Releases: hashicorp/terraform
v1.14.0-beta2
1.14.0-beta2 (September 25, 2025)
NEW FEATURES:
-
List Resources: List resources can be defined in
*.tfquery.hcl
files and allow querying and filterting existing infrastructure. -
A new Terraform command
terraform query
: Executes list operations against existing infrastructure and displays the results. The command can optionally generate configuration for importing results into Terraform. -
A new GenerateResourceConfiguration RPC allows providers to create more precise configuration values during import. (#37515)
-
New top-level Actions block: Actions are provider defined and meant to codify use cases outside the normal CRUD model in your Terraform configuration. Providers can define Actions like
aws_lambda_invoke
oraws_cloudfront_create_invalidation
that do something imparative outside of Terraforms normal CRUD model. You can configure such a side-effect with an action block and have actions triggered through the lifecycle of a resource or through passing the-invoke
CLI flag. (#37553)
ENHANCEMENTS:
-
terraform test: expected diagnostics will be included in test output when running in verbose mode" (#37362)
-
terraform test: ignore prevent_destroy attribute during when cleaning up tests" (#37364)
-
terraform stacks
command support for-help
flag (#37645)
BUG FIXES:
-
Retrieve all workspace variables while doing a
terraform import
, include variables inherited from variable sets but not overwritten by the workspace. (#37241) -
Fix OSS backend proxy support by adding a proxy layer for OSS backend operations. Resolves #36897. (#36897)
-
console and test: return explicit diagnostics when referencing resources that were not included in the most recent operation. (#37663)
UPGRADE NOTES:
-
The parallelism of Terraform operations within container runtimes may be reduced depending on the CPU bandwidth limit setting. (#37436)
-
Building Terraform 1.14 requires macOS Monterey or later (due to being built on Go 1.25 which imposes these requirements) (#37436)

EXPERIMENTS:
Experiments are only enabled in alpha releases of Terraform CLI. The following features are not yet available in stable releases.
- The experimental "deferred actions" feature, enabled by passing the
-allow-deferral
option toterraform plan
, permitscount
andfor_each
arguments inmodule
,resource
, anddata
blocks to have unknown values and allows providers to react more flexibly to unknown values. terraform test cleanup
: The experimentaltest cleanup
command. In experimental builds of Terraform, a manifest file and state files for each failed cleanup operation during test operations are saved within the.terraform
local directory. Thetest cleanup
command will attempt to clean up the local state files left behind automatically, without requiring manual intervention.terraform test
:backend
blocks andskip_cleanup
attributes:- Test authors can now specify
backend
blocks withinrun
blocks in Terraform Test files. Run blocks withbackend
blocks will load state from the specified backend instead of starting from empty state on every execution. This allows test authors to keep long-running test infrastructure alive between test operations, saving time during regular test operations. - Test authors can now specify
skip_cleanup
attributes within test files and within run blocks. Theskip_cleanup
attribute tellsterraform test
not to clean up state files produced by run blocks with this attribute set to true. The state files for affected run blocks will be written to disk within the.terraform
directory, where they can then be cleaned up manually using the also experimentalterraform test cleanup
command.
- Test authors can now specify

workspace delete
command to reject""
as an invalid workspace name (#37275) -

UPGRADE NOTES:
terraform test
: External variables referenced within test files should now be accompanied by avariable
definition block within the test file. This is optional, but users with complex external variables may see error diagnostics without the additional variable definition. (#37195)
