Overview of the Issue

Hi, i’m looking for workarounds or suggestions for this problem.

Currently i’m using atlantis with terragrunt as the documentation explains (https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/custom-workflows.html#terragrunt). And I’m having an issue using get_repo_root() terragrunt built-in fuction due to way that atlantis use a repository structure folder to execute a plan.

In my terragrunt file I am using the following terragrunt built-in-function get_repo_root() for my terraform remote state and resources. In my local this returns the git repository name (e.g, project-example) but when I am using atlantis this returns default.

The path of my terragrunt file in atlantis is /atlantis-data/repos/my-company/project-example/16/default/dev/ and the git root directory is located in the default directory because atlantis use a different way to clone the repository adding {$pull_request_number}+{$workflow} after the repository name

Is there any way that my git root directory have the same name as the repository or can I rename that default directory so i can keep using the built-in-function get_repo_root(). Maybe i can change the way in which atlantis clone the pull_requests events and just give something like that ’/atlantis-data/repos/my-company/project-example/dev/` ?

Currently i workarounded the issue using the following built-in-function {element(split("/" ,get_terragrunt_dir()),4)} and that returns me the repository name project-example.

But i want to hear for a better solutions

Reproduction Steps

Check that when atlantis "clones" a git repository the git root directory doesn't have the same name of the repository instead it is indeed default

for people still looking for a solution, I've added an ugly workaround here transcend-io/terragrunt-atlantis-config#258

This can be worked around by setting the workspace name to the name of the repository
