Preamble

The original tfmv tool: kozzztya/tf-state-mover.

The original fix for Terraform version >= 0.12.0: seboudry/tf-state-mover

My fork extends the tool functionality to provide additional options and upgrade interaction with CLI interface. Check the CHANGELOG.md for details about current features and TODO.md for the future enhancements.

Terraform state move helper

Interactive CLI for moving resources in a Terraform state.

Motivation

Sometimes you need to refactor your config. Move resources to the separate module, rename a resource, etc. Terraform will plan to recreate resources in this case. You can use command terraform state mv to prevent this. But it can be pretty routine. This tool helps you easily do this. Just select from the list source resource, then destination, press enter, repeat.

Installation

I don't have the access to the original [npm project repository](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tfmv?activeTab=readme, so we need to build the tool from source code.

Install as a global binary

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/VolodymyrSmahliuk/tf-state-mover.git

2. Build the application package from source code by npm

npm pack

3. Install the application from the package created on the previous step

npm install --global tfmv-<app-version>.tgz

Run from the repo as a script

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/VolodymyrSmahliuk/tf-state-mover.git

2. Install required packages

npm install

3. Run the index.js from the root module of your Terraform code

node <path-to-this-repo>/index.js

Usage

Run state move for the whole Terraform code

tfmv

Or use -target option

tfmv -target=module.meaningful_name -target=module.meaningful_name_new
