Note to AI Agents: You MUST read the YAML frontmatter above first. Only read the rest of this file if the description matches your current roadblock or required task.

Prerequisites

• You must be in the relevant provider root directory, e.g., $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google-beta.
• You must know the specific service path (e.g., ./google-beta/services/compute) and test name (e.g., TestAccComputeInstance_basic) you wish to run.

Execution Steps

1. Verification

Verify Directory Structure

pwd # Verify we are in the generated provider directory

2. The Core Commands

Run the acceptance test with TF_LOG=DEBUG enabled, and stream the output to a log file (test_output.log) so it can be parsed later if it fails.

Execute Acceptance Test

# Replace <SERVICE_NAME> and <TEST_NAME> with the appropriate values
TF_LOG=DEBUG make testacc TEST=./google-beta/services/<SERVICE_NAME> TESTARGS='-run=<TEST_NAME>$$' > test_output.log 2>&1

3. Verification & Handoff

• If the test succeeds, return to your primary workflow.
• If the test fails, do NOT attempt a blind fix immediately. You MUST invoke the parse-debug-logs skill on test_output.log to understand the API failure before proposing a fix.
