#atlantis - July 2021

Hey question about Atlantis checks, we're experiencing an issue where after an apply is run, even after there are errors in stdout the apply check marks as successful, is this behaviour expected?

Nope.

We're using a Terragrunt worfklow.

    apply:
      steps:
        - env:
            name: TERRAGRUNT_TFPATH
            command: 'echo "terraform${ATLANTIS_TERRAFORM_VERSION}"'
        - run: terragrunt apply-all -no-color --terragrunt-parallelism 4 --terragrunt-non-interactive | grep -v 'terragrunt'

Yeah, because you are using $action-all which fucks with stdout

Ah lame =(

Don't use plan-all/apply-all, they aren't safe.

Maybe alluring, but really not safe.

Thanks for the quick response @joshmyers! Very alluring, but yes, we recognise that it's not good practice. Originally was using it for larger deployments that were modular, so we were creating atlantis projects to run the commands with the dependencies block. Since moved away from that but still using the same workflow

Easy fix, thanks again 🙂

@joshmyers do you use -auto-approve flag in your workflow that doesn't have the *-all ?

hey, i have a project that uses .tfvars files, a file per environment. Each environment uses it’s own backend stored in the same account as all other resources. What would be a good way to do terraform init for each environment and pass different configuration?

i guess this section of docs applies here https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/custom-workflows.html#custom-backend-config however I’m not sure how the content of custom backend file would look like, ant pointers please?

please ignore the question, it’s just standard terraform backend config file 🤦

Hey There,
We are currently using Terragrunt for Atlantis workflow and recently updated the Atlantis image to the latest one.
Now, when we try to do a plan, it succeeds and shows the plan out put as:

but, when we try to comment the apply command it throws 2 different types of errors:
1. When you just comment "atlantis apply"

Ran Apply for 0 projects:

2. When you comment "atlantis apply -d test/myproject", it throws the following error

exit status 1: running "terragrunt apply -no-color $$PLANFILE" in "/home/atlantis/.atlantis/repos/myrepo/myproject": 

Error: Failed to load "2408PLANFILE" as a plan file

Error: stat 2408PLANFILE: no such file or directory
time=2021-07-28T17:40:15Z level=error msg=1 error occurred:
	* exit status 1

anyone faced something like this before? or any pointers on what I should be looking at?

so, I started up atlantis for my terraform code base, it was working fine… Now I am getting this error on init

Error: Failed to install provider from shared cache

How do I resolve it? Do I really just not commit the lock files like threads are suggesting, seems broken.

The weird thing is, it worked for a few plans/PR’s/commits and now its coming up with this.
