[Question] missing build for Darwin Arm64

[sigua-cs]

Hello,
There is a missing build for Darwin Arm64 in releases, even though it's included in the goreleaser configuration.

The error message:
Provider registry.terraform.io/rhythmictech/errorcheck v3.0.0 does not have a package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64.

Any chance to investigate it?

It's possible to do checks without creating a custom provider now. Will https://github.com/rhythmictech/terraform-terraform-errorcheck work?

The errorcheck module is generally going to be better than the provider, but I think all that may need to happen is to run a new build. I don't think darwin_arm64 existed yet when the last release was cut.

If you cannot migrate all "errorcheck" resources from the provider to the module, as in my case because I have more than 1000 module instances using this provider, you can compile your version for Darwin ARM64 by following these steps:

1. Clone the project repository.
2. Checkout the desired version tag.
3. Modify the dependencies in provider.go.

import (
-  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform/helper/schema"
+  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/helper/schema"
)

4. Modify the dependencies in main.go.

import (
-  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform/plugin"
-  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform/terraform"
+  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/plugin"
+  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/terraform"
)

5. Modify resource_isValid.go.

import (
   "fmt"
   "strconv"

-  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform/helper/schema"
+  "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/helper/schema"
 )

7. Compile following the documentation at https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/writing-custom-terraform-providers.

$ go build -o terraform-provider-errorcheck

Once you have the provider compiled for Darwin ARM64, you need to instruct Terraform to look for this provider on the local disk instead of registry.terraform.io. To do this, follow these steps (+ Doc):

1. Create the ~/.terraformrc file in the user's home directory and add this configuration. Replace <username> with the correct username.

provider_installation {
  filesystem_mirror {
    path    = "/Users/<username>/.terraform.d/plugins"
    include = ["registry.terraform.io/rhythmictech/errorcheck"]
  }
  direct {
    exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/rhythmictech/errorcheck"]
  }
}

2. Create the directory ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/rhythmictech/errorcheck/X.Y.Z/darwin_arm64, where X.Y.Z is the provider's version.
3. Copy the compiled binary from the previous steps into the darwin_arm64 directory.
4. Add the suffix _vX.Y.Z to the binary, where X.Y.Z is the provider's version.

mv terraform-provider-errorcheck terraform-provider-errorcheck_v3.0.0

With these steps, you can use the locally compiled rhythmictech/errorcheck provider for Darwin ARM64.

Enjoy!
