Provider Test Patterns

provider-test-patterns

Terraform provider acceptance test patterns using terraform-plugin-testing with the Plugin Framework. Covers test structure, TestCase/TestStep fields, ConfigStateChecks with custom statecheck.StateCheck implementations, plan checks, CompareValue for cross-step assertions, config helpers, import testing with ImportStateKind, sweepers, and scenario patterns (basic, update, disappears, validation, regression), and ephemeral resource testing with the echoprovider package. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging provider acceptance tests, including questions about statecheck, plancheck, TestCheckFunc, CheckDestroy, ExpectError, import state verification, ephemeral resources, or how to structure test files.

How to use Provider Test Patterns

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /provider-test-patterns.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.

What the instructions cover

  1. 1Test Lifecycle
  2. 2Test Function Structure
  3. 3Provider Factory
  4. 4TestCase Fields
  5. 5TestStep Fields
  6. 6Check Functions
  7. 7Config Helpers
  8. 8Scenario Patterns
  9. 9Helper Functions
