Conversation
Refactor the terragrunt module to clearly separate terragrunt-specific arguments from terraform command arguments. This improves API clarity and makes the intended use of arguments explicit. Changes: - Replace single ExtraArgs field with TerragruntArgs and TerraformArgs - Automatically handle -- separator when TerraformArgs are present - Update all tests to use the new argument structure Benefits: - Clear separation between terragrunt flags (--no-color, --terragrunt-log-level) and terraform commands (plan, apply, -upgrade) - Automatic separator handling reduces boilerplate - Better type safety prevents mixing of argument types - More maintainable and intuitive API

Summary
This PR refactors the terragrunt module to explicitly separate terragrunt-specific arguments from terraform command arguments, improving API clarity and usability.
Motivation
The previous implementation used a single
ExtraArgsfield for all arguments, making it unclear which arguments were for terragrunt vs terraform. The--separator logic was also handled inconsistently across different commands.Changes
ExtraArgsfield with:TerragruntArgs: For terragrunt-specific flags (e.g.,--no-color,--terragrunt-log-level)TerraformArgs: For terraform commands passed after--separator (e.g.,plan,apply,-upgrade)--separator is now automatically added whenTerraformArgsare presentBenefits
--separator reduces boilerplateTesting
All existing tests have been updated and are passing:
Breaking Changes
This is a breaking change for the beta terragrunt module. Users will need to update their code to use
TerragruntArgsandTerraformArgsinstead ofExtraArgs.Migration Example
