PePe Amengual · Answer

are you passing COMMENT ARGS to your custom workflow

Luiz Silva · Answer

No do you hava any documentation speaking about

Luiz Silva · Answer

my repos yaml

Luiz Silva · Answer

```repos id workflow terragrunt workflows terragrunt plan steps env name TERRAGRUNT TFPATH command echo terraform$ ATLANTIS TERRAFORM VERSION run terragrunt plan input=false out=$PLANFILE run terragrunt show json $PLANFILE gt $SHOWFILE apply steps env name TERRAGRUNT TFPATH command echo terraform$ ATLANTIS TERRAFORM VERSION run terragrunt apply input=false $PLANFILE```

PePe Amengual · Answer

```COMMENT ARGS Any additional flags passed in the comment on the pull request Flags are separated by commas and every character is escaped ex atlantis plan arg1 arg2 will result in COMMENT ARGS= a r g 1 a r g 2 ```

PePe Amengual · Answer

if you enable debug you should be able to see the command that is being executed

Luiz Silva · Answer

But atlantis dosen t have an extra arg for destroy should I put destroy in the plan arg

PePe Amengual · Answer

I do not know how terragunt works but if this supports ```terragrunt plan input=false out=$PLANFILE destroy``` then you need to pass the comment ARGS

PePe Amengual · Answer

atlantis does not have a `destroy` command

Luiz Silva · Answer

It works the same way as terraform

Luiz Silva · Answer

But every time that I run plan the destroy flag is going to run

PePe Amengual · Answer

no

PePe Amengual · Answer

those are passed in the comment

PePe Amengual · Answer

if you do not pass them it will be empty

PePe Amengual · Answer

that is why I said enable debug and look at the command is running when you add ` destroy`

PePe Amengual · Answer

and see if is passing it if is not you will need add the `COMMENT ARGS` to your custom workflow

Luiz Silva · Answer

``` level debug ts 2023 02 27T19 34 37 823Z caller models shell command runner go 93 msg starting terragrunt plan input=false out=$PLANFILE ```

Luiz Silva · Answer

only running this

PePe Amengual · Answer

and then is when you added the destroy flag

Luiz Silva · Answer

One question PePe the COMMENT ARGS goes in the workflow env the documentation is not very clear

PePe Amengual · Answer

Luiz Silva · Answer

This workaround currently works but I don t think it fits for the reality that I m into Anyway thanks for answering me

PePe Amengual · Answer

why it does not fit

Luiz Silva · Answer

Because we need to find de PR or change the file to run the delete command then push the code

PePe Amengual · Answer

change which file the Atlantis yaml

Luiz Silva · Answer

the terragrunt hcl file to create an Delete Pull Request

Luiz Silva · Answer

then merging to master

Luiz Silva · Answer

I think I will need some script to remove the files with a post workflow hook

PePe Amengual · Answer

I c ok I m not familiar with terragrunt but this in pure TF works fine

Luiz Silva · Answer

Sounds cool we re running a few tests with atlantis and terragrunt but the solution unlocked my work Thanks PePe anything you need feel free to reach me out slightly smiling face
