Pull docker image with all hooks:

TAG=latest
docker pull tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu:$TAG

All available tags here.

Build from scratch:

Note: To build image you need to have docker buildx enabled as default builder.
Otherwise - provide TARGETOS and TARGETARCH as additional --build-arg's to docker build.

When hooks-related --build-args are not specified, only the latest version of pre-commit and opentofu will be installed.

git clone git@github.com:tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu.git
cd pre-commit-opentofu
# Install the latest versions of all the tools
docker build -t pre-commit-opentofu --build-arg INSTALL_ALL=true .

To install a specific version of individual tools, define it using --build-arg arguments or set it to latest:

docker build -t pre-commit-opentofu \
    --build-arg PRE_COMMIT_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg TOFU_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg CHECKOV_VERSION=2.0.405 \
    --build-arg INFRACOST_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg TERRAFORM_DOCS_VERSION=0.15.0 \
    --build-arg TERRAGRUNT_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg TERRASCAN_VERSION=1.10.0 \
    --build-arg TFLINT_VERSION=0.31.0 \
    --build-arg TFSEC_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg TRIVY_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg TFUPDATE_VERSION=latest \
    --build-arg HCLEDIT_VERSION=latest \
    .

Set -e PRE_COMMIT_COLOR=never to disable the color output in pre-commit.

We highly recommend using WSL/WSL2 with Ubuntu and following the Ubuntu installation guide. Or use Docker.

Note: We won't be able to help with issues that can't be reproduced in Linux/Mac. So, try to find a working solution and send PR before open an issue.

Otherwise, you can follow this gist:

1. Install git and gitbash
2. Install Python 3
3. Install all prerequisites needed (see above)

Ensure your PATH environment variable looks for bash.exe in C:\Program Files\Git\bin (the one present in C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe does not work with pre-commit.exe)

For checkov, you may need to also set your PYTHONPATH environment variable with the path to your Python modules.
E.g. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages

2. Install the pre-commit hook globally

Note: not needed if you use the Docker image

DIR=~/.git-template
git config --global init.templateDir ${DIR}
pre-commit init-templatedir -t pre-commit ${DIR}

3. Add configs and hooks

Step into the repository you want to have the pre-commit hooks installed and run:

git init
cat <<EOF > .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
- repo: https://github.com/tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu
  rev: <VERSION> # Get the latest from: https://github.com/tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu/releases
  hooks:
    - id: tofu_fmt
    - id: tofu_docs
EOF

4. Run

Execute this command to run pre-commit on all files in the repository (not only changed files):

pre-commit run -a

Or, using Docker (available tags):

Note: This command uses your user id and group id for the docker container to use to access the local files. If the files are owned by another user, update the USERID environment variable. See File Permissions section for more information.

TAG=latest
docker run -e "USERID=$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v $(pwd):/lint -w /lint tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu:$TAG run -a

Execute this command to list the versions of the tools in Docker:

TAG=latest
docker run --rm --entrypoint cat tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu:$TAG /usr/bin/tools_versions_info

Available Hooks

There are several pre-commit hooks to keep OpenTofu configurations (both *.tf and *.tfvars) and Terragrunt configurations (*.hcl) in a good shape:

Check the source file to know arguments used for each hook.

Hooks usage notes and examples

Known limitations

OpenTofu operates on a per-dir basis, while pre-commit framework only supports files and files that exist. This means if you only remove the TF-related file without any other changes in the same dir, checks will be skipped. Example and details here.

All hooks: Usage of environment variables in --args

All, except deprecated hooks: checkov, tofu_docs_replace

You can use environment variables for the --args section.

Warning: You must use the ${ENV_VAR} definition, $ENV_VAR will not expand.

Config example:

- id: tofu_tflint
  args:
  - --args=--config=${CONFIG_NAME}.${CONFIG_EXT}
  - --args=--module

If for config above set up export CONFIG_NAME=.tflint; export CONFIG_EXT=hcl before pre-commit run, args will be expanded to --config=.tflint.hcl --module.

