terraform-zap
Script wrapper to perform finer terraform destroy. This means that terraform
must still be installed and residing within PATH environment variable.
Currently if any of the .tf files contain prevent_destroy = true for any of
the resources, terraform destroy will fail and there is no flag to force
terraform to skip all resources. This script wrapper helps to alleviate the
issue by parsing .tfignore file in the current working directory, where the
.tf files are residing in.
.tfignore formattoml
exact = [
"important_database.xxx",
"important_role.xxx",
]
If there are resources that exactly match the names above, these resources are
automatically skipped, solving the problem of having to type complicated
commands in order to skip the above resources to possibly resolve the
prevent_destroy = true issue, with just a single command.
Use https://www.rustup.rs/ and get the commands cargo and
rustc.
Run cargo install terraform-zap for the installation. This will automatically
fetch terraform-zap CLI application from crates.io
and install into your Cargo installation binary directory.
With .tfignore file in place, simply run terraform-zap. You should see
mainly terraform destroy logs in place, but the ignored resources should now
no longer appear during the confirmation.
If previously there were resources
with prevent_destroy = true set, if these resources are correctly ignored,
the confirmation prompt should appear properly.
For more CLI argument details, type terraform-zap -h.
Run cargo build --all --release. This builds all the associated libraries
and the executable. The executable will be built in
target/release/terraform-zap.
