Tf Path

1.0.3893 B
Original Source

Specifies the path to the OpenTofu/Terraform binary that Terragrunt should use. By default, Terragrunt will look for a binary named tofu in your system's PATH.

This is useful when:

  • You have multiple versions of OpenTofu/Terraform installed.
  • The binary is not in your PATH.
  • You want to use a specific version for certain operations.
  • You want to switch between OpenTofu and Terraform binaries.

Example:

bash
terragrunt run plan --tf-path=/usr/local/bin/tofu

Note that if you only have terraform installed, and it is available in your PATH, Terragrunt will automatically use that binary.

NOTE: This will override the terraform binary that is used by terragrunt in all instances, including dependency lookups. This setting will also override any terraform_binary configuration values specified in the terragrunt.hcl config for both the top level, and dependency lookups.