All hooks: Set env vars inside hook at runtime

All, except deprecated hooks: checkov, tofu_docs_replace

You can specify environment variables that will be passed to the hook at runtime.

Config example:

- id: tofu_validate
  args:
    - --env-vars=AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-west-2"
    - --env-vars=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="anaccesskey"
    - --env-vars=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="asecretkey"

All hooks: Disable color output

All, except deprecated hooks: checkov, tofu_docs_replace

To disable color output for all hooks, set PRE_COMMIT_COLOR=never var. Eg:

PRE_COMMIT_COLOR=never pre-commit run

checkov (deprecated) and tofu_checkov

checkov hook is deprecated, please use tofu_checkov.

Note that tofu_checkov runs recursively during -d . usage. That means, for example, if you change .tf file in repo root, all existing .tf files in the repo will be checked.

1. You can specify custom arguments. E.g.:

   - id: tofu_checkov
     args:
       - --args=--quiet
       - --args=--skip-check CKV2_AWS_8
   

   Check all available arguments here.

For deprecated hook you need to specify each argument separately:

- id: checkov
  args: [
    "-d", ".",
    "--skip-check", "CKV2_AWS_8",
  ]

2. When you have multiple directories and want to run tofu_checkov in all of them and share a single config file - use the __GIT_WORKING_DIR__ placeholder. It will be replaced by tofu_checkov hooks with the Git working directory (repo root) at run time. For example:

   - id: tofu_checkov
     args:
       - --args=--config-file __GIT_WORKING_DIR__/.checkov.yml
   

infracost_breakdown

infracost_breakdown executes infracost breakdown command and compare the estimated costs with those specified in the hook-config. infracost breakdown parses OpenTofu HCL code, and calls Infracost Cloud Pricing API (remote version or self-hosted version).

Unlike most other hooks, this hook triggers once if there are any changed files in the repository.

1. infracost_breakdown supports all infracost breakdown arguments (run infracost breakdown --help to see them). The following example only shows costs:

   - id: infracost_breakdown
     args:
       - --args=--path=./env/dev
     verbose: true # Always show costs
   

   <!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-inline-html --> <details><summary>Output</summary>

   Running in "env/dev"
   
   Summary: {
   "unsupportedResourceCounts": {
       "aws_sns_topic_subscription": 1
     }
   }
   
   Total Monthly Cost:        86.83 USD
   Total Monthly Cost (diff): 86.83 USD
   

   <!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-inline-html --> </details>

2. Note that spaces are not allowed in --args, so you need to split it, like this:

   - id: infracost_breakdown
     args:
       - --args=--path=./env/dev
       - --args=--terraform-var-file="terraform.tfvars"
       - --args=--terraform-var-file="../terraform.tfvars"
   

3. (Optionally) Define cost constraints the hook should evaluate successfully in order to pass:

   - id: infracost_breakdown
     args:
       - --args=--path=./env/dev
       - --hook-config='.totalHourlyCost|tonumber > 0.1'
       - --hook-config='.totalHourlyCost|tonumber > 1'
       - --hook-config='.projects[].diff.totalMonthlyCost|tonumber != 10000'
       - --hook-config='.currency == "USD"'
   

   <!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-inline-html --> <details><summary>Output</summary>

   Running in "env/dev"
   Passed: .totalHourlyCost|tonumber > 0.1         0.11894520547945205 >  0.1
   Failed: .totalHourlyCost|tonumber > 1           0.11894520547945205 >  1
   Passed: .projects[].diff.totalMonthlyCost|tonumber !=10000              86.83 != 10000
   Passed: .currency == "USD"              "USD" == "USD"
   
   Summary: {
   "unsupportedResourceCounts": {
       "aws_sns_topic_subscription": 1
     }
   }
   
