Addressing Resource Visibility and Pagination Issues

[osterman]

what

We would like to help improve pipeform.

• Pipeform can't show the detail of resources from TUI
• When terraform plan -json | pipeform finishes, the last page doesn't show any resources
• We would like to refactor portions of the code into a public package from internal/

We would like your input @magodo before we begin.

@suzuki-shunsuke will help with this work.

why

• We are planning the work to integrate pipeform natively into atmos
• We identified a couple of rough edges we would like to help fix

@osterman Thank you for reaching out! For the points you've raised here:

• Assuming you were taking about the change detail for each resource. Per the machine readable UI document: This message does not include details about the exact changes which caused the change to be planned. That information is available in the JSON plan output.. Based on Implement pipeform for Terraform Operations cloudposse/atmos#926 (comment), I think you already have the solution for your use case. Whilst this won't be available to this tool by design
• Since this stage (plan) is pretty quick, no matter from the terraform plan command or as a part of terraform apply, I didn't implement a view for displaying plan details at the moment. While I can consider implementing this part, by offering a table like view that each line represents a planned change.
• A detailed issue describing the needs is welcome

That said, I'll start looking into printing something in the plan phase.
