Error mounting state file due to size.

[roccato]

While using the kit to migrate we encountered the following error on several of our state files.
This was from running the apply on the manager-stack

│ Error: could not create stack mounted file: validation failed: file is too large, max size is 2MB

The state files we have failing to mount range anywhere from 1.2M to 7.4M.
I attempted to mount them in the UI and that also failed, which leads me to believe this is an api constraint with mounted files and not one specific to the migration kit.

In any case, 2MB seems like a very tight constraint considering the potential size of a terraform state file. Can that limit be bumped? Can the migration kit use another method?

Thanks for reporting this. We will look into it.

@roccato Thanks for your patience.

This limitation will be removed in an upcoming release, but until then, we documented the workaround: https://github.com/spacelift-io/spacelift-migration-kit#state-files-bigger-than-2mb.

Hope it helps.
