The sum() function accepts a collection of values which must all convert
to numbers. It is valid for this to be a collection of string values
representing numbers.
Previously the function would panic if the first element of a collection
was a non-number type, as we didn't attempt to convert it to a number
before calling the cty `Add` method.
Some function errors include values derived from arguments. This commit
is the result of a manual audit of these errors, which resulted in:
- Adding a helper function to redact sensitive values;
- Applying that helper function where errors include values derived from
possibly-sensitive arguments;
- Cleaning up other errors which need not include those values, or were
otherwise incorrect.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