   Total Monthly Cost:        86.83 USD
   Total Monthly Cost (diff): 86.83 USD
   

   <!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-inline-html --> </details>
   • Only one path per one hook (- id: infracost_breakdown) is allowed.
   • Set verbose: true to see cost even when the checks are passed.
   • Hook uses jq to process the cost estimation report returned by infracost breakdown command
   • Expressions defined as --hook-config argument should be in a jq-compatible format (e.g. .totalHourlyCost, .totalMonthlyCost) To study json output produced by infracost, run the command infracost breakdown -p PATH_TO_TF_DIR --format json, and explore it on jqplay.org.
   • Supported comparison operators: <, <=, ==, !=, >=, >.
   • Most useful paths and checks:
     • .totalHourlyCost (same as .projects[].breakdown.totalHourlyCost) - show total hourly infra cost
     • .totalMonthlyCost (same as .projects[].breakdown.totalMonthlyCost) - show total monthly infra cost
     • .projects[].diff.totalHourlyCost - show the difference in hourly cost for the existing infra and tf plan
     • .projects[].diff.totalMonthlyCost - show the difference in monthly cost for the existing infra and tf plan
     • .diffTotalHourlyCost (for Infracost version 0.9.12 or newer) or [.projects[].diff.totalMonthlyCost | select (.!=null) | tonumber] | add (for Infracost older than 0.9.12)

4. Docker usage. In docker build or docker run command:

   • You need to provide Infracost API key via -e INFRACOST_API_KEY=<your token>. By default, it is saved in ~/.config/infracost/credentials.yml
   • Set -e INFRACOST_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=true to skip the Infracost update check if you use this hook as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

tofu_docs

1. tofu_docs and tofu_docs_without_aggregate_type_defaults will insert/update documentation generated by terraform-docs framed by markers:

   <!-- BEGINNING OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK -->
   
   <!-- END OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK -->
   

   if they are present in README.md.

2. It is possible to pass additional arguments to shell scripts when using tofu_docs and tofu_docs_without_aggregate_type_defaults.

3. It is possible to automatically:

   • create a documentation file

   • extend existing documentation file by appending markers to the end of the file (see item 1 above)

   • use different filename for the documentation (default is README.md)

   • use the same insertion markers as terraform-docs by default. It will be default in v2.0.
     To migrate to terraform-docs insertion markers, run in repo root:

     grep -rl 'BEGINNING OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK' . | xargs sed -i 's/BEGINNING OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK/BEGIN_TF_DOCS/g'
     grep -rl 'END OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK' . | xargs sed -i 's/END OF PRE-COMMIT-OPENTOFU DOCS HOOK/END_TF_DOCS/g'
     

   - id: tofu_docs
     args:
       - --hook-config=--path-to-file=README.md        # Valid UNIX path. I.e. ../TFDOC.md or docs/README.md etc.
       - --hook-config=--add-to-existing-file=true     # Boolean. true or false
       - --hook-config=--create-file-if-not-exist=true # Boolean. true or false
       - --hook-config=--use-standard-markers=true     # Boolean. Defaults in v1.x to false. Set to true for compatibility with terraform-docs
   

4. You can provide any configuration available in tofu-docs as an argument to tofu_doc hook, for example:

   - id: tofu_docs
     args:
       - --args=--config=.terraform-docs.yml
   

   Warning: Avoid use recursive.enabled: true in config file, that can cause unexpected behavior.

5. If you need some exotic settings, it can be done too. I.e. this one generates HCL files:

   - id: tofu_docs
     args:
       - tfvars hcl --output-file terraform.tfvars.model .
   

tofu_docs_replace (deprecated)

DEPRECATED. Will be merged in tofu_docs.

tofu_docs_replace replaces the entire README.md rather than doing string replacement between markers. Put your additional documentation at the top of your main.tf for it to be pulled in.

To replicate functionality in tofu_docs hook:

1. Create .terraform-docs.yml in the repo root with the following content:

   formatter: "markdown"
   
   output:
   file: "README.md"
   mode: replace
   template: |-
       {{/** End of file fixer */}}
   

2. Replace tofu_docs_replace hook config in .pre-commit-config.yaml with:

   - id: tofu_docs
   args:
       - --args=--config=.terraform-docs.yml
   

terraftofu_fmtorm_fmt

1. tofu_fmt supports custom arguments so you can pass supported flags. Eg:

    - id: tofu_fmt
      args:
        - --args=-no-color
        - --args=-diff
        - --args=-write=false
   

tofu_providers_lock

Note: The hook requires OpenTofu 1.6.0 or later.

