Hacking on terraform-provider-oneview

We welcome your contributions to the OneView provider for Terraform! See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

Go get

This project is go getable! In order to use the latest code in the master branch and also build the binary to use with Hashicorp's Terraform, just issue the following command:

go get -u github.com/HewlettPackard/terraform-provider-oneview

Where -u will also pull down the latest version of the code rather than use the version (if any) you have stored already on your $GOPATH.

The command above will download the dependency to your $GOPATH and also build the binary and place it into $GOPATH/bin so you can later copy it to a different location, along with the terraform binary you can get from here.

Go dependency management

We use govendor as a dependency management tool, because i of how clean the result is. When adding new external dependencies to terraform-provider-oneview, you must also add those dependencies into the repository so they can be version-controlled. To do so, first pull the dependency into your own $GOPATH -- since terraform-provider-oneview expects a proper Go installation with a $GOPATH set, which it's set by default since Go 1.8 to be at $HOME/go -- and then you can run:

govendor add +external

Which will find for extra differences in the dependencies and will add the new ones that weren't before inside the vendor/ folder.

Pinning an specific version of a dependency or update existent dependencies

You can update existing dependencies or add new ones and also pin them to an specific semver or git SHA by running:

# Add new dependencies by fetching them with an specific git SHA
govendor fetch github.com/HewlettPackard/dependency@a4bbce9fcae005b22ae5443f6af064d80a6f5a55

# Add new dependencies by using the latest code in the git tag or branch "v1.*.*"
govendor fetch github.com/HewlettPackard/dependency@v1

# Add new dependencies by using an exact git branch tag
govendor fetch github.com/HewlettPackard/dependency@=v1

For more information on how to use govendor, please refer to their documentation.
