Maintainers

This provider plugin is maintained by Xi Ning Wang (https://github.com/osswangxining/terraform-provider-ibm).

Requirements

• Terraform 0.10.x
• Go 1.8 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone [email protected]:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
$ make build

Using the provider

see https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/http/data_source.html

• Download the plugin.
• Install it, or put into a directory with configuration files.
• Create a minimal terraform template file. There is an example in sample/.
• Modify the settings in the provider and the topic settings in the kafka_topic resource.
• Run:

$ terraform apply

• Example configuration:

provider "kafka" {
  bootstrap_servers = ["localhost:9092"]
}

resource "kafka_topic" "logs" {
  name               = "systemd_logs"
  replication_factor = 2
  partitions         = 100

  config = {
    "segment.ms" = "20000"
  }
}

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.8+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make bin
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

$ make testacc
