-Var-File Support

[tcmoody]

Hello all, I use the tfvars file just about everywhere for my terraform (try to avoid using the -var arg), is there any chance that -var-file arg support will be coming soon?

We had no plans to add it, but a PR would be welcome! You'd add it to terraform.Options and add the appropriate CLI args here.

You may be able to use this technique:

Use the TerraformDir in terraform.Options you can put your *.auto.tfvars and terraform.tfvars files there and they'll be auto-loaded.

This works well in a lot of scenarios. It won't work well if you want to have many tests where the terraform code (under test) TerraformDir is the same and you want to use different .tfvars files to change some complex variables (that can't be passed in Vars (-var)).

I too welcome a PR adding -var-file support.

This is being worked on in #201

@tcmoody - Now that #201 is merged I think that this can be closed 😃
