Terraform Versions

You can customize which version of Terraform Atlantis defaults to by setting the --default-tf-version flag (ex. --default-tf-version=v1.3.7).

Via `atlantis.yaml`

If you wish to use a different version than the default for a specific repo or project, you need to create an atlantis.yaml file and set the terraform_version key:

version: 3
projects:
- dir: .
  terraform_version: v1.1.5

See atlantis.yaml Use Cases for more details.

Alternatively, one can use the terraform configuration block's required_version key to specify an exact version (x.y.z or = x.y.z), or as of atlantis v0.21.0open in new window, a comparison or pessimistic version constraintopen in new window:

Exactly version 1.2.9

terraform {
  required_version = "= 1.2.9"
}

Any patch/tiny version of minor version 1.2 (1.2.z)

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.2.0"
}

Any minor version of major version 1 (1.y.z)

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.2"
}

Any version that is at least 1.2.0

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.2.0"
}

See Terraform required_versionopen in new window for reference.

NOTE

Atlantis will automatically download the latest version that fulfills the constraint specified. A terraform_version specified in the atlantis.yaml file takes precedence over both the --default-tf-version flag and the required_version in the terraform hcl.
