Terragrunt – dynamically add TF and TG versions to AWS default tags – Amazon web services

I have a default tags block and would like to add new tags showing the TG and TF versions used in deployment.

I assumed this would work, but I was wrong..

locals {
  terraform_version      = "${run_cmd("terraform --version")}"
  terragrunt_version     = "${run_cmd("terragrunt --version")}"
}

provider "aws" {
  default_tags {
    tags = {
      terraform_version  = local.terraform_version
      terragrunt_version = local.terragrunt_version

      }
    }
  }

I’m sure there’s a simple way to do this, but it alludes me.

Here’s the error message:

my-mac$ terragrunt apply
ERRO[0000] Error: Error in function call

    Building on jordanm's good work, I found the TG version was good but I needed to remove some verbosity in the TF output for it to be usable as an aws tag.

    locals {
  terraform_version      = "${run_cmd("/bin/bash", "-c", terraform --version | sed 1q")}"
  terragrunt_version     = "${run_cmd("terragrunt", "--version")}"
}

    Good work everybody!

    The run_cmd function uses separate parameters for the command to run and the args to pass. Your example tries to run the command "terraform --version" and not terraform --version. You should update your code like the following:

    locals {
  terraform_version      = "${run_cmd("terraform", "--version")}"
  terragrunt_version     = "${run_cmd("terragrunt", "--version")}"
}
