I am trying to use this provider. Here are details:

Initializing provider plugins...

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.

[root@centos7 terraform]# ./terraform plan

Please help to understand what is wrong

@leva0887 does this help?

[leva0887]

I tried new instruction and still no result. The same error is persist.

[leva0887]

Also I have debug log. Maybe it can help to understand what is wrong

Also double checked the version of terraform

[root@centos7 terraform]# ./terraform version
Terraform v0.10.0

Your version of Terraform is out of date! The latest version
is 0.11.0. You can update by downloading from www.terraform.io

[mborodin]

Hi, Terraform version 0.10.7 is used to compile plugin. Does update of terraform to 0.10.7 solves your problem?

[ringods]

@leva0887 I made a local build of commit 614328e444ad7d8da3856448b0a19fe80f378539. As @mborodin mentioned, the dependency on the Terraform sources to compile against is 0.10.7.

On my Mac, I am using the binary terraform-provider-xenserver against a normal install of 0.10.8. It is configured in ~/.terraformrc like this:

providers {
  xenserver = "/Users/ringods/Projects/golang/bin/terraform-provider-xenserver"
}

I just ran the examples/datasource_pifs against my local xenserver and it worked fine. It fetched the UUIDs from the 4 ethernet cards and dropped them in the JSON file.

Can you test again against Terraform 0.10.7 or 0.10.8? Version 0.11.0 and up is untested at this moment.
