Add args to github action

[JafoFett]

I'm trying to add a tfvars file to the github action but can't seem to get it to work, any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have:

jobs:

tfsec:
name: tfsec
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Terraform security scan
uses: triat/[email protected]
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
with:
args: --tfvars-file dev.tfvars

Which results in:
Warning: A tfvars file was found but not automatically used.
Did you mean to specify the --tf-vars flag?

And, I have replaced --tfvars-file with --tf-vars but still didn't work.

Notice that tfsec and Terraform Security Scan (for Github actions) accept different args.

Where are we with the GitHub action, arguments, documentation and CodeScan integration? We would love to use this but I can't get it working.

Thanks!

This is working for us, but when I do use it with Terraform Workspaces (cli not cloud) I need to specify the .tfvars file...the documentation mentions no arguments, I had to run it a few times to actually see I could use 'args' with the 'with' statement.

Hello @JafoFett,

As @SandyChoWealthsimple has explained, this is a different tool. Not all the commands are the same. I can definitively see your need and we could add this parameter to the list of Terraform security scan.

As I'm moving flat right now, I won't be able to do it this week, but I'll try to do it this weekend or next week.

@kwatson-rms Could you open a new issue? I have the feeling that you have a different problem with the action and I'd be happy to help you set it up. Thanks

Hoping to learn the answer here as well. How do you get around the A tfvars file was found but not automatically used. warning?
