Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.

Using the provider

This Terraform Provider is available to install automatically via terraform init. If you're building the provider, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. After placing it into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

Additional documentation, including available resources and their arguments/attributes can be found on the Terraform documentation website.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

To compile the provider, run go install. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc. Make sure the respective environment variables are set (e.g., NXOS_USERNAME, NXOS_PASSWORD, NXOS_URL).

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources.