Note: The hook can invoke tofu providers lock that can be really slow and requires fetching metadata from remote OpenTofu registries - not all of that metadata is currently being cached by OpenTofu.

<details><summary><b>Note</b>: Read this if you used this hook before v1.80.0 | Planned breaking changes in v2.0</summary> We introduced '--mode' flag for this hook. If you'd like to continue using this hook as before, please:

• Specify --hook-config=--mode=always-regenerate-lockfile in args:
• Before tofu_providers_lock, add tofu_validate hook with --hook-config=--retry-once-with-cleanup=true
• Move --tf-init-args= to tofu_validate hook

In the end, you should get config like this:

- id: tofu_validate
  args:
    - --hook-config=--retry-once-with-cleanup=true
    # - --tf-init-args=-upgrade

- id: tofu_providers_lock
  args:
  - --hook-config=--mode=always-regenerate-lockfile

Why? When v2.x will be introduced - the default mode will be changed, probably, to only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform.

You can check available modes for hook below.

</details>

1. The hook can work in a few different modes: only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform with and without tofu_validate hook and always-regenerate-lockfile - only with tofu_validate hook.

   • only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform without tofu_validate - only checks that lockfile has all required SHAs for all providers already added to lockfile.

     - id: tofu_providers_lock
       args:
       - --hook-config=--mode=only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform
     

   • only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform with tofu_validate hook - make up-to-date lockfile by adding/removing providers and only then check that lockfile has all required SHAs.

     Note: Next tofu_validate flag requires additional dependency to be installed: jq. Also, it could run another slow and time consuming command - tofu init

     - id: tofu_validate
       args:
         - --hook-config=--retry-once-with-cleanup=true
     
     - id: tofu_providers_lock
       args:
       - --hook-config=--mode=only-check-is-current-lockfile-cross-platform
     

   • always-regenerate-lockfile only with tofu_validate hook - regenerate lockfile from scratch. Can be useful for upgrading providers in lockfile to latest versions

     - id: tofu_validate
       args:
         - --hook-config=--retry-once-with-cleanup=true
         - --tf-init-args=-upgrade
     
     - id: tofu_providers_lock
       args:
       - --hook-config=--mode=always-regenerate-lockfile
     

2. tofu_providers_lock supports custom arguments:

    - id: tofu_providers_lock
      args:
         - --args=-platform=windows_amd64
         - --args=-platform=darwin_amd64
   

3. It may happen that OpenTofu working directory (.terraform) already exists but not in the best condition (eg, not initialized modules, wrong version of OpenTofu, etc.). To solve this problem, you can find and delete all .terraform directories in your repository:

   echo "
   function rm_tofu {
       find . \( -iname ".terraform*" ! -iname ".terraform-docs*" \) -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r
   }
   " >>~/.bashrc
   
   # Reload shell and use `rm_tofu` command in the repo root
   

   tofu_providers_lock hook will try to reinitialize directories before running the tofu providers lock command.

4. tofu_providers_lock support passing custom arguments to its tofu init:

   Warning - DEPRECATION NOTICE: This is available only in no-mode mode, which will be removed in v2.0. Please provide this keys to tofu_validate hook, which, to take effect, should be called before tofu_providers_lock

   - id: tofu_providers_lock
     args:
       - --tf-init-args=-upgrade
   

tofu_tflint

1. tofu_tflint supports custom arguments so you can enable module inspection, enable / disable rules, etc.

