terratest VS pre-commit-terraform

Terratest is a Go library that provides tools and patterns for testing infrastructure, with first-class support for Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, and more. It's used to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.

I think I found it. This is the one right? https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/

What it does in parallel is basically init/plan/show using terratest on every subdirectory on your repository tree or provided paths. The output is either a JSON summary or a custom made Junit XML test file you can ingest into your tests reader. It took it around 8 minutes to map the entirety of our bloated repository.

You could deploy to a separate account (usually dev first), you can use terratest, you could try something like LocalStack. I dare say there’s other methods.

Was wondering if anyone has tried https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest to test their infrastructure. I like it because I can write golang tests! Thats a big plus for me.

Once there is a CI pipeline for delivering infra changes you can add static code analysis tools (checkov) and even start testing changes (terratest)

Another plus is to add tests into your workflow, just by adding a run step with terratest

Personally I use pre-commit with some of these hooks in addition to some default hooks. It's basically a localised CI pipeline, and also means every commit has passed checks so keeps your commit history neat. Way faster to develop infrastructure code and fix issues than having to keep pushing to the remote repo and waiting for an Action to run.

Local testing with pre-commit-terraform. Formats code with terraform fmt Validates code with terraform validate Automatic README updates with terraform-docs. Static code analysis with TFLint, tfsec and checkov.

pre-commit-terraform – Pre-commit git hooks for automation

Let me share a shameless plug (as an author of the pre-commit-terraform). I will show these hooks in action and answer questions during my live stream on Friday 29th of October - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziJK79tI6tY

We the following of this set of hooks for our Terraform modules:

Take a look on pre-commit scripts for terraform: https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform. Of course, you can run it before git operations, for example:
