Local Development

Set up a Go workspace

You don't need to do this if you're not modifying megaportgo, but if you need to modify it you can use a Go workspace to make this process easier. Take a look at this tutorial first to get familiar with how Go workspaces work, then create a workspace for local development. This will let you edit the megaportgo library while working on the Terraform Provider without needing to publish changes to Git or modify your go.mod file in the Terraform Provider with a replace statement.

go 1.22.0
use (
    ./megaportgo
    ./terraform-provider-megaport
)

Allow the provider to be run locally

First, find the GOBIN path where Go installs your binaries. Your path may vary depending on how your Go environment variables are configured.

$ go env GOBIN
/Users/<Username>/go/bin

If the GOBIN Go environment variable is not set, use the default path, /Users/<Username>/go/bin

Create a new file called .terraformrc in your home directory (~), then add the dev_overrides block below. Change the <PATH> to the value returned from the go env GOBIN command above.

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
      "registry.terraform.io/megaport/megaport" = "<PATH>"
  }
  # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider
  # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use
  # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available.
  direct {}
}

Once you’ve done that you can test out changes to the provider by installing it with

go install .

inside of the terraform-provider-megaport folder
