Error asking for state migration action: input is disabled

[antigenius0910]

Hi thanks last time testing with me on the sandbox! it was great!

I am moving it to my codebase now but I hit another bug, can you take a look for me when you have time? thank you!

% cat tfmigrate_test.hcl 
migration "state" "test" {
  actions = [
    "mv github_repository.tfer--infra-002D-staging-002D-terraform github_repository.infra-staging-terraform",
  ]
}

Terraform has been successfully initialized!

You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.

If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.

Hi, @antigenius0910. Thank you for reporting the issue.

Error: Error asking for state migration action: input is disabled

The error message seems to come from the workspace related code in Terraform core. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v1.0.6/internal/command/meta_backend_migrate.go#L164 https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v1.0.6/internal/command/meta_backend_migrate.go#L225

Does your configuration use the workspace feature? https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/workspaces/index.html

[antigenius0910]

Hi @minamijoyo,

Thanks for the prompt response!

I think I am not using workspace feature. one more info here. this codebase's tf files were all pull from terraformer https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer

% terraform workspace list

[minamijoyo]

OK, you don't look like using the workspace. I'm curious that terraform.tfstate exists in the current directory. I guess you're probably using a local backend. Which backend do you use? The default is local and the reason I'm asking this is because tfmigrate doesn't work with the local backend.

https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/settings/backends/configuration.html

[antigenius0910]

aww yes, local is exactly what I use for now. cool, I will test it on S3 later and come back report if it works on S3 backend! thank you so much for a prompt troubleshoot!

I'm going to close this because there has been no activity on this recently. Please feel free to reopen this if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks!

Hello! Still have the issue here, no local storage state migration available since then?

[minamijoyo]

I have no plan to support a local backend. If your state is not shared with someone, wouldn't it be enough to run the terraform state command directly?
