go get github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest@latest

Requires Go 1.26 or later. To lock to a specific release instead of @latest, see Pinning a Terratest version.

Stability and versioning

Starting with v1.0.0, Terratest follows semantic versioning. Breaking changes to the public API only happen in major releases (e.g. v2.0.0).

Symbols renamed or replaced in v1 are kept with // Deprecated: annotations pointing at the new name; removals happen in v2. Migrating from v0.x: see the v1 migration guide. Migrating from v1 to v2: see the v2 migration guide.

v1 maintenance. With v2 in development, the v1 line has entered maintenance: it receives security fixes only, delivered on the v1 branch, until 12 months after v2.0.0 reaches general availability. v2 ships under new /v2 module paths, so pinned v1 consumers are unaffected. Upgrade on your own schedule.
