[Learn Lab] Create a Terraform provider with the Plugin Framework

Create a Terraform provider with HashiCorp’s Plugin Framework. Terraform providers let you manage resources via their underlying product APIs. The Plugin Framework is a Go SDK you will use to develop your own Terraform providers.
In this lab, you will create a Terraform provider for an example application. Once you know how to use the Framework, you can use it to create Terraform providers for your company’s products, internal services, and third-party applications.

Robin should have focused on implenting resource's Update() operation.

[@HashiCorp]

We couldn’t cover everything about provider development in-depth in a one-hour session, but you can learn more about the Update operation in the documentation ( developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework/resources/update ) and in our provider framework tutorial series ( developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/providers-plugin-framework )

@@HashiCorp so youtube comments disregards the starting brace, but fails to remove the closing brace. In case any one is getting a 404 on clicking, check the URL in browser.

[@HashiCorp]

Thanks for calling that out, added a space and they seem to be working now!

[@harshas9367]

There is no lock file created upon terraform plan,
.tf file not recognizing local file but trying to connect to registry

[@HashiCorp]

Apologies for any errors during this live presentation! Hopefully the links below can help.
Here is some documentation on dependency lock: developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/files/dependency-lock
If Terraform is trying to connect to the registry, it's possible there is something wrong with your setup of ~/.terraformrc , shown at 21:10. The setup is slightly different for windows, you can find instructions in the windows tab of the tutorial: developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/providers-plugin-framework/providers-plugin-framework-provider#prepare-terraform-for-local-provider-install
Or in the documentation: developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file

[@lemur8217]

Think i got the same message as you. If you are using windows, try replacing the in the terraform.rc file to "/users/"username"/go/bin" instead of "C:\users\"username"\go\bin". "username" will ofc be replace by your actual username :)

[@harshas9367]

@@lemur8217 so, do you have hashicups binary at "users/username/go/bin" and go also installed at the same place?
I am using linux btw

[@harshas9367]

@@lemur8217 , I am using linux and path is /home/username/go/bin where the binary is present but terraform cannot recognize it

[@harshas9367]

Got it, I hadn't kept .terraformrc in the right path

[@maxolande7431]

would have been awesome if you implemented the solution with Typescript CDK for Terraform

[@dus10dnd]

A link to the repository in the info section would be great.

Thanks so much for calling that out! Fix has been deployed: developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/providers-plugin-framework/providers-plugin-framework-provider-configure#implement-temporary-data-source

[@SectorFoxx]

you never fixed the file path error in the coffee_data_source.go file

@@HashiCorp this was an error in the documentation the speaker said they would fix and is not fixed

[@HashiCorp]

@@SectorFoxx Was that the one mentioned at 39:42? If so, a fix was just rolled out so please let us know if you're still having issues.
