HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 146

Which command should you run to check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes?

Answer options

• A. terraform fmt -write=false
• B. terraform fmt -list -recursive
• C. terraform fmt -check -recursive
• D. terraform fmt -check

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as 'terraform fmt -check -recursive' checks the formatting of all code in the specified directory and its subdirectories without making any changes. Option A is incorrect because it uses '-write=false', which is not a valid flag for this command. Option B and D do not include the recursive check, limiting their effectiveness in verifying multiple modules.
