before_hook not running before

[MattKitmanLabs]

Describe the bug If I run aws-vault exec sandbox-poweruser -- chamber exec datadog -- terragrunt plan but my state files are all kept in production, terragrunt prompts me to create a new bucket in sandbox, then if I hit yes it creates a random bucket in sandbox and then runs the before_hook script to check that I'm attempting to run against production and tells me I'm in the wrong account. whoops too late you went and made a random bucket in sandbox.

What's going on here? It seems impossible to get the before hook to actually run before.

aws-vault exec sandbox-poweruser -- chamber exec datadog -- terragrunt plan
Remote state S3 bucket test-state does not exist or you don't have permissions to access it. Would you like Terragrunt to create it? (y/n) y

Hi, before_hook hook is executed before the execution of terragrunt command not terragrunt itself. To run custom commands/scripts can be attempted to use run_cmd function.

@denis256,

First let me thank you for the rapid response and useful info, but I also found this disable_init = true seems to stop terragrunt creating any buckets.

Scrap that, with disable_init = true terragrunt seems to have a hard time creating new modules.
