Debugging the OpenTofu code

There are various ways to debug the OpenTofu code. There is no ultimate "right" answer, this document intends to collect some of those ways. The order of debugging techniques is completely random.

If you would like to contribute to this debugging guide, please create a GitHub issue and propose the enhancement. After that, you can create a pull request and reference this issue in your PR.

For further information on contributing to the code, please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Using the debug-opentofu script

debug-opentofu is a helper script to launch OpenTofu inside the "dlv" debugger, configured to await a remote debugging connection on port 2345. For more details on how to use this script, please refer to the documentation at the beginning of this script.

Using spew

Go-spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in debugging. If you prefer to use println debugging, spew.Dump might be helpful.

For more documentation on how to use spew, you can visit the spew GoDoc site.

Using VsCode

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) features native debugging support with the Go extension.

An example .vscode/launch.json configuration file that implements tofu init and tofu plan:
