Rules of finding provider's binary

When terraform init command is executed, provider's binary is installed under the auto installed directory ( .terraform/providers/<SOURCE ADDRESS>/<VERSION>/<OS>_<ARCH> ) by default. The tfschema can use the same provider's binary as terraform uses, so you can run tfschema command in the same directory where you run the terraform command Alternatively, you can set the environment variable $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR to be this directory. If $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR is not set, it will default to the current directory

The tfschema finds provider's binary under the following directories.

  1. $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR
  2. same directory as tfschema executable
  3. user vendor directory ( $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR/terraform.d/plugins/<OS>_<ARCH> )
  4. auto installed directory for Terraform v0.14+ ( $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR/.terraform/providers/<SOURCE ADDRESS>/<VERSION>/<OS>_<ARCH> )
  5. auto installed directory for Terraform v0.13 ( $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR/.terraform/plugins/<SOURCE ADDRESS>/<VERSION>/<OS>_<ARCH> )
  6. legacy auto installed directory for Terraform < v0.13 ( $TFSCHEMA_ROOT_DIR/.terraform/plugins/<OS>_<ARCH> )
  7. global plugin directory ( $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins )
  8. global plugin directory with os and arch ( $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/<OS>_<ARCH> )
  9. gopath ( $GOPATH/bin )

If you are Mac OSX user, <OS>_<ARCH> is darwin_amd64. The <SOURCE ADDRESS> is a fully qualified provider name in Terraform 0.13+. (e.g. registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws)

Note that it doesn't have exactly the same behavior of Terraform because of some reasons:

Autocomplete

To enable autocomplete, execute the following command:

$ tfschema -install-autocomplete

The above command adds the following line to your ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc:

.bashrc

complete -C </path/to/tfschema> tfschema

.zshrc

autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
complete -o nospace -C </path/to/tfschema> tfschema

Check your .bashrc and/or .zshrc and reload it.
