Incompatible API version with plugin. Plugin version: 1, Ours: 2

[Sam Lee]

For those who are actively building custom plug-ins, anyone getting this error lately after trying run terraform?

`Incompatible API version with plugin. Plugin version: 1, Ours: 2`

Sam,

Terraform master recently changed the plugin protocol to support some newer features coming in 0.7. You'll have to compile against an older version of Terraform (check out the tag v0.6.16 for example) in your GOPATH. 

Best,

Mitchell

Hi Sam,

In addition the state version bump that James talked about in this post, the master branch also has a bump to the plugin protocol version.

This is the communication protocol that's used between the core terraform process and its plugin processes.

You'll want to build against Terraform at the latest v0.6.x tag instead of against master if you want your plugin to be compatible with released versions of Terraform.

I hope this helps to clarify! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Paul

thanks Mitchell and Paul.  I guess `go get ./...` is no longer my favorite command. lol
