Run Acceptance Tests Agent Skill
Guide for running acceptance tests for a Terraform provider. Use this when asked to run an acceptance test or to run a test with the prefix `TestAcc`.

one command, takes just this skill from the repositorynpx skills add https://github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills --skill run-acceptance-testsThe instruction itself
as written by the authorAn acceptance test is a Go test function with the prefix TestAcc.
To run a focussed acceptance test named TestAccFeatureHappyPath:
- Run
go test -run=TestAccFeatureHappyPathwith the following environment
variables:
TF_ACC=1
Default to non-verbose test output.
- The acceptance tests may require additional environment variables for
specific providers. If the test output indicates missing environment
variables, then suggest how to set up these environment variables securely.
To diagnose a failing acceptance test, use these options, in order. These
options are cumulative: each option includes all the options above it.
- Run the test again. Use the
-count=1option to ensure thatgo testdoes
not use a cached result.
- Offer verbose
go testoutput. Use the-voption. - Offer debug-level logging. Enable debug-level logging with the environment
variable TF_LOG=debug.
- Offer to persist the acceptance test's Terraform workspace. Enable
persistance with the environment variable TF_ACC_WORKING_DIR_PERSIST=1.
A passing acceptance test may be a false negative. To "flip" a passing
acceptance test named TestAccFeatureHappyPath:
- Edit the value of one of the TestCheckFuncs in one of the TestSteps in the
TestCase.
- Run the acceptance test. Expect the test to fail.
- If the test fails, then undo the edit and report a successful flip. Else,
keep the edit and report an unsuccessful flip.

> Suggests using Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP) hot reload to iterate fixes on failing tests without rebuilding. Use when user says "hot reload tests", "iterate on test fix", "run tests without rebuilding", "speed up test loop", "fix test faster", or needs to set up MTP hot reload to rapidly iterate on test failures. Covers setup (NuGet package, environment variable, launchSettings.json) and the iterative workflow for fixing tests. normally with dotnet test (use run-tests), applying test filters, producing TRX reports, CI/CD pipeline configuration, or Visual Studio Test Explorer hot reload (which is a different feature).
