Fixes #2051
Previously,
--chdir
and--recursive
could not be used together.This is because the
--recursive
was originally designed as--chdir
for multi-directory #1612 #1622Given this background, using them together was out of scope. Also, it is not obvious whether
--recursive
or--chdir
takes precedence, which can lead to strange behavior when--recursive
takes precedence.However, given that
terraform -chdir=infra fmt --recursive
is a valid command, it is natural to expect similar behavior. Interraform fmt
,-chdir
takes precedence and recurses into the directory after the move. TFLint follows this behavior.
