Outdated provider version in terraform registry #233

Closed ermyril closed 4 months ago

ermyril commented 4 months ago

Hi guys! I've noticed that it seems impossible to get v0.16.0 from terraform registry, the latest version is 0.15.0 Is it expected and just part of a release process or you can update it?

It seems that the only option for using latest version at the moment is to build it locally? or is it possible to somehow point terraform to github?

Thank you

hey @ermyril you are right - the only way to use master branch is to build it locally. We already had this discussion in #107 but Terraform registry does not allow any -beta or nightly builds.

There are several ways how we can handle this. One way, that is impelmented, is to build it locally - but requires Go to be installed.

As of other possible improvements, I see:

  1. Build it locally in container (requires Docker to be installed and use custom tfrc file)
  2. Introduce nightly mode, let's say via changing current terraform config file to custom, which pulls provider from different repo (requires changes in CI to push nightly builds somewhere)

@ermyril @ddelnano wdyt about it?

@maksym-nazarenko, thank you for such a timely reply!

I don't think that building a golang app is such a big deal to bother with docker tbh, I was able to build it in just a few minutes, easier than a nodejs Second option looks better, but I'm concerned that the effort involved may not be justified by the benefits

I'll reiterate my original question though: Currently in github in releases there is a v0.16.0, it doesn't look like a nightly or beta But the latest available release in terraform registry is v0.15.0

It seems like the latest release just didn't make it to the registry for some reason, even though it happened a few months ago

indeed, the release job failed @ddelnano the release action failed due to expired primary (GPG?) key - could you take a look when you have a minute, please?

ddelnano commented 4 months ago

Sorry for the delay! v0.16.1 is available now. The new GPG key will be good for 2 years.

I think nightly builds would be nice to have. Another alternative would be to release more frequently. This repo's commit frequency is low enough that making a weekly or bi weekly release would probably do.
