Terraform Format Extension

This VS Code extension automatically formats Terraform files when you save them, using the terraform fmt command.

Features

• Automatically formats .tf and .tfvars files on save
• Uses the official terraform fmt command for formatting
• Shows detailed error messages for invalid HCL syntax
• Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.60.0 or higher
• Terraform CLI installed and available in your system PATH

Extension Settings

This extension doesn't require any additional settings.

Known Issues

• The terraform CLI must be installed and accessible in your system PATH
• Formatting may take a moment on larger files
• You might see a warning about "No view is registered with id: terraform.cloud.run.apply" - this can be safely ignored as it's related to the official HashiCorp Terraform extension, not this formatting extension
