Terragrunt GitHub Actions

Terragrunt GitHub Actions allow you to execute Terragrunt commands within GitHub Actions.

The output of the actions can be viewed from the Actions tab in the main repository view. If the actions are executed on a pull request event, a comment may be posted on the pull request.

Terragrunt GitHub Actions are a single GitHub Action that executes different Terragrunt subcommands depending on the content of the GitHub Actions YAML file.

Success Criteria

An exit code of 0 is considered a successful execution.

Usage

The most common workflow is to run terragrunt fmt, terragrunt init, terragrunt validate, terragrunt plan, and terragrunt taint on all of the Terragrunt files in the root of the repository when a pull request is opened or updated. A comment will be posted to the pull request depending on the output of the Terragrunt subcommand being executed. This workflow can be configured by adding the following content to the GitHub Actions workflow YAML file. Note that this action will use terragrunt binary to run all commands. In case of passing a terraform subcommand terragrunt will forward it to terraform.

  - pull_request

  tf_version: 'latest'
  tg_version: 'latest'

This was a simplified example showing the basic features of these Terragrunt GitHub Actions. Please refer to the examples within the examples directory for other common workflows.

Inputs

Inputs configure Terraform GitHub Actions to perform different actions.

Input Name Description Required
tf_actions_subcommand The Terraform/Terragrunt subcommand to execute. Yes
tf_actions_binary The binary to run the commands with No
tf_actions_version The Terraform version to install and execute. If set to latest, the latest stable version will be used. Yes
tg_actions_version The Terragrunt version to install and execute. If set to latest, the latest stable version will be used. Yes
tf_actions_cli_credentials_hostname Hostname for the CLI credentials file. Defaults to app.terraform.io. No
tf_actions_cli_credentials_token Token for the CLI credentials file. No
tf_actions_comment Whether or not to comment on GitHub pull requests. Defaults to true. No
tf_actions_working_dir The working directory to change into before executing Terragrunt subcommands. Defaults to the root of the GitHub repository. No
tf_actions_fmt_write Whether or not to write fmt changes to source files. Defaults to false. No

Outputs

Outputs are used to pass information to subsequent GitHub Actions steps.

Output Name Description
tf_actions_output The Terragrunt outputs in (stringified) JSON format.
tf_actions_plan_has_changes 'true' if the Terragrunt plan contained changes, otherwise 'false'.
tf_actions_plan_output The Terragrunt plan output.
tf_actions_fmt_written Whether or not the Terragrunt formatting from fmt was written to source files.

Secrets

Secrets are similar to inputs except that they are encrypted and only used by GitHub Actions. It's a convenient way to keep sensitive data out of the GitHub Actions workflow YAML file.

  • GITHUB_TOKEN - (Optional) The GitHub API token used to post comments to pull requests. Not required if the tf_actions_comment input is set to false.

Other secrets may be needed to authenticate with Terraform backends and providers.

WARNING: These secrets could be exposed if the action is executed on a malicious Terraform file. To avoid this, it is recommended not to use these Terraform GitHub Actions on repositories where untrusted users can submit pull requests.

Environment Variables

Environment variables are exported in the environment where the Terraform GitHub Actions are executed. This allows a user to modify the behavior of certain GitHub Actions.

The usual Terraform environment variables are supported. Here are a few of the more commonly used environment variables.

Other environment variables may be configured to pass data into Terraform. If the data is sensitive, consider using secrets instead.
