Include maxdepth parameter to limit the number of subfolders to review

[tceu-maurizio]

Introduction

Usually our terraform workspace contains multiple subdirectories, including .terraform, and the .terraform includes multiple subfolders when working with nested terraform modules. Limiting tflint to only scan a certain level of directories in a similar way the find command works will be really helpful and improve tflint performance, hence reducing development time.

Proposal

Please include maxdepth parameter on tflint, similar to the find --maxdepth command.

Example:

tflint --maxdepth 1 # to only scan the current directory
tflint --maxdepth 2 # to scan maximum 2 subfolder levels
