Terraform Provider

Note: this Terraform provider is now publically available on the Terraform Registry.

Requirements

  • Terraform 1.0.x
  • Go 1.9 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-ciscoasa

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-ciscoasa

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-ciscoasa
$ make build

Using the provider

If you're building the provider, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. After placing it into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.9+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-ciscoasa
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the Acceptance tests:

  1. Prepare environment with Cisco ASA instance and Rest API installed and configured (check testinfra folder for Terraform configs example)
  2. Check/export necessary Environment Variables
  3. Run make testinfra-testacc.

The list of current available Environment Variables:

EnvVar Default value Usage
CISCOASA_SSLNOVERIFY true Skip SSL verification on connection to Cisco ASA API
CISCOASA_OBJECT_PREFIX acc Prefix for objects created by tests
CISCOASA_INTERFACE_NAME inside Named interface which will be used in tests
CISCOASA_INTERFACE_HW_ID_BASE TenGigabitEthernet0 Base part of Interface Hardware ID
CISCOASA_INTERFACE_HW_IDS 1,2 Interfaces Hardware ID indexes
CISCOASA_USERNAME $(cd testinfra; terraform output asav_username) Username for Cisco ASA API
CISCOASA_PASSWORD $(cd testinfra; terraform output asav_password) Password for Cisco ASA API
CISCOASA_API_URL https://$(cd testinfra; terraform output asav_public_ip) URL for Cisco ASA API
$ make testinfra-testacc

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

$ make testacc
