Instructions are not correct for Terraform 0.13 #3

Open tcrowleyold opened 4 years ago

tcrowleyold commented 4 years ago

Hello, the instructions on this page (https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/terraform?topic=terraform-getting-started) will not work for the latest version of terraform. Instead, the entire zip file must be placed in a specific directory - not the unzipped version.

My personal installation is working, but I would suggest you revise the document to reflect the new process. Alternatively, it would be far simpler for users if you simply published the provider to the Terraform registry. Just a thought.

This is probably a dupe of ibm-cloud-docs/terraform#66 but I would still suggest the engineering team consider publishing the plugin to the Terraform registry.

The providers.tf file for Terraform 0.13 should look like this:

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.13"
  required_providers {
    ibm = {
      source  = "ibm-cloud/ibm"
      version = "1.12.0"
    }
  }
}

Additionally the docs should instruct the customer to move the current IBM Provider binary out of ~/.terraform.d/plugins/ so that when they run terraform init the latest version is downloaded directly from the Terraform registry within the working directory.

Hi,

Yes, this ticket is the duplicate of ibm-cloud-docs/terraform#66, The dev/solutioning team are working on this. However, in the document, we have added as a FAQ .
