(tofu/terraform) init missing -var-file

[jpluijmers]

Describe the Bug

Any variables needed during terraform/tofu init are prompted at runtime even if they are specified and provided in the variables file by atmos.

Expected Behavior

I expect the vars file generated by atmos to be provided to the init command by the -var-file parameter which does run manually without issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create some component that uses for example variable interpolation in the module.source (https://opentofu.org/docs/language/modules/sources/#support-for-variable-and-local-evaluation)
2. try terraform plan

Environment

I do hope there is a workaround for this, its the major reason I'm considering moving to atmos/tofu.

EDIT: I'm no golang expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it does seem that including the var-file was either left out by design or the fix should be trivial?

This was resolved in: v1.167.0

• Update atmos.yaml config for Terraform/OpenTofu to enable passing the generated varfile to tofu init #1163 (comment)
