrigg]

I see. We can look at making it clearer that this is a configuration in the TF file and not an environment variable (as opposed to TF_LOG=DEBUG, required by Terraform).

[zbuchheit]

The docs detail it should work https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cisco-open/meraki/latest/docs

and looking in the code at a quick glance it looks like it should work but I am unsure why it isn't working for me https://github.com/cisco-open/terraform-provider-meraki/blob/f64fb0a70e9026ee7629cfbebb5eed24adec8551/internal/provider/provider.go#L138

There are instances where it would be more convenient to just use the env variable as opposed to explicitly in the code itself.

@zbuchheit please try it with new version and update us.

[zbuchheit]

it looks to be working now with the latest version. Thanks!
