Expected Behavior

token set in PAGERDUTY_TOKEN environment variable should be used

Actual Behavior

Terraform complains about missing required argument token

Steps to Reproduce

Setup minimal terraform project using PagerDuty. Provide PAGERDUTY_TOKEN as environment variable as mentioned in documentation.

References

• token as an optional field #668

Is there any workaround available for this? It looks like this provider is unusable in GH Actions without this working.

[benlangfeld]

It looks like this is a usable workaround:

variable "pagerduty_token" {}

provider "pagerduty" {
  token = var.pagerduty_token
}

TF_VAR_pagerduty_token=foobar terraform plan ...

[carusooo]

The documentation seems to indicate that the token doesn't need to be passed in as plaintext, with no examples, support and it's broken right out of the box.

It can also be sourced from the PAGERDUTY_USER_TOKEN environment variable. See [API Documentation](https://developer.pagerduty.com/docs/ZG9jOjExMDI5NTUx-authentication) for more information.

Looks like this was fixed in #708. Setting PAGERDUTY_TOKEN works for me now.
