Action does not use terraform_version sometimes

[russmac]

I've noticed on several occasions now , the action will seemingly ignore some minor versions and simply use a newer version causing my version lock and assertion to fail. Switching to the newer forced version it is of course then used (for some time)

I have a version assertion in my code , which is only respected temporarily it appears new releases cause the issue, However I am not sure if this is intended behavior as it does not appear to be documented.

        - uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
          with:
            terraform_version: 1.0.3

How to reproduce:
runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
Set your terraform_version to 1.0.3 it will install newer version, no warning logs to indicate why.

I have now figured out my mistake since I had similar issue.

When using a globally set terraform version for all actions accessing it should be via env node.

So when doing this in the workflow setup:

env:
   TERRAFORM_VERSION: 1.3.2

And then reading it in setup-terraform we have to access this via ${{ env.TERRAFORM_VERSION }} not just $TERRAFORM_VERSION which was what I tried to do...

    - uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v2
      with:
        terraform_version: ${{ env.TERRAFORM_VERSION }}

Check if you have made same mistake and fix for the win.
