To setup debugging while writing to the AWS Terraform Provider, create a .vscode dir in the root of your clone terraform-provider-aws local repo then create a launch.json & private.env inside that .vscode directory.
Notice you will have to update PKG_NAME to the specific service you're developing to. Bonus points to anyone who can figure out a smoother way to set that dynamically based on the location of your test file.
Setup
$ git clone git@github.com:hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws.git
$ mkdir terraform-provider-aws/.vscode
Create launch.json
$ cat << 'EOF' > terraform-provider-aws/.vscode/launch.json

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch a test function",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}",
"args": [
"-test.v",
"-test.run",
"^${selectedText}$"
],
"showLog": true,
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/private.env"
}
]
}
EOF
Create private.env
$ cat << 'EOF' > terraform-provider-aws/.vscode/private.env
TF_ACC=1
TF_LOG=INFO
GOFLAGS='-mod=readonly'
PKG_NAME='internal/service/ec2'
EOF
Usage
Reload VSCode and source a profile for terraform's acc tests to use. You can do this by either opening vscode from a terminal with a profile set or by using the AWS Toolkit.
Set break-points in your <resource_name>.go file, highlight the test you want to run and click the green "play" button in VSCode debug panel.
Enjoy!
