GitHub Action: atmos-terraform-select-components

GitHub Action that outputs list of Atmos components by jq query

Introduction

GitHub Action that outputs list of Atmos components by jq query.

For example following query will fetch components that have in settings set github.actions_enabled: true:

.value.settings.github.actions_enabled // false

Output of this action is a list of basic component information. For example:

[
{
"stack": "plat-ue2-sandbox",
"component": "test-component-01",
"stack_slug": "plat-ue2-sandbox-test-component-01",
"component_path": "components/terraform/s3-bucket"
}
]

Usage

Config

The action expects the atmos configuration file atmos.yaml to be present in the repository. The config should have the following structure:

integrations:
github:
gitops:
opentofu-version: 1.7.3
terraform-version: 1.5.2
infracost-enabled: false
artifact-storage:
region: us-east-2
bucket: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
table: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-plan-storage
role: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:role/cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-gha
role:
plan: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
apply: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
matrix:
sort-by: .stack_slug
group-by: .stack_slug | split("-") | [.[0], .[2]] | join("-")
important

Please note! This GitHub Action only works with atmos >= 1.63.0. If you are using atmos < 1.63.0 please use v1 version of this action.

Support OpenTofu

This action supports OpenTofu.

important

Please note! OpenTofu supported by Atmos >= 1.73.0. For details read

To enable OpenTofu add the following settings to atmos.yaml

  • Set the opentofu-version in the atmos.yaml to the desired version
  • Set components.terraform.command to tofu

Example


components:
terraform:
command: tofu

...

integrations:
github:
gitops:
opentofu-version: 1.7.3
...

GitHub Actions Workflow Example

In following GitHub workflow example first job will filter components that have settings github.actions_enabled: true and then in following job stack_slug will be printed to stdout.

  jobs:
selected-components:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Select Components
outputs:
matrix: ${{ steps.components.outputs.matrix }}
steps:
- name: Selected Components
id: components
uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components@v2
with:
atmos-config-path: "${{ github.workspace }}/rootfs/usr/local/etc/atmos/"
jq-query: 'to_entries[] | .key as $parent | .value.components.terraform | to_entries[] | select(.value.settings.github.actions_enabled // false) | [$parent, .key] | join(",")'

print-stack-slug:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs:
- selected-components
if: ${{ needs.selected-components.outputs.matrix != '{"include":[]}' }}
strategy:
matrix: ${{ fromJson(needs.selected-components.outputs.matrix) }}
name: ${{ matrix.stack_slug }}
steps:
- name: echo
run:
echo "${{ matrix.stack_slug }}"

Migrating from v1 to v2

The notable changes in v2 are:

  • v2 works only with atmos >= 1.63.0
  • v2 drops install-terraform input because terraform is not required for affected stacks call
  • v2 drops atmos-gitops-config-path input and the ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml config file. Now you have to use GitHub Actions environment variables to specify the location of the atmos.yaml.

The following configuration fields now moved to GitHub action inputs with the same names

name
atmos-version
atmos-config-path

The following configuration fields moved to the atmos.yaml configuration file.

nameYAML path in atmos.yaml
aws-regionintegrations.github.gitops.artifact-storage.region
terraform-state-bucketintegrations.github.gitops.artifact-storage.bucket
terraform-state-tableintegrations.github.gitops.artifact-storage.table

sort-byintegrations.github.gitops.matrix.sort-by
group-byintegrations.github.gitops.matrix.group-by

For example, to migrate from v1 to v2, you should have something similar to the following in your atmos.yaml:

./.github/config/atmos.yaml

# ... your existing configuration

integrations:
github:
gitops:
terraform-version: 1.5.2
infracost-enabled: false
artifact-storage:
region: us-east-2
bucket: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
table: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-plan-storage
role: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:role/cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-gha
role:
plan: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
apply: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
matrix:
sort-by: .stack_slug
group-by: .stack_slug | split("-") | [.[0], .[2]] | join("-")

.github/workflows/main.yaml

- name: Selected Components
id: components
uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components@v2
with:
atmos-config-path: ./rootfs/usr/local/etc/atmos/
jq-query: 'to_entries[] | .key as $parent | .value.components.terraform | to_entries[] | select(.value.settings.github.actions_enabled // false) | [$parent, .key] | join(",")'

This corresponds to the v1 configuration (deprecated) below.

The v1 configuration file ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml looked like this:

atmos-version: 1.45.3
atmos-config-path: ./rootfs/usr/local/etc/atmos/
terraform-state-bucket: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
terraform-state-table: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
terraform-state-role: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:role/cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-gha
terraform-plan-role: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
terraform-apply-role: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
terraform-version: 1.5.2
aws-region: us-east-2
enable-infracost: false
sort-by: .stack_slug
group-by: .stack_slug | split("-") | [.[0], .[2]] | join("-")

And the v1 GitHub Action Workflow looked like this.

.github/workflows/main.yaml

- name: Selected Components
id: components
uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components@v1
with:
atmos-gitops-config-path: ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml
jq-query: 'to_entries[] | .key as $parent | .value.components.terraform | to_entries[] | select(.value.settings.github.actions_enabled // false) | [$parent, .key] | join(",")'

Migrating from v0 to v1

  1. v1 replaces the jq-query input parameter with a new parameter called selected-filter to simplify the query for end-users. Now you need to specify only the part used inside of the select(...) function of the jq-query.

2.v1 moves most of the inputs to the Atmos GitOps config path ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml. Simply create this file, transfer your settings to it, then remove the corresponding arguments from your invocations of the cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components action.

name
atmos-version
atmos-config-path

If you want the same behavior in v2 as in v1 you should create config ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml with the same variables as in v0 inputs.

  - name: Selected Components
id: components
uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components@v1
with:
atmos-gitops-config-path: ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml
select-filter: '.settings.github.actions_enabled // false'

Which would produce the same behavior as in v2, doing this:

  - name: Selected Components
id: components
uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-select-components@v0
with:
atmos-config-path: "${{ github.workspace }}/rootfs/usr/local/etc/atmos/"
jq-query: 'to_entries[] | .key as $parent | .value.components.terraform | to_entries[] | select(.value.settings.github.actions_enabled // false) | [$parent, .key] | join(",")'

Please note that the atmos-gitops-config-path is not the same file as the atmos-config-path.
