history

Project history and usage

tfproviderlint is a Go static-analysis toolkit and CLI for Terraform provider source code. It targets provider maintainers rather than Terraform module consumers, checking acceptance tests, resources, schemas, validation code, and other Plugin SDK patterns.

Project history

The project packages Terraform-provider-specific checks as Go analysis passes and command-line tools. Its README distinguishes `tfproviderlint`, which includes standard checks, from `tfproviderlintx`, which includes extra opt-in checks.

The documented check catalog shows the project evolving with the Terraform Plugin SDK: some checks were removed in later versions after upstream APIs changed or deprecated patterns became obsolete, while new checks cover resource, schema, validation, and acceptance-test conventions.

Adoption history

tfproviderlint has a longer provider-authoring niche than most tools in this batch. The README documents release binaries, Go installation, Docker usage, Homebrew installation from the maintainer tap, and a GitHub Action, which indicates use in local development and CI for Terraform provider repositories.

How it is used

Users run `tfproviderlint ./...` inside Terraform provider source trees, pass check flags to enable or disable analyzers, use `-fix` for checks with automated fixes, or invoke it through `go vet -vettool`. Docker and GitHub Action usage support CI workflows.

Why package nerds care

For package nerds, tfproviderlint is significant because it encodes project-specific provider-maintainer knowledge as installable tooling. It is both a command-line package and a Go library of analyzers, making it useful for custom lint tools and automated provider quality gates.
