• Manages installation and updates of the Terraform Language Server (terraform-ls), exposing its features:
  • Initialized provider completion (resource names, data source names, attribute names)
• Includes syntax highlighting for .tf and .tfvars files (and .hcl) -- including all syntax changes new to Terraform 0.12
• Closes braces and quotes
• Includes for_each and variable syntax shortcuts (fore, vare, varm)

Release History

v2.0.0 is the first official release from HashiCorp, prior releases were by Mikael Olenfalk.

The 2.0.0 release integrates a new Language Server package from HashiCorp. The extension will install and upgrade terraform-ls to continue to add new functionality around code completion and formatting. See the terraform-ls CHANGELOG for details.

In addition, this new version brings the syntax highlighting up to date with all HCL2 features, as needed for Terraform 0.12 and above.

See the CHANGELOG for more information.
