Hello,

Before, I used Environment variables in Jenkins configuration to set Azure credentials and my terraform init worked.

I installed the Azure credentials in order to use several tenant credentials.

but my terraform init complain this:

Error configuring the backend "azurerm": resource_group_name and credentials must be provided when access_key is absent

when I set back Environment variables in Jenkins, everything works.

this is my pipeline script:

---------------

 
def checkout() {
stage('Clone repository') {
git branch: 'dev',
credentialsId: 'gitalb-token-ci',
url: 'https://url.git'
sh "ls -lat"
}
}
 
def terraformFmt() {
stage('Terraform fmt') {
sh 'terraform fmt'
}
}

def terraformInit() {
stage('Terraform Init') {
sh "az login --service-principal -u $CLIENT_ID -p $CLIENT_SECRET -t $TENANT_ID"
sh "az account set -s $SUBS_ID"
sh "terraform init"
}
}

def terraformPlan() {
stage('Terraform Plan') {
sh "terraform plan -input=false"
}
}

def terraformApply() {
stage('Terraform Apply') {
input "Are you ready for APPLY ?"
sh "terraform apply -input=false -auto-approve"
}
}
 
node {
withCredentials([azureServicePrincipal(credentialsId: 'credentials_id_ci,
subscriptionIdVariable: 'SUBS_ID',
clientIdVariable: 'CLIENT_ID',
clientSecretVariable: 'CLIENT_SECRET',
tenantIdVariable: 'TENANT_ID')]) {
 
checkout()
terraformFmt()
terraformInit()
terraformPlan()
terraformApply()
}
---------------
 
thanks for your help.
