Automatically create s3 backend?

[jmreicha]

I am running into an issue when attempting to start a new environment from scratch, which requires a new remote state backend to be created.

The problem only appears when I do a run-all from a directory that has dependencies. I have tested and get prompted to create the remote state if I do a run-all from a directory that has no dependencies and get prompted with Remote state S3 bucket foo does not exist or you don't have permissions to access it. Would you like Terragrunt to create it? (y/n)

From what I can see there is some discrepancy in how dependencies are treated, but my goal would be to be able to do a run-all and spin up everything in one shot with no manual intervention. Any guidance here?

If you are starting in a new environment where the corresponding S3 Bucket for the state is not yet available, and you wish to always automatically create it, you can call terragrunt with the --terragrunt-non-interactive flag to always precreate the buckets. Note that if you are concerned about --terragrunt-non-interactive saying yes to a prompt without your input, you can run terragrunt run-all init --terragrunt-non-interactive for the bucket setup, which is a safe operation.

Ah yep. I also noticed that setting skip_outputs in the dependency block also needs to be set.

Thank you for the quick response!