   Example:

   - id: tofu_tflint
     args:
       - --args=--module
       - --args=--enable-rule=terraform_documented_variables
   

2. When you have multiple directories and want to run tflint in all of them and share a single config file, it is impractical to hard-code the path to the .tflint.hcl file. The solution is to use the __GIT_WORKING_DIR__ placeholder which will be replaced by tofu_tflint hooks with the Git working directory (repo root) at run time. For example:

   - id: tofu_tflint
     args:
       - --args=--config=__GIT_WORKING_DIR__/.tflint.hcl
   

3. By default, pre-commit-opentofu performs directory switching into the OpenTofu modules for you. If you want to delgate the directory changing to the binary - this will allow tflint to determine the full paths for error/warning messages, rather than just module relative paths. Note: this requires tflint>=0.44.0. For example:

   - id: tofu_tflint
         args:
           - --hook-config=--delegate-chdir
   

tofu_tfsec (deprecated)

DEPRECATED. tfsec was replaced by trivy, so please use tofu_trivy.

1. tofu_tfsec will consume modified files that pre-commit passes to it, so you can perform whitelisting of directories or files to run against via files pre-commit flag

   Example:

   - id: tofu_tfsec
     files: ^prd-infra/
   

   The above will tell pre-commit to pass down files from the prd-infra/ folder only such that the underlying tfsec tool can run against changed files in this directory, ignoring any other folders at the root level

2. To ignore specific warnings, follow the convention from the documentation.

   Example:

   resource "aws_security_group_rule" "my-rule" {
       type = "ingress"
       cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] #tfsec:ignore:AWS006
   }
   

3. tofu_tfsec supports custom arguments, so you can pass supported --no-color or --format (output), -e (exclude checks) flags:

    - id: tofu_tfsec
      args:
        - >
          --args=--format json
          --no-color
          -e aws-s3-enable-bucket-logging,aws-s3-specify-public-access-block
   

4. When you have multiple directories and want to run tfsec in all of them and share a single config file - use the __GIT_WORKING_DIR__ placeholder. It will be replaced by tofu_tfsec hooks with Git working directory (repo root) at run time. For example:

   - id: tofu_tfsec
     args:
       - --args=--config-file=__GIT_WORKING_DIR__/.tfsec.json
   

   Otherwise, will be used files that located in sub-folders:

   - id: tofu_tfsec
     args:
       - --args=--config-file=.tfsec.json
   

tofu_trivy

1. tofu_trivy will consume modified files that pre-commit passes to it, so you can perform whitelisting of directories or files to run against via files pre-commit flag

   Example:

   - id: tofu_trivy
     files: ^prd-infra/
   

   The above will tell pre-commit to pass down files from the prd-infra/ folder only such that the underlying trivy tool can run against changed files in this directory, ignoring any other folders at the root level

2. To ignore specific warnings, follow the convention from the documentation.

   Example:

   #trivy:ignore:AVD-AWS-0107
   #trivy:ignore:AVD-AWS-0124
   resource "aws_security_group_rule" "my-rule" {
       type = "ingress"
       cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
   }
   

3. tofu_trivy supports custom arguments, so you can pass supported --format (output), --skip-dirs (exclude directories) and other flags:

    - id: tofu_trivy
      args:
        - >
          --args=--format json
          --skip-dirs="**/.terragrunt-cache"
   

tofu_validate

1. tofu_validate supports custom arguments so you can pass supported -no-color or -json flags:

    - id: tofu_validate
      args:
        - --args=-json
        - --args=-no-color
   

2. tofu_validate also supports passing custom arguments to its tofu init:

   - id: tofu_validate
     args:
       - --tf-init-args=-upgrade
       - --tf-init-args=-lockfile=readonly
   

3. It may happen that OpenTofu working directory (.terraform) already exists but not in the best condition (eg, not initialized modules, wrong version of OpenTofu, etc.). To solve this problem, you can delete broken .terraform directories in your repository:

   Option 1

   - id: tofu_validate
     args:
       - --hook-config=--retry-once-with-cleanup=true     # Boolean. true or false
   

   Note: The flag requires additional dependency to be installed: jq.

   Note: Reinit can be very slow and require downloading data from remote OpenTofu registries, and not all of that downloaded data or meta-data is currently being cached by OpenTofu.

