terraform-init do not support TF_ACTION_WORKSPACE about terraform-github-actions HOT 4 CLOSED

related hashicorp/terraform#21393 ??

I could fix it by using TF_WORKSPACE

from terraform-github-actions.

Good point! Using TF_WORKSPACE is the preferred method. Glad you're unblocked for now.

I tested the TF_WORKSPACE environment variable. It's currently the best method to select a workspace during automation.

After following the thread to the bottom a concoction of all your ideas will work.

desired_workspace="test"
export TF_WORKSPACE="default"
terraform init -input=false
# without unsetting the env var it will bork workspace selection command
unset TF_WORKSPACE 
exists=$(terraform workspace list | sed $'s/\r//' | grep -E "(^|\s+)${desired_workspace}$" > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?)
if [ "${exists}" = "0" ]; then
  terraform workspace select ${desired_workspace}
else
  terraform workspace new ${desired_workspace}
fi
