Problem: Terraform Provider Upgrade breaks Semaphore Task

[lug-gh]

Issue

If you raise the version of a provider in your Terraform configuration, semaphore fails with the following error:

│ Error: Failed to query available provider packages
│ Could not retrieve the list of available versions for provider
│ telmate/proxmox: locked provider registry.terraform.io/telmate/proxmox
│ 3.0.1-rc4 does not match configured version constraint 3.0.1-rc6; must use
│ terraform init -upgrade to allow selection of new versions
╵

I can work around this by going into the semaphore container and executing the terraform command manually, but this is not a practical way of working, as updating a terraform provider is an everyday thing.

Additional information

The terraform init -upgrade command should be executable from the web interface, or alternatively not have to be confirmed at all. If I adjust the provider version in my Terraform code, then there is a good reason for this.

I know this is not a solution, but you can workaround this problem adding an environment variable to your execution:

TF_CLI_ARGS_init="-upgrade=true"

This will add the -upgrade switch during the init call.

Hope it helps.

I added flag -upgrade to UI for terraform/opentofu tasks.