   When --retry-once-with-cleanup=true, in each failed directory the cached modules and providers from the .terraform directory will be deleted, before retrying once more. To avoid unnecessary deletion of this directory, the cleanup and retry will only happen if OpenTofu produces any of the following error messages:

   • "Missing or corrupted provider plugins"
   • "Module source has changed"
   • "Module version requirements have changed"
   • "Module not installed"
   • "Could not load plugin"

   Warning: When using --retry-once-with-cleanup=true, problematic .terraform/modules/ and .terraform/providers/ directories will be recursively deleted without prompting for consent. Other files and directories will not be affected, such as the .terraform/environment file.

   Option 2

   An alternative solution is to find and delete all .terraform directories in your repository:

   echo "
   function rm_tofu {
       find . \( -iname ".terraform*" ! -iname ".terraform-docs*" \) -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r
   }
   " >>~/.bashrc
   
   # Reload shell and use `rm_tofu` command in the repo root
   

   tofu_validate hook will try to reinitialize them before running the tofu validate command.

   Warning: If you use OpenTofu workspaces, DO NOT use this option (details). Consider the first option, or wait for force-init option implementation.

4. tofu_validate in a repo with OpenTofu module, written using OpenTofu 1.6.0+ and which uses provider configuration_aliases (Provider Aliases Within Modules), errors out.

   When running the hook against OpenTofu code where you have provider configuration_aliases defined in a required_providers configuration block, OpenTofu will throw an error like:

   Error: Provider configuration not present To work with <resource> its original provider configuration at provider ["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"].<provider_alias> is required, but it has been removed. This occurs when a provider configuration is removed while objects created by that provider still exist in the state. Re-add the provider configuration to destroy <resource>, after which you can remove the provider configuration again.

   This is a known issue with OpenTofu and how providers are initialized in OpenTofu 1.6.0 and later. To work around this you can add an exclude parameter to the configuration of tofu_validate hook like this:

   - id: tofu_validate
     exclude: '^[^/]+$'
   

   This will exclude the root directory from being processed by this hook. Then add a subdirectory like "examples" or "tests" and put an example implementation in place that defines the providers with the proper aliases, and this will give you validation of your module through the example. If instead you are using this with multiple modules in one repository you'll want to set the path prefix in the regular expression, such as exclude: modules/offendingmodule/[^/]+$.

   Alternately, you can use terraform-config-inspect and use a variant of this script to generate a providers file at runtime:

   terraform-config-inspect --json . | jq -r '
     [.required_providers[].aliases]
     | flatten
     | del(.[] | select(. == null))
     | reduce .[] as $entry (
       {};
       .provider[$entry.name] //= [] | .provider[$entry.name] += [{"alias": $entry.alias}]
     )
   ' | tee aliased-providers.tf.json
   

   Save it as .generate-providers.sh in the root of your repository and add a pre-commit hook to run it before all other hooks, like so:

   - repos:
     - repo: local
       hooks:
         - id: generate-tofu-providers
            name: generate-tofu-providers
            require_serial: true
            entry: .generate-providers.sh
            language: script
            files: \.tf(vars)?$
            pass_filenames: false
   
     - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
   [...]
   

   Note: The latter method will leave an "aliased-providers.tf.json" file in your repo. You will either want to automate a way to clean this up or add it to your .gitignore or both.

tofu_wrapper_module_for_each

tofu_wrapper_module_for_each generates module wrappers for OpenTofu modules (useful for Terragrunt where for_each is not supported). When using this hook without arguments it will create wrappers for the root module and all modules available in "modules" directory.

You may want to customize some of the options:

1. --module-dir=... - Specify a single directory to process. Values: "." (means just root module), "modules/iam-user" (a single module), or empty (means include all submodules found in "modules/*").
2. --module-repo-org=... - Module repository organization (e.g. "terraform-aws-modules").
3. --module-repo-shortname=... - Short name of the repository (e.g. "s3-bucket").
4. --module-repo-provider=... - Name of the repository provider (e.g. "aws" or "google").

