Force Plan/Apply

[lorenzoaiello]

It would be great if we had the ability to "force" a plan and/or apply to bypass the following error:

"Plan Failed: No Terraform files were modified."

The use case in our case, is we store userdata files, and policy statements as flat files using the terraform file function, so despite there being changes in those files, Atlantis won't re-run without adding a whitespace or some other irrelevant change to the TF stack.

[nipr-jdoenges]

What about an atlantis.yaml option where you could specify a filter for other files to treat as terraform changes?

[lkysow]

@lorenzoaiello you can use atlantis plan -d {dir} -w {workspace} to force a plan
@nipr-jdoenges in the upcoming release you'll be able to configure which file changes cause Atlantis to run plan automatically!

Closing since this is available in the latest relesase with atlantis plan -d {dir}
