LTF does not support remote configurations

[raymondbutcher]

Why?

I think this would require either:

• Run terraform init -from-module=MODULE-SOURCE.
• Doing what -from-module does another way.

This would leave files in the directory, which then requires either:

• Put files into the configuration directory, and clean them up afterwards.
  • Pretf does this. It requires careful use of .gitignore and deleting certain files before and after Terraform runs. It works, but I want LTF to avoid this complexity.
• Run Terraform in a temporary directory and delete it afterwards.
  • Terraspace and some other tools do this (but Terraspace doesn't support remote configurations). Sometimes you need to change into that directory and run Terraform manually. In those situations, the wrapper tool gets in the way of using Terraform. LTF won't get in the way.

Alternatives

If this feature is important to you, consider these alternatives:

• Pretf
• Tau
• Terragrunt
