[Wiki] Not Updating attributes of the module

[joaoheytor]

Hey folks, hope you're good!
I'm implementing the Terraform Module Release 1.5 for my stack, and I noticed in the attributes part of the wiki is showing the text:

components/terraform/letsencrypt/README.md updated successfully

Not sure if it's a bug or something that I did wrong... thoughts on this?

Hi @joaoheytor Definitely a bug. Is there anyway you'd be able to show me more information about your current setup, logs, etc. Is the repo public/private? I'd be happy to work with you directly if you're willing to connect privately with me. Feel free to email me at virgofx@techpivot.com

Also, would you mind updating to 1.7.0 and testing that?

👍 I am on 1.7.1, in a private repo and facing the same issue.

I have a simple example-module where everything works as expected but on other modules i get e.g.:

/home/runner/work/.../README.md updated successfully

My other modules include a .terraform-docs.yml file which does seem to be expected and "handled" here.

I'll try a module without a .terraform-docs.yml file and report back.

Edit:

Indeed, the cause of this in my case seems to be the .terraform-docs.yml file included with my module code.
Modules without it get the expected auto-generated attributes section.

In my run I see (this is a run that included the addition of three modules without a .terraform-docs.yml file and one with it):

Installing terraform-docs v0.20.0
Ensuring .terraform-docs.yml does not exist
No .terraform-docs.yml found.

So it seems that checking the workspaceDir for it is not sufficient and each module needs to be checked individually?

Edit 2:

Possible feature request:
Being able to control what terraform-docs produces for the wiki by actually accounting for this file on a per-module basis could be nice!
