Terraform Test: Allow Setting Terraform Workspaces at run block level

[deepbrook]

Terraform Version

1.7.0

Use Cases

Our configuration uses a single backend with workspaces, one workspace per team, to deploy github teams and related resources.

Running these deployments in the same workspace causes various errors.

Attempted Solutions

Using separate provider instances did not help, as it does not run run blocks on separate workspaces.

Proposal

Allow setting the Terraform workspace at run block level.

Hey @deepbrook, I'd love to learn more about your use cases and workflow. Do you mind emailing me [email protected] and we can chat live about this?

I'd be really keen to see this feature too. We make extensive use of the workspace variable for composing various different values for things like resource naming as well as some boolean logic. It would be really handy to be able to set this per run rather than running the whole suite of tests per workspace.
