How do I set the terraform version the wrapper is using dynamically?

[red8888]

I have this setup to run on a list of directories some of which will have terraform version files I want to use to set the terraform version.

I'm not asking for .terraform-version support I just want to know how I can add this manually.

I also want to use the terraform wrapper to get the output in the PR but I can't figure out how to tell the wrapper what terraform version to use.

Its going to be different for every folder so I can't statically set with.terraform_version from the output of a previous job or anything. I need to set it inside of the job with hashicorp/setup-terraform.

How is this possible? I tried setting this env var I saw in the code to tfenv: export TERRAFORM_CLI_PATH="$HOME/.tfenv/bin" but that doesn't work.

I want to use the terraform wrapper of this workflow not a raw tf exe so I can get the nice output.

Never mind I didn't understand how gh actions worked

I was able to define an output in the job and pass it to the workflow

  - name: Set Version
    id: tf_version
    run: |
      # Script reads version files and sets github output like this: echo "tf_version=$TF_VERSION" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
      my_script.sh

  - uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v2
    with:
      # Use output set in previous step as input to the workflow
      terraform_version: ${{ steps.tf_version.outputs.tf_version }}
