Jenkins and Terraform

[Patria Lukman]

I'm building a pipeline with Terraform docker container and I'm getting error message: "Terraform initialized in an empty directory!"

In my Jenkinsfile I'm executing something like this:

Terraform 0.12.1

docker run -w /app -v /jenkins_dir:/app my-repo/hashicorp-terraform:0.12.1 init 


When I execute a ls -all on the /jenkins_dir directory, I see the configurations files. I also ran a similar instruction locally and it works without issues. Seems to me this is a Jenkins issue but I can't see why?

You say you executed ls in that directory... Did you change there first from inside the Docker? 

Does it have a WORKING directory set in the Dockerfile?

thanks Miguel for your quick reply. I fixed the issue, I had to use the docker agent facility instead of spinning the Docker container from within the node.

Here is the fix. Using the official Hashicorp image, the important detail is to disable the entrypoint. The definition of the Working directory along with the Volume was already defined.

pipeline {
  agent {
          docker {
              image 'my-repo/hashicorp-terraform:0.12.1'
              args  '--entrypoint="" -w /app -v /var/jenkins_home/jobs/devopsmigration/jobs/NexusIQ/branches/master/workspace:/app'
      }
  }

  stages {
    stage('checkout') {
      steps {
        checkout scm
      }
    }

    stage('init') {
      steps {
        sh 'terraform version && terraform init -input=false'
      }
    }

Hi, 

You need to explore  auto approv option with cli.
