Not compatible with Terraform 0.12.x

This provider plugin is not currently compatible with Terraform 0.12.x

The error is: Error: Failed to instantiate provider "salt" to obtain schema: Incompatible API version with plugin. Plugin version: 4, Client versions: [5]

I was able to update the version of terraform in go.mod and recompile. So far this appears to have been successful, the plugin loaded, and the salt_host resource is showing up in the terraform state.

I'd submit a PR but I am not a Go developer, and have no clue what I am doing, especially relating to how this project's dependencies are managed, or how a release would be handled.

The docs say glide is used, but I could see no hint of that in the repo, and so while there may have been an easier way, I installed the dependencies, and re-vendored them, using go's own tools alone.

Just a quick note for anyone else who might be stumbling around in the dark like me... While this can be made to work with some manual changes, the current version of SALT.ROSTER.TERRAFORM does not appear to support all tfstate formats. It may be that it just doesn't support the format used in 0.12.x.

For my relatively simple case, I ended up replacing this plugin with the following...

resource "local_file" "roster" {
  filename = "${path.root}/salt/config/roster"
  content = jsonencode({
    webserver = {
      host = aws_eip.name.public_ip
      user = "username"
      passwd = ""
      sudo = true
    }
  })
}

As far as I see this is reported here saltstack/salt#60915 and fixed by saltstack/salt#61311
