✨ New Features / 🛠️ Breaking Changes
Catalog/Scaffold no longer requires --root-file-name root.hcl
✨ The catalog and scaffold commands will now attempt to discover a parent root.hcl file by default and use it as the default root Terragrunt configuration when present to help users adopt the changes in migrating-from-root-terragrunt-hcl.
Users that have switched over to use root.hcl as the root of their Terragrunt configurations instead of terragrunt.hcl will no longer need to explicitly pass --root-file-name root.hcl or use the root-terragrunt-hcl strict control to automatically discover the root of their Terragrunt configurations when using catalog or scaffold.
🛠️ Note that this is technically a breaking change to the way that catalog and scaffold work. With this change, users that have both a root.hcl file and a terragrunt.hcl file at the root of their repositories will have the root.hcl file used instead of the terragrunt.hcl file for the catalog and scaffold commands.
If you are not yet ready to rename the terragrunt.hcl file at the root of your repository, use the --root-file-name flag to explicitly provide terragrunt.hcl as the name of the Terragrunt configuration at the root of your Terragrunt project.
This change was made as most users are very unlikely to have both root.hcl (the recommended root of Terragrunt configurations) and terragrunt.hcl (the legacy root of Terragrunt configurations in the same Terragrunt project) at the root of their Terragrunt project. This configuration is entirely CLI based, making it relatively easy to address for users (as opposed to HCL configurations, which might take more time for teams to address).
Users looking to move from a root terragrunt.hcl file to a root.hcl file will still need to read through the migration guide to adjust all usages of find_in_parent_folders when making the switch.
