terraform_deployment


A deployment of Terraform

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.terraform


tags

type: Iterable[str] | None

default: None

Arbitrary strings to describe a target.

For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run pants --tag='integration_test' test :: to only run on targets with that tag.

description

type: str | None

default: None

A human-readable description of the target.

Use pants list --documented :: to see all targets with descriptions.

dependencies

type: Iterable[str] | None

default: None

Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib', 'helloworld/main.py:lib', '3rdparty:reqs#django'].

This augments any dependencies inferred by Pants, such as by analyzing your imports. Use pants dependencies or pants peek on this target to get the final result.

See https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.18/docs/targets for more about how addresses are formed, including for generated targets. You can also run pants list :: to find all addresses in your project, or pants list dir to find all addresses defined in that directory.

If the target is in the same BUILD file, you can leave off the BUILD file path, e.g. :tgt instead of helloworld/subdir:tgt. For generated first-party addresses, use ./ for the file path, e.g. ./main.py:tgt; for all other generated targets, use :tgt#generated_name.

You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with !, e.g. ['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.

root_module

type: str

required

The Terraform module to use as the root module.

Example: root_module=":my_module"

backend_config

type: str | None

default: None

Configuration to be merged with what is in the configuration file's 'backend' block

var_files

type: Iterable[str] | None

default: None

A list of files and globs that belong to this target.

Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with !.

Example: var_files=['common.tfvars', 'prod.tfvars']
