Thanks for creating this @platymatt , This is a solid enhancement, and not one that would be terribly difficult, I don't think. I'll mark it as My preferred solution would be that This also adds an additional wrinkle that the catalog TUI doesn't offer a way to select where scaffolding will take place once a user decides to scaffold. It might be good to add an extra keybinding that lets a user do that. It might require integrating or building something like yazi to let someone interact with their filesystem to create the destination for the unit. |

@platymatt You can achieve this currently by using boilerplate dependencies. There is then an issue with the fact that scaffold runs an (that also has an example boilerplate that should give you some idea on how that works) |

@tgeijg I tried something using your example and didn't get desired results yet. Maybe it's because I'm using a mono-repo with both terragrunt-live and modules within the same repository.

Describe the enhancement
When using
terragrunt scaffoldit creates the terragrunt.hcl in your working directory. I would like to be able to specify an output directory with a flag or variable. My goal is to place the terragrunt.hcl within my nested folder structure with the scaffold command.I have tried messing with the following boilerplate.yml below as well as adding a
before:section that would change my current directory to one provided by the variables or use anafter:section to move the produced file to the desired location and neither work.Additional context
Add any other context about the enhancement here.
Things you might want to address include:
Alternatives I may have to consider is running a
after:block with a script to create the directories and place the file where I want it to go. I haven't tried that yet. I've been looking for examples for this use case and haven't found any.PoC (Proof of Concept)
No PoC available at this time.
RFC Not Needed
boilerplatetool allows for an--output-folderflag and requires it, butterragrunt scaffolddoesn't allow the output-folder flag to be set.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
