Using netbox branching

[MEschenbacher]

Hey,

I've been looking through the documentation, trying to make use of netbox branching with the module.

#116 implements almost exactly the thing I'd like to do: being able provide the http header X-NetBox-Branch if I want to use a branch. However, I'd also like to not provide the variable in case I do not want to use a branch.

I've commented into the PR my unsuccessful tries: https://github.com/e-breuninger/terraform-provider-netbox/pull/116/changes#r2847326856

so tl;dr: is there currently a way to provide NETBOX_HEADERS to include X-NetBox-Branch via environment variables?

here is a bit of terraform that might do what you want without needing provider changes. you'd need to set TF_VAR_BRANCH to set the branch

variable "branch" {
  description = "Netbox branch to work on"
  default     = null
}

locals {
  netbox_headers = {
    for branch in [var.branch] : "X-NetBox-Branch" => branch if branch != null
  }
}

provider "netbox" {
  server_url = "https://netbox"
  headers    = local.netbox_headers
}

Thank you for the pointer and implementation. I needed to uppercase the variable "BRANCH" and var.BRANCH so it works with the TF_VAR_BRANCH (it seems to be case sensitive).
