Document Terraform (CLI) as a dependency

I’ve also filed this as a bug for the terraform-ls repo: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-ls/issues/398

---

OS: Darwin x64 20.2.0 (macOS Big Sur Version 11.1) VS Code: 1.53.0 VS Code Terraform Extension: v2.5.0

---

The VS Code Terraform extension always gives me the following message whenever I open any .tf file.

Then although I have already run terraform init, when I click the terraform init button I get the following message.

---

I was able to replicate this error when opening VS Code into a folder with a single minimal main.tf file.

main.tf

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.12.26"

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
}

terraform version output

$ terraform version
Terraform v0.12.30
+ provider.aws v3.27.0

terraform init output

$ terraform init

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.

terraform-ls logs output for the terraform VSCode extension. For this output:

1. I opened VSCode to my test folder
2. I opened main.tf which gave me the message in the first screenshot
3. I clicked the terraform init button in the popup message

Terraform Install

$ which terraform
/Users/aburck/.local/bin/terraform

$ echo $PATH
/Users/aburck/.local/bin:...

I simply downloaded and extracted the terraform executable to ~/.local/bin. Then I added ~/.local/bin to my PATH via my ~/.zshrc using export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Can this error message be disabled completely? It didn’t existed in a previous version (no idea which since it got auto updated)

I move between directories and TF versions and every time I open a file I get the annoying message

No schema found for...

I only want the syntax highlight and formatting help. How can I disable the rest?

I would be curious to know how you manage these different installations of Terraform locally. Would you just wget the archive and unzip the binary somewhere to $PATH? How do you know which version of Terraform to use when working with a particular project?

I imagine this is a common problem for someone who manages multiple projects and so understanding your workflow would help us support it better.

Sorry for the delayed response. We do something very similar to what @bevans-HD mentions. We commit a config file to our repos that specifies the terraform version to be used (among other CI / CD) settings. Then we’ve developed in-house wrapper around the terraform CLI that handles switching the terraform version used based on the config file (looks for the config file recursively in parent directories).

But for a more universal option, my suggestion for the vscode terraform extension would be to support the standard vscode extension workspace configuration settings that can be committed to our repos. Something along the lines of:

.vscode/settings.json

"terraform.version": "0.14.7"

Though it looks like we can override the terraform executable path, it’d be nice if the extension would handle downloading and switching it for us.

Furthermore, if this extension supported Multi-root Workspaces then we’d be able to setup each terraform configuration root in our repos with separate vscode settings and thus potentially separate terraform versions.
