HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 301

Running terraform fmt without any flags in a directory with Terraform configuration files will check the formatting of those files without changing their contents.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as running terraform fmt indeed formats the configuration files and changes their contents if any formatting issues are found. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that no changes occur, which is not true when the formatting is incorrect.
