Log SDK Version Information

[bflad]

Version

v0.5.0

Use-cases

Providers can be running a variety of SDK packages and versions. Similar to the Terraform CLI:

2021-12-23T16:20:04.565-0500 [INFO]  Terraform version: 1.1.2

It would be great to include SDK version information in the logging.

Attempted Solutions

Asking folks after the fact which SDK version is involved, which might require spelunking which provider version was being used then which SDK version was being used with that provider version.

Proposal

Create a version or meta package which contains the release version information. Ensure release process appropriately updates this information.

Once available, use that version information to output an informational log:

tfsdklog.Info(ctx, "terraform-plugin-go version: "+meta.SDKVersionString()))
