commercetools Terraform Provider

The Terraform commercetools provider allows you to configure your commercetools project with infrastructure-as-code principles.

Commercial support

Need support implementing this terraform provider in your organization? Or are you missing features that need to be added, then we are able to offer support. Please contact us at [email protected]

Quick start

Read our documentation and check out the examples.

Usage

The provider is distributed via the Terraform registry. To use it you need to configure the required_provider block. For example:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    commercetools = {
      source = "labd/commercetools"

      # It's recommended to pin the version, e.g.:
      # version = "~> 1.4.0"
    }
  }
}

Binaries

Packages of the releases are available at https://github.com/labd/terraform-provider-commercetools/releases See the terraform documentation for more information about installing third-party providers.

Contributing

Requirements

• Go >= 1.20
• Task
• Changie

Building the provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/labd/terraform-provider-commercetools

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/labd; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/labd
$ git clone [email protected]:labd/terraform-provider-commercetools

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/labd/terraform-provider-commercetools
$ task build-local

A build is created terraform-provider-commercetools_99.0.0 in the root directory and added to plugin folder available locally:

~/.terraform.d/plugins/local/labd/commercetools/99.0.0/${OS_ARCH}/terraform-provider-commercetools_v99.0.0

Use version 99.0.0 in the provider to test your changes locally

terraform {
  required_providers {
    commercetools = {
      source  = "labd/commercetools"
      version = "99.0.0"
    }
  }
}

Adding new resources

When commercetools releases new features which include new resources these need to be implemented in terraform as new resources too. This provider is currently undergoing a migration path to move from terraform-plugin-sdk to the new terraform-plugin-framework. All new resources therefore need to be written using the terraform-plugin-framework module. See the subscription component as example.

Debugging / Troubleshooting

There are two environment settings for troubleshooting:

• TF_LOG=INFO enables debug output for Terraform.
• CTP_DEBUG=1 enables debug output for the Commercetools GO SDK this provider uses.

Note this generates a lot of output!

Releasing

When creating a PR with changes, please include a changie file in the changelogs/unreleased folder. This file can be interactively generated by running changie new in the root of the project. Pick a suitable category for the change. We recommend Fixed or Added for most cases. See the changie configuration for the full list of categories.

Once a new version is released all the unreleased changelog files will be merged and added to the general CHANGELOG.md file.

Testing

Running the unit tests

$ task test

Running the unit tests with coverage

$ task coverage

Running an Acceptance Test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run task testacc.

NOTE: Acceptance tests create real resources.

Prior to running the tests provider configuration details such as access keys must be made available as environment variables.

Since we need to be able to create commercetools resources, we need the commercetools API credentials. So in order for the acceptance tests to run correctly please provide all the following:

export CTP_CLIENT_ID=...
export CTP_CLIENT_SECRET=...
export CTP_PROJECT_KEY=...
export CTP_SCOPES=...

For convenience, place a testenv.sh in your local folder (which is included in .gitignore) where you can store these environment variables.

Tests can then be started by running

$ source local/testenv.sh
$ task testacc
