GitHub Action
HashiCorp - Setup Terraform
The hashicorp/setup-terraform
action is a JavaScript action that sets up Terraform CLI in your GitHub Actions workflow by:
- Downloading a specific version of Terraform CLI and adding it to the
PATH
. - Configuring the Terraform CLI configuration file with a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise hostname and API token.
- Installing a wrapper script to wrap subsequent calls of the
terraform
binary and expose its STDOUT, STDERR, and exit code as outputs namedstdout
,stderr
, andexitcode
respectively. (This can be optionally skipped if subsequent steps in the same job do not need to access the results of Terraform commands.)
After you've used the action, subsequent steps in the same job can run arbitrary Terraform commands using the GitHub Actions run
syntax. This allows most Terraform commands to work exactly like they do on your local command line.
This action can be run on ubuntu-latest
, windows-latest
, and macos-latest
GitHub Actions runners. When running on windows-latest
the shell should be set to Bash.
The default configuration installs the latest version of Terraform CLI and installs the wrapper script to wrap subsequent calls to the terraform
binary.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
A specific version of Terraform CLI can be installed.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
with:
terraform_version: 0.12.25
Credentials for Terraform Cloud (app.terraform.io) can be configured.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
with:
cli_config_credentials_token: ${{ secrets.TF_API_TOKEN }}
Credentials for Terraform Enterprise can be configured.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
with:
cli_config_credentials_hostname: 'terraform.example.com'
cli_config_credentials_token: ${{ secrets.TF_API_TOKEN }}
The wrapper script installation can be skipped.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
with:
terraform_wrapper: false
Subsequent steps can access outputs when the wrapper script is installed.
steps:
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
- run: terraform init
- id: plan
run: terraform plan -no-color
- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.stdout }}
- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.stderr }}
- run: echo ${{ steps.plan.outputs.exitcode }}
Outputs can be used in subsequent steps to comment on the pull request:

The action supports the following inputs:
-
cli_config_credentials_hostname
- (optional) The hostname of a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise instance to place within the credentials block of the Terraform CLI configuration file. Defaults toapp.terraform.io
. -
cli_config_credentials_token
- (optional) The API token for a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise instance to place within the credentials block of the Terraform CLI configuration file. -
terraform_version
- (optional) The version of Terraform CLI to install. Instead of a full version string, you can also specify a constraint string (see Semver Ranges for available range specifications). Examples are:<1.13.0
,~1.12
,1.12.x
(all three installing the latest available 1.12 version). The special value oflatest
installs the latest version of Terraform CLI. Defaults tolatest
. -
terraform_wrapper
- (optional) Whether to install a wrapper to wrap subsequent calls of theterraform
binary and expose its STDOUT, STDERR, and exit code as outputs namedstdout
,stderr
, andexitcode
respectively. Defaults totrue
.
This action does not configure any outputs directly. However, when you set the terraform_wrapper
input
to true
, the following outputs is available for subsequent steps that call the terraform
binary.
-
stdout
- The STDOUT stream of the call to theterraform
binary. -
stderr
- The STDERR stream of the call to theterraform
binary. -
exitcode
- The exit code of the call to theterraform
binary.
