See https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cloudposse/template/latest instead

what

• Add data source utils_template_file - copied and converted over from the hashicorp/template provider

notes

• Perhaps the tests should be copied and ported over too ?
• I could not port the tflang.scope over as it's now an internal function.
  • Without this, none of the terraform functions within the template file would be able to execute.
  • Perhaps it would be better to use MakeTemplateFileFunc which is the same function mapped to templatefile.
  • Looks like tfsec had to copy over all the hashicorp/terraform/internal files in order to reuse the functions.

data "utils_template_file" "test" {
  template = file("${path.module}/init.tpl")
  vars = {
    consul_address = "test"
    port           = "8080"
  }
}

output "value" {
  value = data.utils_template_file.test.rendered
}

terraform {
  required_providers {
    utils = {
      source  = "cloudposse/utils"
    }
  }
}

#!/bin/bash

echo "CONSUL_ADDRESS = ${consul_address}" > /tmp/iplist

$ terraform apply
value = <<EOT
#!/bin/bash

echo "CONSUL_ADDRESS = test" > /tmp/iplist

EOT

why

• templatefile function only works with files created before the init stage
• existing template provider does not have a darwin arm plugin
