An acceptance test is a Go test function with the prefix `TestAcc`.
An acceptance test is a Go test function with the prefix TestAcc.
To run a focussed acceptance test named TestAccFeatureHappyPath:
Run go test -run=TestAccFeatureHappyPath with the following environment
variables:
TF_ACC=1Default to non-verbose test output.
The acceptance tests may require additional environment variables for specific providers. If the test output indicates missing environment variables, then suggest how to set up these environment variables securely.
To diagnose a failing acceptance test, use these options, in order. These options are cumulative: each option includes all the options above it.
-count=1 option to ensure that go test does
not use a cached result.go test output. Use the -v option.TF_LOG=debug.TF_ACC_WORKING_DIR_PERSIST=1.A passing acceptance test may be a false negative. To "flip" a passing
acceptance test named TestAccFeatureHappyPath:
npx claudepluginhub hashicorp/agent-skills --plugin terraform-provider-developmentGuides writing Terraform tests in .tftest.hcl: run blocks, assertions, provider mocks, module validation, plan/apply modes, and CI/CD pipelines.
Provides patterns for Terraform provider acceptance tests using terraform-plugin-testing and Plugin Framework. Covers TestCase/TestStep structure, state/plan checks, import testing, sweepers, scenarios, and ephemeral resources.
Writes and reviews production-ready Go tests: table-driven tests, testify suites, parallel tests, fuzzing, goroutine leak detection, snapshot testing, and integration tests. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging Go tests.
