This is Awesome! - Githubissues

I know it has been a while since this has had a release, but please release v70 ! This is an amazing product which has helped me immensely.

Here is a new use case for you:

I write terraform modules and need to test them rapidly using terratest.
I use local file states because not deleting the state as a part of the test is considered a bug.
My automated tests run automatically and I can't sit around and wait to see if they panic, since they clean themselves up automatically to prepare for the next CI run the state will most likely be long gone before I get a chance to see it.
leftovers helps me keep track of objects which were created but not cleaned up due to terraform having a panic before destroy was possible.

Here is an example of using leftovers in a GitHub workflow to detect leftover AWS objects and generate an issue with the list found: https://github.com/rancher/terraform-aws-access/blob/main/.github/workflows/cleanup.yaml

I pass a unique identifier to my terraform tests which relates to the workflow id and use that to find objects in this workflow.

Hi @matttrach ! Thank you for the really nice comments. I'm waiting on this MR (https://github.com/genevieve/leftovers/pull/141) and then I will release v70 :-)
