Tool not working on windows
I have built tfmigrate from source for windows.
However, I receive:
failed to run command (exited 1): terraform state mv -state=C:\Users\i016249\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3995434150 -state-out=C:\Users\i016249\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3354553505 -backup=/dev/null module.network.data.aws_availability_zones.available module.network.data.aws_availability_zones.available
stdout:
Move "module.network.data.aws_availability_zones.available" to "module.network.data.aws_availability_zones.available"
stderr:
Error saving the state: failed to create local state backup file: open /dev/null: The system cannot find the path specified.
The state was not saved. No items were removed from the persisted
state. No backup was created since no modification occurred. Please
resolve the issue above and try again.
How can I make it work for windows as it does not have /dev/null ?
Hi @Olgoetz, Thank you for reporting this!
The current implementation specifies /dev/null directly, but the os.DevNull constant points to the NUL device on Windows. I don't have a Windows device for testing; would it be possible for you to try it? If you are not familiar to Go, please let me know.

I just cloned the repo and encountering now this:

It's maybe related to https://github.com/minamijoyo/tfmigrate/issues/45. The tfmigrate doesn't work with the local backend. It requires a remote state backend.
