GDP Middleware Helper Provider

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0
• Go >= 1.23
• Ensure go env GOBIN is set
  • If not set add export GOBIN=/Users/<user>/go/bin/ to your bashrc

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command from the root of the project:

go install .

• Add the following to your $HOME/terraformrc file

provider_installation {

  dev_overrides {
      "ibm/gdp-middleware-helper" = "/Users/<user>/go/bin"
  }

  # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider
  # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use
  # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available.
  direct {}
}
