# atmos terraform workdir show

Use this command to display detailed information about a specific component's workdir, including its path, metadata, and current state.

## Usage

```shell
atmos terraform workdir show <component> --stack <stack> [flags]
```

## Arguments

- **`component`**
  The name of the Terraform component whose workdir you want to inspect.

## Flags

- **`-s, --stack`**
  **Required.**
   The stack name for the component.

## Examples

### Show Workdir Details

```shell
# Show details for the vpc component in the dev stack
atmos terraform workdir show vpc --stack dev
```

Example output:

```
✓ Workdir Status

  Name           dev-vpc-bb03116d
  Component      vpc
  Stack          dev
  Source Type    local
  Source         components/terraform/vpc
  Path           .workdir/terraform/dev-vpc-bb03116d
  Content Hash   a60bbfad57c32f1d7acd08defd9f0bb7

```

## Understanding the Output

The command displays:

- **Name** - The workdir directory name, ending in `<stack>-<component>-<hash>` (the trailing hash keeps two component instances from colliding even when their `<stack>-<component>` prefixes look the same)
- **Component** - The Terraform component name
- **Stack** - The stack this workdir belongs to
- **Source Type** - The source type (`local` for local components)
- **Source** - Original component location
- **Path** - Relative path to the workdir
- **Content Hash** - Hash of the workdir contents
- **Created** - Timestamp when the workdir was first created
- **Updated** - Timestamp of the last update
- **Last Accessed** - Timestamp when the workdir was last accessed

## Error Handling

If the workdir doesn't exist, the command will display an error:

```shell
$ atmos terraform workdir show vpc --stack dev
Error: workdir not found for component 'vpc' in stack 'dev'
```

This typically means:

- The component hasn't been initialized yet (run `atmos terraform init`)
- The workdir was cleaned (run `atmos terraform init` to recreate)
- The `provision.workdir.enabled` setting is not enabled for this component
