Getting Started with tfaction.

In this getting started, you create a repository from the template repository and set up tfaction and manage GitHub Issue Label with Terraform.

You would know how to set up tfaction and how tfaction works.

Set up.

1. Create a repository from this template repository
2. Create required resources with Terraform
3. Create Personal Access Token
4. Fix the template and tfaction-root.yaml

Let's tfaction.

1. Scaffold a working directory
2. Create a pull request

Create the following resources.

• IAM OpenID Connect provider
• S3 Buckets
• IAM Roles

$ cd aws/github-terraform-ci
$ vi main.tf # Change local values
$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
$ terraform apply

After this getting started, clean up resources.

$ terraform destroy

We recommend using GitHub App instead of Personal Access Token, but in this getting started let's use a personal access token. Create a Personal Access Token and set it as GitHub Actions Secret.

https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

Secret Name: GH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secrets

Required permission: https://suzuki-shunsuke.github.io/tfaction/docs/config/github-token

$ vi tfaction-root.yaml
$ vi templates/github/main.tf
$ git add tfaction-root.yaml templates/github
$ git checkout -b update-template
$ git commit -m "update template"
$ git push origin update-template
$ gh pr create -t "update template" -b "update template"

Please merge the pull request.

Please run GitHub Actions Workflow scaffold-working-directory.

$ gh workflow run scaffold-working-directory.yaml -f target=github/foo

Then a pull request would be created.

Please merge the pull request.

The working directory github/foo was created. Let's add an issue request label with Terraform.

$ git fetch origin main
$ git checkout -b add-issue-label origin/main
$ vi github/foo/label.tf

label.tf

resource "github_issue_label" "bar" {
  repository  = "tfaction-getting-started" # CHANGE
  name        = "bar"
  color       = "FF0000"
  description = "bar"
}

$ git add github/foo/label.tf
$ git commit -m "add an issue label"
$ git push origin add-issue-label
$ gh pr create -t "add an issue label" -b "add an issue label"

Please confirm the result of terraform plan and merge the pull request. Then terraform apply would be run in the main branch.
