Regarding the terraform destroy in github actions

[barya1993]

Hey all,

I am a beginner in github actions and I am not able to have github apply and destroy in the same yml file. The github generates the plan and creates the object after that it also deletes the object as I have given terraform destroy right after the terraform apply.

`name: 'Terraform CI'

on:
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
#types: [closed]
branches:
- master
jobs:
terraform:
name: 'Terraform'
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

# Use the Bash shell regardless whether the GitHub Actions runner is ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, or windows-latest
defaults:
  run:
    shell: bash
    working-directory: tf-test

steps:
# Checkout the repository to the GitHub Actions runner
- name: Checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: dorny/paths-filter@v2
  id: filter
  with:
    filters: |
       tf-test:
         - 'tf-test/**'
# Install the latest version of Terraform CLI and configure the Terraform CLI configuration file with a Terraform Cloud user API token
- name: Setup Terraform
  uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1


# Initialize a new or existing Terraform working directory by creating initial files, loading any remote state, downloading modules, etc.
- name: Terraform Init
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  run: terraform init
  env:
    GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}

# Checks that all Terraform configuration files adhere to a canonical format
- name: Terraform Format
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  run: terraform fmt -check
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}

- name: terraform pwd
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  run: pwd
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}

- name: terraform ls
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  run: ls
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}

- name: Terraform Plan
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  id: plan
  # if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/master' && github.event_name == 'push'
  run: terraform plan -out=tfplan -input=false -no-color
  continue-on-error: true
  env:
   GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}

- name: Terraform Apply
  if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/master' && github.event_name == 'push' && steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  run: terraform apply "tfplan"
  env:
    GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}
- name: Terraform Apply
  if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/master' && github.event_name == 'push' && steps.filter.outputs.tf-nitish == 'true'
  run: terraform apply "tfplan"
  env:
    GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}
  #working-directory: ${{ env.ROOT_PATH }}
- name: terraform destroy
  if: steps.filter.outputs.tf-test == 'true'
  uses: dflook/terraform-destroy@v1
  with:
      path: ./tf-test
  env:
    GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}`
    
    
   So my terraform github action will create the resources and right after it is done it will destroy the resources. Can someone tell me what am I missing.

@dflook , sorry for the tag but it seems I missing very basic here and hence as soon as everything gets built it gets destroyed right after that.
