Feature Request - harness_platform_file_store_file Content Input

[gallowaystorm]

Hi there,

Thank you for opening an issue. Please note that we try to keep the Terraform issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests. For general usage questions, please see: https://www.terraform.io/community.html.

Terraform Version

v1.7.3

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• harness_platform_file_store_file

If this issue appears to affect multiple resources, it may be an issue with Terraform's core, so please mention this.

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "local_file" "values_k8s" {
  count = var.type == "k8s" ? 1 : 0

  content = templatefile("${path.module}/files/k8s/values.yaml", {
    service_name           = var.service_name,
    overrides              = var.service_overrides,
    service_port           = local.service_port,
    service_target_port    = var.service_target_port,
    load_balancer_cert_arn = local.load_balancer_cert_arn,
    secrets                = var.secrets_overrides,
    use_efs                = var.use_efs
  })
  filename = "${path.module}/values.yaml"
}

resource "harness_platform_file_store_file" "values" {
  count = var.type == "k8s" ? 1 : 0

  depends_on = [local_file.values_k8s]

  org_id            = local.org_id
  project_id        = data.harness_platform_project.project.id
  identifier        = "${local.folder_id}_values_${var.environment}"
  name              = "values-${var.environment}.yaml"
  parent_identifier = local.folder_id
  file_content_path = "${path.module}/values.yaml"
  file_usage        = "MANIFEST_FILE"
}

I would like to submit a feature request for the resource harness_platform_file_store_file. Right now it does not support passing the file contents directly into it (like the local file above). This forces us to either build the file dynamically with a local file or have the file already pre-built in the repo. The issue is that most files need to be built dynamically when used in a module format to provide a module that can be used in multiple instances. Because of this we have to use a local file since harness_platform_file_store_file only supports passing in the full file directly and not the content. The local file recreates every single time due to its own limitations (please see note here = https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/local/latest/docs/resources/file). This makes the terraform output extremely messy. I would like the ability to pass the file contents directly into the harness_platform_file_store_file resource like we are doing above for the local_file.