Sample configuration:

- id: tofu_wrapper_module_for_each
  args:
    - --args=--module-dir=.   # Process only root module
    - --args=--dry-run        # No files will be created/updated
    - --args=--verbose        # Verbose output

If you use hook inside Docker:
The tofu_wrapper_module_for_each hook attempts to determine the module's short name to be inserted into the generated README.md files for the source URLs. Since the container uses a bind mount at a static location, it can cause this short name to be incorrect.
If the generated name is incorrect, set them by providing the module-repo-shortname option to the hook:

- id: tofu_wrapper_module_for_each
  args:
    - '--args=--module-repo-shortname=ec2-instance'

terrascan

1. terrascan supports custom arguments so you can pass supported flags like --non-recursive and --policy-type to disable recursive inspection and set the policy type respectively:

   - id: terrascan
     args:
       - --args=--non-recursive # avoids scan errors on subdirectories without OpenTofu config files
       - --args=--policy-type=azure
   

   See the terrascan run -h command line help for available options.

2. Use the --args=--verbose parameter to see the rule ID in the scanning output. Useful to skip validations.

3. Use --skip-rules="ruleID1,ruleID2" parameter to skip one or more rules globally while scanning (e.g.: --args=--skip-rules="ruleID1,ruleID2").

4. Use the syntax #ts:skip=RuleID optional_comment inside a resource to skip the rule for that resource.

tfupdate

1. Out of the box tfupdate will pin the OpenTofu version:

   - id: tfupdate
     name: Autoupdate OpenTofu versions
   

2. If you'd like to pin providers, etc., use custom arguments, i.e provider=PROVIDER_NAME:

   - id: tfupdate
     name: Autoupdate AWS provider versions
     args:
       - --args=provider aws # Will be pined to latest version
   
   - id: tfupdate
     name: Autoupdate Helm provider versions
     args:
       - --args=provider helm
       - --args=--version 2.5.0 # Will be pined to specified version
   

Check tfupdate usage instructions for other available options and usage examples.
No need to pass --recursive . as it is added automatically.

Docker Usage

File Permissions

A mismatch between the Docker container's user and the local repository file ownership can cause permission issues in the repository where pre-commit is run. The container runs as the root user by default, and uses a tools/entrypoint.sh script to assume a user ID and group ID if specified by the environment variable USERID.

The recommended command to run the Docker container is:

TAG=latest
docker run -e "USERID=$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v $(pwd):/lint -w /lint tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu:$TAG run -a

which uses your current session's user ID and group ID to set the variable in the run command. Without this setting, you may find files and directories owned by root in your local repository.

If the local repository is using a different user or group for permissions, you can modify the USERID to the user ID and group ID needed. Do not use the username or groupname in the environment variable, as it has no meaning in the container. You can get the current directory's owner user ID and group ID from the 3rd (user) and 4th (group) columns in ls output:

$ ls -aldn .
drwxr-xr-x 9 1000 1000 4096 Sep  1 16:23 .

Download OpenTofu modules from private GitHub repositories

If you use a private Git repository as your OpenTofu module source, you are required to authenticate to GitHub using a Personal Access Token.

When running pre-commit on Docker, both locally or on CI, you need to configure the ~/.netrc file, which contains login and initialization information used by the auto-login process.

This can be achieved by firstly creating the ~/.netrc file including your GITHUB_PAT and GITHUB_SERVER_HOSTNAME

# set GH values (replace with your own values)
GITHUB_PAT=ghp_bl481aBlabl481aBla
GITHUB_SERVER_HOSTNAME=github.com

# create .netrc file
echo -e "machine $GITHUB_SERVER_HOSTNAME\n\tlogin $GITHUB_PAT" >> ~/.netrc

The ~/.netrc file will look similar to the following:

machine github.com
  login ghp_bl481aBlabl481aBla

Note: The value of GITHUB_SERVER_HOSTNAME can also refer to a GitHub Enterprise server (i.e. github.my-enterprise.com).

Finally, you can execute docker run with an additional volume mount so that the ~/.netrc is accessible within the container

# run pre-commit-opentofu with docker
# adding volume for .netrc file
# .netrc needs to be in /root/ dir
docker run --rm -e "USERID=$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v ~/.netrc:/root/.netrc -v $(pwd):/lint -w /lint tofuutils/pre-commit-opentofu:latest run -a
