tfupdate
Features
- Update version constraints of Terraform core, providers, and modules
- Update all your Terraform configurations recursively under a given directory
- Get the latest release version from the GitHub, GitLab, or Terraform Registry
- Terraform v0.12+ support
If you integrate tfupdate with your favorite CI or job scheduler, you can check the latest release daily and create a Pull Request automatically.
Why?
It is a best practice to break your Terraform configuration and state into small pieces to minimize the impact of an accident. It is also recommended to lock versions of Terraform core, providers and modules to avoid unexpected breaking changes. If you decided to lock version constraints, you probably want to keep them up-to-date frequently to reduce the risk of version upgrade failures. It's easy to update a single directory, but what if they are scattered across multiple directories?
That is why I wrote a tool which parses Terraform configurations and updates all version constraints at once.
Install
Homebrew
If you are macOS user:
$ brew install minamijoyo/tfupdate/tfupdate
Download

https://github.com/minamijoyo/tfupdate/releases
Source
If you have Go 1.17+ development environment:
$ git clone https://github.com/minamijoyo/tfupdate
$ cd tfupdate/
$ make install
$ tfupdate --version
Docker
You can also run it with Docker:
$ docker run -it --rm minamijoyo/tfupdate --version
Usage
tfupdate --help
Usage: tfupdate [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]
Available commands are:
module Update version constraints for module
provider Update version constraints for provider
release Get release version information
terraform Update version constraints for terraform
terraform
$ tfupdate terraform --help
Usage: tfupdate terraform [options] <PATH>
Arguments
PATH A path of file or directory to update
Options:
-v --version A new version constraint (default: latest)
If the version is omitted, the latest version is automatically checked and set.
-r --recursive Check a directory recursively (default: false)
-i --ignore-path A regular expression for path to ignore
If you want to ignore multiple directories, set the flag multiple times.
If you have main.tf like the following:
$ cat main.tf
terraform {
required_version = "0.12.15"
}
Execute the following command:
$ tfupdate terraform -v 0.12.16 main.tf
$ cat main.tf
terraform {
required_version = "0.12.16"
}
If you want to update all your Terraform configurations under the current directory recursively,
use -r (--recursive) option:
$ tfupdate terraform -v 0.12.16 -r ./
You can also ignore some path patterns with -i (--ignore-path) option:
$ tfupdate terraform -v 0.12.16 -i modules/ -r ./
If the version is omitted, the latest version is automatically checked and set.
$ tfupdate terraform -r ./
provider
$ tfupdate provider --help
Usage: tfupdate provider [options] <PROVIDER_NAME> <PATH>
Arguments
PROVIDER_NAME A name of provider (e.g. aws, google, azurerm)
PATH A path of file or directory to update
Options:
-v --version A new version constraint (default: latest)
If the version is omitted, the latest version is automatically checked and set.
Getting the latest version automatically is supported only for official providers.
If you have an unofficial provider, use release latest command.
-r --recursive Check a directory recursively (default: false)
-i --ignore-path A regular expression for path to ignore
If you want to ignore multiple directories, set the flag multiple times.
$ cat main.tf
provider "aws" {
version = "2.39.0"
}
$ tfupdate provider aws -v 2.40.0 main.tf
$ cat main.tf
provider "aws" {
version = "2.40.0"
}
module
$ tfupdate module --help
Usage: tfupdate module [options] <MODULE_NAME> <PATH>
Arguments
MODULE_NAME A name of module
e.g.
terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws
git::https://example.com/vpc.git
PATH A path of file or directory to update
Options:
-v --version A new version constraint (required)
Automatic latest version resolution is not currently supported for modules.
-r --recursive Check a directory recursively (default: false)
-i --ignore-path A regular expression for path to ignore
If you want to ignore multiple directories, set the flag multiple times.
$ cat main.tf
module "vpc" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws"
version = "2.20.0"
}
$ tfupdate module -v 2.21.0 terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws main.tf
$ cat main.tf
module "vpc" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws"
version = "2.21.0"
}
release
$ tfupdate release --help
Usage: tfupdate release <subcommand> [options] [args]

Subcommands:
latest Get the latest release version
list Get a list of release versions
$ tfupdate release latest --help
Usage: tfupdate release latest [options] <SOURCE>
Arguments
SOURCE A path of release data source.
Valid format depends on --source-type option.
- github or gitlab:
owner/repo

$ tfupdate release latest terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws
2.40.0
If you want to access private repositories on GitHub, export your access token to the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
If you want to access public or private repositories on GitLab, export your access token with api permissions to the GITLAB_TOKEN environment variable. If you are using an instance that is not https://gitlab.com, set the correct base URL to the GITLAB_BASE_URL environment variable (defaults to https://gitlab.com/api/v4/).
