Basic autocomplete/hinting for terraform in Visual Studio Code

Terraform Autocomplete

WARNING! This is very beta, things might not work as expected so don't rely solely on this extension as a complete reference to terraform parameters and exported arguments. PRs welcome!

This extension provides basic autocomplete on AWS resources. Scraping functionality can be found at https://github.com/erd0s/terraform-scrape.

Requirements

Doesn't include any highlighting functionality or linting, will go well with Mikael Olenfalk's Terraform extension (but not required).

What Works?

Hinting on aws resource types

Hinting on resource arguments

Hinting on variables ${<hints here>.<more hints>.<wow! hints!>}

Go to definition for AWS resources

What Doesn't Work?

• Any other providers than AWS (could be added easily by adding to the aws-resources.ts file).
• Exporting attributes across files.
• Autocomplete on nested varibles, eg. aws_s3_bucket_notification.somename.queue.<can't complete past here>.

Known Issues

I found that having the advanced terraform snippets extension enabled at the same time as this obscured the hints in some instances.

Release Notes

Conflict with vscode-terraform

No completion of data types

data types does not complete in the same way resource would.

on osx, cmd key shortcut

This is more of a question than an issue; is there any way to disable the "cmd" shortcut that automatically opens the browser with the terraform documentation for the resource that the cursor is in in the editor?

Licesne Update

Hello, can a license be added to this repository?

AWS resource definition broken

The Extension opens for Example:
"https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/lb_target_group_attachment.html"
this leads to a "Page not found" Error. The correct link should be without the ".html" extension:
"https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/lb_target_group_attachment"

Please disable auto-launching browser on "Cmd" key press

Hello,

When I enable your VS Code plugin, I have to avoid having my cursor on a code block, for if I press the command key on Macs, the web browser is launched to the Terraform documentation for that code block (e.g. "aws_instance").

I would very much appreciate it if you would give us a way to disable that functionality or give us the ability to change this behavior to a control-click or command+click action.

Thank you!
Zan

Variables are not autocompleted

Would be great if variables and items from other files were suggested in completion.

Holding Ctrl on a Terraform Resource Name will sometimes open a browser

Highlight an AWS resource (e.g. aws_eip), hold control (4-10sec). A browser window will sometimes open as if you had hit F12.

Weird!

I looked at the code and couldnt find an obvious cause but figured I'd let you know!
