Question: Is it possible to run the visualizer using VCS-Workspaces? (HCL Terraform)

[DGuhr]

Hi I used this great tool on a "normal" OSS Repo with local state, and it worked pretty well. Now I am in a situation using TF Enterprise, with a VCS-driven workflow and a remote backend, and I am not able to run terraform plan -out plan.out.

The error message I get is

Error: Saved plans not allowed for workspaces with a VCS connection
│ 
│ A workspace that is connected to a VCS requires the VCS-driven workflow to ensure that the VCS remains the single source of truth.

Are there any workarounds to make the visualizer work in this environment?

That'd be great!

Thanks

We didn't test extensively in Terraform enterprise environments. The plan file is what allows us to extract the json the frontend consumes.
Here is an example of the json for reference.

here is the plan associated with it.

If you manage to extract either you should be able to use it. hope this helps.
