Error handling in terraform

[Mangalick Mitra]

Just started using terraform. Sometimes when using the apply command, the resources may not be created due to wrong image id, region etc etc. Can someone please tell me is there an error handling way for when an apply fails. Like if am using a script to execute the terraform commands, how do i know if the apply executed successfully.

If you're running terraform from a *nix like operating system, you can look at the exit code. 

0 should be successful and everything else some sort of failure. 

For example:

 ~  tf apply

No configuration files found!

[...]

 ✘  ~  echo $?

1
