Hey folks — Is there dependencies to running make readme/build
?
I’m getting this regarding gomplate
— and trying make go/install
didn’t do the trick either.

Try make readme/init

Then run make readme/rebuild
2020-03-11

terraform-aws-ecs-codepipeline (branch:master) » make readme/init
README.yaml already exists!
terraform-aws-ecs-codepipeline (branch:master) » make readme/rebuild
make[1]: ** No rule to make target `readme/rebuild’. Stop.
make: ** [readme/rebuild] Error 2
terraform-aws-ecs-codepipeline (branch:master) » make readme/build
Package terraform-docs already installed
make: gomplate: No such file or directory
make: ** [readme/build] Error 1

Ah! Misspoke. Try: make readme/deps

Ah good stuff @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) — that did the trick I believe. I also did a manual brew install gomplate
prior to running readme/deps, but either way I think they were doing the same thing.
Side note — readme/deps
doesn’t come up when doing a make help
. Probably a bug?

Ya…. it’s been affecting a lot of contributors too

gotta get this fixed

Hey Erik, any more gotchas I should look out for here. I have attempting make readme/deps
and make readme/build
and I get the same error as @Matt Gowie
I have even tried on older repos where I have contributed and was able to update the README. I’ll keep looking but was wondering if I am missing a step

Oh, don’t worry any more about updating it

we can update it using our github action.

thanks though!

just ping @Maxim Mironenko (Cloud Posse) when the PR is ready (though he is on vacation this week)

Curious, what are you using now? I was generating a new module and was looking to use a similar pattern

Oh we’re still using it!


make readme
will never go away!

it’s just now we have a github action that calls it for us when we run /rebuild-readme

Very nice! I got it working on myside as well. Had to install gomplate; thought I had it installed locally already.
