Introduction

Terraform provider to configure Sonatype Nexus using it's API.

Implemented and tested with Sonatype Nexus 3.29.0-02.

Usage

Provider config

provider "nexus" {
  insecure = true
  password = "admin123"
  url      = "https://127.0.0.1:8080"
  username = "admin"
}

Build

There is a makefile to build the provider.

make

To build and install provider on macOS into ~/.terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64, you can run

make darwin-build-install

In this case provider will be available to use with your terraform codebase (in terraform init stage).

Testing

For testing start a local Docker containers using make

make start-services

This will start a Docker and MinIO containers and expose ports 8081 and 9000.

Now start the tests

NEXUS_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8081" NEXUS_USERNAME="admin" NEXUS_PASSWORD="admin123" AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="minioadmin" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="minioadmin" AWS_ENDPOINT="http://minio:9000" make testacc

or without S3 tests:

SKIP_S3_TESTS=1 NEXUS_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8081" NEXUS_USERNAME="admin" NEXUS_PASSWORD="admin123" make testacc

NOTE: To test Blobstore type S3 following environment variables must be set, otherwise tests will fail:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION the AWS region of the S3 bucket to use, defaults to eu-central-1,
• AWS_BUCKET_NAME the name of S3 bucket to use, defaults to terraform-provider-nexus-s3-test.

Optionally you can set AWS_ENDPOINT to point an alternative S3 endpoint.

To debug tests

Set env variable TF_LOG=DEBUG to see additional output.

Use printState() function to discover terraform state (and resource props) during test.

Debug configurations are also available for VS Code.

Create documentation

To generate the terraform documentation from go files, you can run

make docs
