[Feature request] Allow planning multiple dirs at once

[richstokes]

It would be really helpful if you could do e.g.

atlantis plan -d terraform/prod -d terraform/staging to plan multiple directories at the same time.

This assumes the scenario in which each dir has its own backend/state, so theres no reason why both couldn't be planned in parallel.

Thanks!

FWIW I've been able to make this work with multiple comments. Each comment calls out a different directory with it's own state/backend. You just have to make sure that you don't create the comments too soon after the previous comment, I wait about 3-5 seconds between comments. This will result in multiple plans being generated at the same time. It's a little tedious and causes comment spam for anyone following the PR but it works.

you can do this at the project level. if you have a project per dir ( autogenerated atlantis.yaml) you can plan using regex.

Having this feature will be super helpful!

@ShradhaKhard you can do this now, set --enable-regexp-cmd on atlantis, and use a regular expression to filter.

atlantis plan -p .*(dev|prod).*

This may be a duplicate of https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/issues/686 and https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/issues/2757. Closing for now to consolidate discussion in 686

[laertis]

Bumping on this a couple of years later as I don't think it's a duplicate of #686 or #2757

The issue refers to the ability to write a a comment of the form atlantis plan -d stateDir1 -d stateDir2 in github/gitlab/etc that the webhook url recognizes and parses properly into planning multiple directories

I believe this serves a different purpose than the atlantis.yml configuration and it adds some value

I agree with @laertis, the directories may not follow a wildcard-compatible naming scheme. either multiple -d arguments, or a version of the argument that can accept a list, e.g. -d [dir_1, dir_2, some_other_dir]
