Difference between variables passed in terraform.Options for Terratest and terraform.tfvars?

问题

我理解你的问题是关于使用terraform.Options的目的以及如何在其中映射嵌套变量值的问题。

terraform.Options是用于在Terratest中配置Terraform的选项。它允许你指定Terraform代码的路径以及变量的值。尽管你可以从tfvars文件中获取变量的值,但使用terraform.Options可以更灵活地控制和定制测试环境。

对于嵌套变量,你可以使用类似于tfvars文件中的嵌套结构来映射它们。在你的示例中,resource_group是一个嵌套的变量,它包含两个子变量resource_group1resource_group2。你可以在terraform.OptionsVars字段中使用相同的嵌套结构来映射这些变量。例如:

terraformOptions := &terraform.Options{
    TerraformDir: "../../examples/azure/terraform-azure-resourcegroup-example",
    Vars: map[string]interface{}{
        "resource_group": map[string]interface{}{
            "resource_group1": map[string]interface{}{
                "rg_name":  "Terratest1",
                "location": "us",
                "tags": map[string]interface{}{
                    "foo": "foo",
                    "bar": "bar",
                },
            },
            "resource_group2": map[string]interface{}{
                "rg_name":  "Terratest2",
                "location": "us",
                "tags": map[string]interface{}{
                    "foo": "foo",
                    "bar": "bar",
                },
            },
        },
        "postfix": uniquePostfix,
    },
}

通过这种方式,你可以在terraform.Options中正确地映射嵌套变量的值,并将其传递给Terratest进行测试。

希望这可以帮助到你!如果你有任何其他问题,请随时问我。

I get terraform.Options is for testing purposes but what is the purpose of it when my Terratest can get the variable values from the tfvars file? How can I utilize it to it's max ability?

Also, most of my variables in tfvars are nested. How would I map that out in terraform.Options?

#variable in tfvars
resource_group = {
  resource_group1 = { 
    rg_name = "Terratest1"
    #resource group location
    location = "us"
    #tags
    tags = {
      foo = "foo"
      bar = "bar"
    }
  }
  resource_group2= {
    rg_name  = "Terratest2"
    location = "us"
    tags = {
      foo = "foo"
      bar = "bar"
    }
  }
}
#how would I map in terraform.Options?
	terraformOptions := &terraform.Options{
		// The path to where our Terraform code is located
		TerraformDir: "../../examples/azure/terraform-azure-resourcegroup-example",
		Vars: map[string]interface{}{
			"postfix": uniquePostfix,
		},
	}

terraform.Options是用于测试目的的,但当我的Terratest可以从tfvars文件中获取变量值时,它的目的是什么?

测试的一个重要方面是变化输入,并根据这些输入验证行为和输出。您可以使用terraform.Options为模块提供各种输入,然后确定模块的行为和输出是否符合预期。如果这是一个根模块配置,那么该值的重要性就大大降低了。如果这是一个可重用且经常声明的模块,那么它就有很大的价值。

我该如何在terraform.Options中映射这个?

最简单的方法是使用嵌套类型构造函数:

terraformOptions := &terraform.Options{
    // terraform模块的路径
    TerraformDir: "../../examples/azure/terraform-azure-resourcegroup-example",
    // 模块的输入变量映射
    Vars: map[string]interface{}{
        "resource_group1": map[string]interface{}{
            "rg_name":  "Terratest1",
            "location": "us",
            "tags": map[string]string{
                "foo": "foo",
                "bar": "bar",
            },
        },
        "resource_group2": map[string]interface{}{
            "rg_name":  "Terratest2",
            "location": "us",
            "tags": map[string]string{
                "foo": "foo",
                "bar": "bar",
            },
        },
    },
}

One of the important aspects of testing is to vary the inputs, and validate the behavior and outputs based on those inputs. You can use terraform.Options to provide a variety of inputs to a module, and then determine that the behavior and outputs of the module are as expected. If this is a root module config, then that value is significantly diminished. If this is a reusable and often declared module, then there is substantial value.

> How would I map that out in terraform.Options?

With nested type constructors most easily:

terraformOptions := &terraform.Options{
	// path to terraform module
	TerraformDir: "../../examples/azure/terraform-azure-resourcegroup-example",
	// map of input variables to module
	Vars: map[string]interface{}{
		"resource_group1":  map[string]interface{}{
			"rg_name":  "Terratest1",
			"location": "us",
			"tags ":    map[string]string{
                "foo": "foo",
			    "bar": "bar",
            },
		},
        "resource_group2":  map[string]interface{}{
			"rg_name":  "Terratest2",
			"location": "us",
			"tags ":    map[string]string{
                "foo": "foo",
			    "bar": "bar",
            },
		},
	},
}
