### Building from sources
### Local development of the provider

```shell
export tf_arch=darwin_arm64
export tf_one_version=0.0.1
To develop and use this provider locally, you can leverage the [`dev_override`](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file#development-overrides-for-provider-developers) feature of the terraform CLI.
To do so, create a `$HOME/.terraformrc` file if it doesn't exist yet (see the [`terraform` CLI documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file#locations) for different consideration for Windows systems) with the following content:

# Clone terraform-provider-opennebula
git clone [email protected]:OpenNebula/terraform-provider-opennebula.git

# Create directory under Terraform plugins directory
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.terraform.d/plugins/one.test/one/opennebula/${tf_one_version}/${tf_arch}

# Create a link to the Provider binary
ln -s $(pwd)/terraform-provider-opennebula/terraform-provider-opennebula ${HOME}/.terraform.d/plugins/one.test/one/opennebula/${tf_one_version}/${tf_arch}
```hcl
provider_installation {
dev_overrides {
"OpenNebula/opennebula" = "[LOCAL_PATH_TO_THIS_REPO]"
}
direct {}
}
```

# Build the Provider
cd terraform-provider-opennebula
go build
This configuration will not apply any change for `terraform init` or your `.terraform.lock.hcl`. From the Terraform documentation:
```text
With development overrides in effect, the terraform init command will still attempt to select a suitable published
version of your provider to install and record in the dependency lock file for future use, but other commands like
terraform apply will disregard the lock file's entry and will use the given directory instead.
```

Now you can create a new `main.tf` file:
This configuration will check for the `terraform-provider-opennebula` binary at the given directory. You can generate it using `make build`

Example:
```hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
opennebula = {
source = "one.test/one/opennebula"
source = "OpenNebula/opennebula" # use the real provider as source
version = "1.4.0"
}
}
}

During the `terraform init`, the provider should be initialized as `unauthenticated`:

```text

Terraform has created a lock file .terraform.lock.hcl to record the provider
selections it made above. Include this file in your version control repository
so that Terraform can guarantee to make the same selections by default when
you run "terraform init" in the future.
Terraform has been successfully initialized!
You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.
If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
Applying changes for the above simple terraform module shows the override in action:
```txt
$> terraform apply
│ Warning: Provider development overrides are in effect
│ The following provider development overrides are set in the CLI configuration:
│ - opennebula/opennebula in [LOCAL_PATH_TO_THIS_REPO]
│ The behavior may therefore not match any released version of the provider and applying changes may cause the state to become incompatible with published releases.

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.
Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
