PSRule Terraform Support?

[jbla9028]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It appears that psrule can review a ARM or bicep template from the documentation. It seems like the only open to review terraform is to review the resources after the terraform code has applied the infrastructure. Can we get native terraform support?

Passing a target folder, along with variables, can psrule review a user's terraform code for compliance?

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are other solutions that will do this but psRule's syntax seems very easy to use, it would be great to leverage it with terraform.

@jbla9028 Thanks for the request.

PSRule can process terraform HCL when outputted as JSON. https://www.terraform.io/internals/json-format

However I think by this request you are more talking about support for testing Azure resources from HCL code with PSRule for Azure.

Is that correct?

@BernieWhite Thank you for the reply. Yes I am using PSRule for Azure. Would I am trying to conceptualize if I was to run these two commands (terraform plan against infrastructure that has NOT been provisioned) would I get the same checks with psrule?

Get-AzResource -ExpandProperties -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName

terraform plan out-tfplan.json

@jbla9028 OK thanks. No, terraform plan produces an output that is custom and different from the native Azure structure.

@jbla9028 I don't think this is going to be a quick implementation. In theory it would be awesome, but I can imagine there may be issues mapping the terraform providers.

I'm going to transfer this issue over to PSRule for Azure, for the moment.
