"Astroturfing"... lol OK. I don't think I've ever made it a secret that I worked for HashiCorp in the early days (leaving in 2017), and have been critical to the point of being banned by the CEO from speaking at HashiConf.

Saying "Terraform doesn't have a test suite" is not miscommunication, it is misinformation, plain and simple - the same as most of the other things I have been correcting this week (not least from the same poster in this thread - someone who's clearly has an axe to grind).

You and the OP are referring to different things. Terraform the codebase has a test suite. Terraform the app does not have a test suite/runner as in a way to run tests against your Terraform files.

It doesn’t have a testing tool built in. No one legitimately understands the phrase “terraform doesn’t have a test suite” to mean anything except “there are no tests”. A runner and a suite are quite different.

I can understand the miscommunication in the first post, but I clarified in a direct comment to you what I meant. I was even comparing it to Terratest, which is not used for testing terraform core. At this point you're just being belligerent for the sake of being belligerent.
