terraform-zap
Run terraform-zap
to skip over ignored (likely protected) Terraform resources,
while destroying all other resources similarly to terraform destroy
.
terraform
must still be installed and residing within PATH
, since
terraform-zap
is just a binary wrapper over terraform
.
Background
Currently if any of the .tf
files contain prevent_destroy = true
for any of
the resources, terraform destroy
will fail, with no flag provisioned to force
terraform
to skip such resources.
This script wrapper helps to alleviate the issue by parsing .tfzignore
file in
the current working directory, where the .tf
files are residing in, to skip
over specified resource names, in a similar fashion to .gitignore
.
Example .tfzignore
file (TOML format)
exact = [
"postgresql_database.some_db_name",
"postgresql_role.some_role_name",
]
If there are resources that exactly match the names above, these resources are
automatically skipped, solving the problem of having to type complicated
commands in order to skip the above resources to possibly resolve the
prevent_destroy = true
issue, with just a terraform-zap
command.
Installation
Direct download for Linux x86_64
The easiest way is to run the install script using shell as shown below.
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guangie88/terraform-zap/master/install-linux.sh | sudo sh
You will need to run as root
, or run via sudo
, since the script will place
terraform-zap
binary file into /usr/local/bin/
.
You may also choose to visit releases and download the latest version of statically built binary in the zip asset.
Via cargo install
(works for Linux, Windows and Mac)
You will first need to install cargo
from https://rustup.rs/. The
installation process should be very straightforward for any major architecture
and operating system.
After which, run cargo install terraform-zap
for the installation. This will
automatically fetch terraform-zap
CLI application from
crates.io
, compile and install into your Cargo
installation binary directory.
If terraform-zap
was already installed, run cargo install -f terraform-zap
instead.
How to run
With .tfzignore
file in place, simply run terraform-zap
. You should see
mainly terraform destroy
logs in place, but the ignored resources should now
no longer appear during the confirmation.
If previously there were resources
with prevent_destroy = true
set, if these resources are correctly ignored,
the confirmation prompt should appear properly.
If you need to pass arguments to terraform destroy
instead, use positional
arguments, for e.g.
terraform-zap -vvv -- -no-color -var "foo=bar"
-vvv
is passed into terraform-zap
, while -no-color
, -var
and "foo=bar"
are passed into terraform destroy
.
For more CLI argument details, type terraform-zap -h
.
terraform zap
instead of terraform-zap
(for bash
set-up)
It is possible to allow terraform zap [...]
to run terraform-zap [...]
, by
using a function that is exported on startup. This makes the external program
look like part of a terraform
subcommand.
Note that this is purely cosmetic and optional.
Add the following bash
function to the any of your startup script (e.g.
~/.bashrc
), to allow the above
terraform() {
if [[ $1 == "zap" ]]; then
command terraform-zap "${@:2}"
else
command terraform "${@:1}"
fi
}
Either restart the current terminal, or run source ~/.bashrc
(if following
the example), and try terraform zap
to check if the above function is working
as intended. Running in non-Terraform directory should result in
No state file was found!
error message being shown, signifying that the
function is correctly set up.

Acknowledgements
Thanks to @chrissng
for providing the original
terraform destroy
command that only targets non-protected resources. The
original command line is as follow:
TARGETS=$(for I in $(terraform state list | grep -v postgresql); \
do echo " -target $I"; done); \
echo terraform destroy $TARGETS
