Building the plugin

Clone the repository locally and run the following command:

make

You can easily install the built plugin with the following:

make install

You can run the built plugin like the following:

cat << EOF > .tflint.hcl
config {
  plugin_dir = "~/.tflint.d/plugins"
}

plugin "sheldon" {
  enabled = true
}
EOF

tflint

Some of the resources come with their key-attributes pre-defined. However, their set is far from being exhaustive (and will never be). To define the key-attributes for a resource/data blocks (so that key_attributes rule picks them up) add them to in .tflint.hcl like follows:

plugin "sheldon" {
  enabled = true

  resource "kubernetes_deployment" {
    key_attributes = ["metadata.namespace", "metadata.name"]
  }
}
