Run Acceptance Tests

hashicorp/agent-skillsOfficial

If you're working on Terraform providers and need to run Go acceptance tests (the ones prefixed with TestAcc), this walks Claude through the proper setup with TF_ACC=1 and structured debugging steps when things fail. It covers the basics like running focused tests, then escalates through increasingly verbose options: cache busting with count=1, verbose output, debug logging with TF_LOG=debug, and persisting workspaces. There's also a clever "flip test" procedure to catch false positives by deliberately breaking a check to verify the test actually validates what you think it does. It's MPL licensed and clearly built for the IBM provider ecosystem, but the patterns apply to any Terraform provider work.

An acceptance test is a Go test function with the prefix TestAcc.

Before running: acceptance tests create real infrastructure against the provider's live API, which may incur cost. Confirm the configured credentials point at a test account before proceeding.

To run a focused acceptance test named TestAccFeatureHappyPath:

  1. Run go test -run=TestAccFeatureHappyPath -timeout 60m with the following environment variables:

    • TF_ACC=1

    Default to non-verbose test output. Always pass an explicit -timeout: go test kills any test run after 10 minutes by default, and acceptance tests routinely exceed that.

  2. The acceptance tests may require additional environment variables for specific providers. To discover which ones:

    • Read the test's PreCheck / testAccPreCheck function and search the test files: grep -rn "os.Getenv" --include="*_test.go".
    • Check the repository's README, CONTRIBUTING, or .env.example for documented test setup.
    • The provider's Configure method shows how credentials are resolved; use the provider-configuration skill (if available) to understand a credential provider chain.
