[@kykel4948]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! This really helped. Yours was the most comprehensive explanation I've seen so far and just you breaking down the code of the gitlab-ci file line by line in your review was incredibly helpful. So many tutorials I've watched skim over the important details and skip steps or just fail to elaborate on what their code is doing, which contributes to the confusion. My only confusion and question is about your destroy job. How did your destroy job run without a state declared? When I tried to run mine, it would "succeed" but only as a false positive. The destroy job wasn't finding the terraform state from the previous jobs and thinking there were 0 things to destroy. I had to troubleshoot and eventually added the state as an artifact in the apply job which resolved my issues. Liked, Subscribed and even bookmarked this particular tutorial!

[@karthickmuthiah7241]

Hi, can you please share the steps of how you added the state as an artifact in yaml file

[@kykel4948]

@@karthickmuthiah7241 When you write your stages out you need to simply add an artifact path. Each stage of your CI/CD pipeline is going to stand up a new runner container so the runner in your apply stage and destroy stage won't have the terraform state file from the plan stage unless you declare it as an artifact to pass to the next stage. Like this: stages: - validate #simply validate that terraform is available - plan #create your plan file and state - apply #run your terraform apply - destroy #tear down your state build Example code: plan: stage: plan script: - terraform plan -state=$STATE -out="planfile" artifacts: paths: - planfile - state # This artifacts path variable will pass $STATE created in the script command to the next (apply) stage. Each stage will need to continue to pass the artifact. So, if you create a state in the plan stage you'll need to declare it as an artifact for apply to have access to it. If you have additional stages (such as destroy used here) then you would also have to declare it as an artifact in your apply stage to ensure that it continues to pass on into your destroy stage. Otherwise, your destroy won't be able to tear down the build from the apply stage as it no longer has that state file. Hope this helps.

apply: stage: apply script: - terraform apply -input=false "planfile" dependencies: - plan the dependencies is not needed since apply and plan are in different stage so if plan stage failed the following stages will fail too if we put the plan and apply in the same stage then we need to add the dependecies line

[@BrandanKing]

Great tutorial! If I am using Windows where do I find where my binaries and dependencies are when defining them (entrypoint) in the gitlab.ci.yml file?

[@wassellaouini]

nice video man, i have a question, why didnt you define any triggers? or is the gitlab CI runs automatically when you push on the main branch by default?

[@anthonyosunde2129]

yes it does once theres a code change to main

[@harshshah4477]

It is a good project to automate the IAC though how can we configure the automation of the BE & FE codebase as well? So that whenever I commit any changes in my code base automation directly updates the code in EC2.

Excellent video Nasi, it helped me a lot!

Is there another video about it or could you explain it to me here? Thank you very much!

Hi Nasi, i am almost there. But getting state lock error in the destroy stage. Not very sure how i can pass -lock=false for this stage manually. This work fine manually i can run this. Now im running the full pipeline and it started failing in the plan job itself saying state lock. Any leads please?

[@cloudchamp]

You can manually release the lock using terraform force-unlock command with the lock Id. -lock=false is not recommended in production environments where you have multiple people working together Let me know if still facing issue.

[@yogendrahj9365]

@@cloudchamp yes force-unlock is my first choice but silly thing is i am unable to find the lockid either in the error or state file. Below is the error i get if i run plan and cant see lock id. "Error: Error acquiring the state lock │ │ Error message: 2 errors occurred: │ * ResourceNotFoundException: Requested resource not found │ * ResourceNotFoundException: Requested resource not found │ │ │ │ Terraform acquires a state lock to protect the state from being written │ by multiple users at the same time.
