How to override remote state in Terratest Terraform setup

I'm trying to understand how to override the Terraform backend ( in my case remote state ) and use local state when setting up Terratest Terraform test.

I am using Terratest to test some Terraform code, and we manage the state remotely in s3. During Terratest i want to use local state but during the "terraform init" state it can'nt find a way to override it.

any help will be appreciated

Terraform allows for command line options to control backend configuration. Since you're using Terratest, you'll have to pass these backend options to Init.

package terraform

import (
    "fmt"
    "testing"
)

// InitE calls terraform init and return stdout/stderr.
func InitE(t *testing.T, options *Options) (string, error) {
    args := []string{"init", fmt.Sprintf("-upgrade=%t", options.Upgrade)}
    args = append(args, FormatTerraformBackendConfigAsArgs(options.BackendConfig)...)
    return RunTerraformCommandE(t, options, args...)
}
