MONDOO_API_TOKEN, MONDOO_CONFIG_PATH or MONDOO_CONFIG_BASE64 need to be set

[GurdipS5]

What is not working as you expected it?
I am trying to run Terraform for the Mondoo provider on Windows 11. I have setup cnspec and there is a config file in C:\programdata\Mondoo. I created the relevant tokens in the portal. My provider looks like below:

`terraform {
required_providers {
mondoo = {
source = "mondoohq/mondoo"
}
}
}

provider "mondoo" {
region = "eu" # use "eu" for the European region
credentials = "C:\programdata\Mondoo\mondoo.yml"
}`

The error is:

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

╷
│ Error: MONDOO_API_TOKEN, MONDOO_CONFIG_PATH or MONDOO_CONFIG_BASE64 need to be set

│ on provider.tf line 9, in provider "mondoo":
│ 9: provider "mondoo" {
│
│ MONDOO_API_TOKEN, MONDOO_CONFIG_PATH or MONDOO_CONFIG_BASE64 need to be set

Where on the platform does it happen?
Local

How do we replicate the issue?
Replicate terraform

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)
Successful plan.

@GurdipS5 Thank you for the report. At this point we do not support setting the service account via the provider config. You just need to set the variable with the credential path then:

export MONDOO_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/your/serviceaccount/youthful-meitner-435985.json

on Windows you would set it via:

$Env:MONDOO_CONFIG_PATH = "C:\programdata\Mondoo\mondoo.yml"

I'll mark your issue as an enhancement since I like the way to configure the credential path via terraform.

Hi @GurdipS5, thank you for reporting this.
This has been fixed with the latest (0.14.0) release. Do note the credentials is no longer the path, but the JSON service account (the contents of the file) directly. I have opened #124 as a follow-up request to also support injecting the mondoo creds via a path.
