bin VS terraform-switcher

Downside: it's all shell scripts. Upside: it's all shell scripts.

Seriously through, it's pretty easy to create an asdf plugin, and it works great. But it would be great if there were a static executable to handle it all.

A couple projects out there come close, but need people to contribute code to finish the most useful functionality. One example is https://github.com/marcosnils/bin - the developer is fully in favor of improvements and added features, but needs someone with the free time to add them.

Looks good. The problem is, there's also https://github.com/marcosnils/bin - now i don't know which one to use :/

‍TFSwitch is a CLI tool that allows easy switching between different Terraform versions, simplifying workflows in environments where multiple Terraform versions are used.

tfswitch might help with particular issue of terraform versioning:

Even then some versions of terraform providers are not compatible with M1 macs. Docker would help with that probably, but so can: https://github.com/kreuzwerker/m1-terraform-provider-helper

Perhaps these sort of issues support the benefits of per-module docker images?

My approach is to change the version in the version.tf file, install the new version using tfswitch (https://tfswitch.warrensbox.com/) and execute a plan. If infrastructure matches the configuration I will asume there are no breaking changes...

Also, an excellent tool can help with fast switching between different Terraform versions while you’re experimenting — tfswitch.

It was easy. I didn't use terraform-version files like you, but there are similar ways to automatically switch versions. https://github.com/warrensbox/terraform-switcher
