let me know if you need something

The link under Reference is broken: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate#reference

If this really is almost all automated, it'd be cool to be able to simply have a list in a CI config that will automatically generate the Pulumi providers.

If the pulumi provider name differs from the Terraform provider name, set TF_NAME in Makefile to the Terraform name, leaving PACK set to the Pulumi name.

How would I tell if the pulumi provider name is different than the Terraform name? It appears that everything with the Datadog provider is named datadog.

The README mentions go 1.12.1. Will go 1.12.6 work?

Found the older go tar download. I'll just use that to be safe.

Everything went smooth until the go get terraform provider step. Here's the console output: https://gist.github.com/kennyjwilli/8a59c1e886ee60ec226008c6e1cb62a3

Perhaps I need this? http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/Download

Tried installing. Getting this from `apt-get update`:

Err:9 <http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu> bionic Release                                                        
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]

and

E: The repository '<http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu> bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

Is there a recommended way to install this tool?

Hmm, a regular

apt-get install bzr

appeared to install it. Never heard of bazaar vcs.

Alright all the go get steps appear to have succeeded. No getting this:

make ensure
ENSURE:
GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor
/bin/bash: line 1: gomod-doccopy: command not found
build/common.mk:182: recipe for target 'ensure' failed
make: *** [ensure] Error 127

gmod-doccopy appears to be a pulumi tool. Do I need that installed somehow?

Hmm, the first step in the list does this:

go get <http://github.com/pulumi/scripts/gomod-doccopy|github.com/pulumi/scripts/gomod-doccopy>

. Perhaps I need to expose something else in my path?

Ah, I need

$HOME/go/bin

on my PATH.

At Build the provider step! I'm fairly certain required configuration needs to be set here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate/blob/b0e45da159f0233f0a41772026b1aa833fd82188/resources.go#L102-L109. I added these:

"api_key": {
				Type: makeType("api_key", "ApiKey"),
				Default: &tfbridge.DefaultInfo{
					EnvVars: []string{"DATADOG_API_KEY"},
				},
			},
			"app_key": {
				Type: makeType("app_key", "AppKey"),
				Default: &tfbridge.DefaultInfo{
					EnvVars: []string{"DATADOG_APP_KEY"},
				},
			},

Does that look correct?

Also, how do you add an optional config parameter? It looks like the Datadog provider can optionally take in an `api_url`: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/datadog/index.html#argument-reference

Btw - would be great to collect all your feedback here on the process of applying the boilerplate repo and open an issue so we can improve the documentation around this.

I know

aws:profile

is optional. There's nothing here to indicate that it is optional: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/6a78b9008cf552324391f994a2c493da0d67e5db/resources.go#L223-L227. Does the terraform provider handle setting defaults?

Alright I think it's ready to test. How would I test it? I tried running

make

and got:

make

It sounds like it's trying to do something with a Github repo that doesn't exist.

all aroundshared files.. 😞
