The idea for this problem came to me when I switched from Ubuntu to MacBook M1. I have tried to run my terraform plan as usual, but this time I got the error that template provider cannot be run on MacBook M1. After some time put in troubleshooting, I found out that the template provider was deprecated a long time ago 😅. This gave me the idea to write a Go program that will get all used terraform providers by executing terraform providers command and then checking on the page of the terraform docs if it has a label that states that terraform provider has expired. To be able to run this in CI, the pipeline code exits with 1 status code if a deprecated terraform provider has been found.
You can find the code here
This Go program is using rod for web browser
When you run a pipeline that tests if terraform provider is deprecated and it finds one or more deprecated terraform provider/s, it will look like this:
