Proton: proton.auto.tfvars.json not being created?

Question

I'm trying to use Proton using the (relatively new) Terraform self provisioning functionality. Everything works like I would expect it to, and I do get a PR from the repo functionality. The only oddity is that I do not get a proton.auto.tfvars.json file generated in the PR - but I do get all the other expected files. What would cause that file to not be generated?

Answer

- No Variables in Configuration: If your Terraform configuration does not contain any variables, then Terraform will not generate a proton.auto.tfvars.json file.

- No Default Values: If your Terraform configuration contains variables, but none of them have default values, then Terraform may not generate a proton.auto.tfvars.json file.

- Terraform Version: The generation of the proton.auto.tfvars.json file is a feature that was added in a recent version of Terraform. If you're using an older version of Terraform, it may not support this feature.

- Proton Configuration: There might be some configuration in Proton that is preventing the generation of the proton.auto.tfvars.json file.
