Atlantis: tflint support?

[karl-tpio]

tflint is a rather useful linter / validator for TF that catches a few things that tf plan can't.

I'm wondering what integrating tflint into the atlantis slow might look like and what work would be required to do so. Is this a good idea? or is this just something that atlantis does not want to concern itsself with?

looking forward to feedback!

Hi, you can integrate tflint via a custom workflow: https://www.runatlantis.io/guide/atlantis-yaml-use-cases.html#running-custom-commands

For example:

version: 2
projects:
- dir: .
  workflow: tflint
workflows:
  tflint:
    plan:
      steps:
      - init
      - run: tflint
      - plan

Will that work?

@lkysow Yep, that's perfect. I didn't consider doing it this way, i was looking for a cli-arg to pass on server start up... which is not anywhere near the better way to do it.
