A quick blog post on assisting with a couple of errors I came across when using workflow hashicorp/setup-terraform@v2 – this also remediates hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1 also.
Two errors found, relating to the same fix:
First error:
Error: building AzureRM Client: obtain subscription() from Azure CLI: parsing json result from the Azure CLI: waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1: ERROR: Please run 'az login' to setup account.
Second error:
Error: Error building ARM Config: obtain subscription() from Azure CLI: parsing json result from the Azure CLI: waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1: ERROR: Please run 'az login' to setup account.
The fix
As detailed here in standard terraform usage is:
The issue is resolved after setting the environment variables -> ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, ARM_TENANT_ID, ARM_CLIENT_ID and ARM_CLIENT_SECRET.
Within my GitHub action, here is my remediation example showing a successful run of Terraform init:
name: 'Terraform'
on:
push:
branches:
- main
pull_request:
jobs:
terraform:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup Terraform
uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
- name: Terraform Init
run: |
export ARM_CLIENT_ID=$ARM_CLIENT_ID
export ARM_CLIENT_SECRET=$ARM_CLIENT_SECRET
export ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
export ARM_TENANT_ID=$ARM_TENANT_ID
terraform init
env:
ARM_CLIENT_ID: ${{secrets.ARM_CLIENT_ID}}
ARM_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{secrets.ARM_CLIENT_SECRET}}
ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: ${{secrets.ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}}
ARM_TENANT_ID: ${{secrets.ARM_TENANT_ID}}
Notice the highlighted above? I have used export to resolve the error, exporting in the required values of ARM_CLIENT_ID , ARM_CLIENT_SECRET , ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID , ARM_TENANT_ID
with a successful run as shown below.
