terraspace new project infra --plugin azurerm --examples not working

[boristyukin]

I just installed terraspace and terraform in Ubuntu WSL2. Everything is the latest version.

I used standalone installer for Terraspace as I did not want to install Ruby separately. Followed the steps here:
https://terraspace.cloud/docs/install/standalone/

$ terraspace setup check
Detected Terrspace version: 1.0.0
Detected Terraform bin: /home/boris/.tfenv/bin/terraform
Detected Terraform v1.1.3
Terraspace requires Terraform v0.12.x and above
You're all set!

If I run

terraspace new project infra --plugin azurerm --examples

I get this error below.

BUT
if I run demo for AWS or Google, all is fine! So these two commands below work perfectly fine for me:

terraspace new project infra --plugin aws --examples
terraspace new project infra --plugin google --examples

$ terraspace new project infra --plugin azurerm --examples

Checklist

• Upgrade Terraspace: Are you using the latest version of Terraspace? This allows Terraspace to fix issues fast. There's an Upgrading Guide: https://terraspace.cloud/docs/misc/upgrading/
• Reproducibility: Are you reporting a bug others will be able to reproduce and not asking a question. If you're unsure or want to ask a question, do so on https://community.boltops.com
• Code sample: Have you put together a code sample to reproduce the issue and make it available? Code samples help speed up fixes dramatically. If it's an easily reproducible issue, then code samples are not needed. If you're unsure, please include a code sample.

My Environment

Windows 10 with WSL2 Ubuntu, all most recent versions
ruby 3.0.3p157 (2021-11-24 revision 3fb7d2cadc) [x86_64-linux]
Detected Terrspace version: 1.0.0
Detected Terraform v1.1.3

Looks like terraspace_plugin_azurerm requires that unf_ext gem but the other plugins do not. And unf_ext gem is having trouble installing on the Windows WSL2 Linux env. What's in: /opt/terraspace/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.0.0/unf_ext-0.0.8/mkmf.log

gem install unf_ext

Guessing it's probably a missing development header library. Guessing that the ubuntu version on the Windows WSL2 is missing it. Unsure if installing the development header outside of opt will allow it to work.

Am interested in Windows WSL2. Think going to provide docs with terraspace and Windows WSL2. Have seen more and more folks in other projects like Jets using WSL2. So hopefully that's a way for windows users to use terraspace.

thanks @tongueroo, yes WSL2 is super popular lately for sure!

this is the content of mkmf.log file:

@tongueroo looks like it works now!

I had to run that in WSL2 on Ubuntu and it seems that it did the trick:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev

but I think I also installed terraspace using gem install terraspace when I was troubleshooting why example did not work with standalone terraspace installer
