* command/fmt: Document -diff doesn't disable -write
As noted in hashicorp/terraform#6343, this description misleadingly
suggested that the `-diff` option disables the `-write` option.
This isn't the case and because of the default options (described in
c753390) the behaviour of `terraform fmt -diff` is actually the same as
`terraform fmt -write -list -diff`.
Replace the "instead of rewriting" description to clarify that.
Documentation in hcl/fmtcmd is corrected in hashicorp/hcl#117 but it's not
really necessary to bump the dependency version.
* command/fmt: Show flag defaults in help text
These were documented on the website but not in the `-help` text. This
should help to clarify that you need to pass `-list=false -write=false
-diff` if you only want to see diffs.
Accordingly I've replaced the word "disabled" with "always false" in the
STDIN special cases so that it matches the terminology used in the defaults
and better indicates that it is overridden.
NB: The 3x duplicated defaults and documentation makes me feel uneasy once
again. I'm not sure how to solve that, though.
These options don't make sense when passing STDIN. `-write` will raise an
error because there is no file to write to. `-list` will always say
`<standard input>`. So disable whenever using STDIN, making the command
much simpler:
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -
So that you can do automatic formatting from an editor. You probably want to
disable the `-write` and `-list` options so that you just get the
re-formatted content, e.g.
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -write=false -list=false -
I've added a non-exported field called `input` so that we can override this
for the tests. If not specified, like in `commands.go`, then it will default
to `os.Stdin` which works on the command line.
The most common usage usage will be enabling the `-write` and `-list`
options so that files are updated in place and a list of any modified files
is printed. This matches the default behaviour of `go fmt` (not `gofmt`). So
enable these options by default.
This does mean that you will have to explicitly disable these if you want to
generate valid patches, e.g. `terraform fmt -diff -write=false -list=false`
This uses the `fmtcmd` package which has recently been merged into HCL. Per
the usage text, this rewrites Terraform config files to their canonical
formatting and style.
Some notes about the implementation for this initial commit:
- all of the fmtcmd options are exposed as CLI flags
- it operates on all files that have a `.tf` suffix
- it currently only operates on the working directory and doesn't accept a
directory argument, but I'll extend this in subsequent commits
- output is proxied through `cli.UiWriter` so that we write in the same way
as other commands and we can capture the output during tests
- the test uses a very simple fixture just to ensure that it is working
correctly end-to-end; the fmtcmd package has more exhaustive tests
- we have to write the fixture to a file in a temporary directory because it
will be modified and for this reason it was easier to define the fixture
contents as a raw string
This means that terraform commands like `plan`, `apply`, `show`, and
`graph` will expand all modules by default.
While modules-as-black-boxes is still very true in the conceptual design
of modules, feedback on this behavior has consistently suggested that
users would prefer to see more verbose output by default.
The `-module-depth` flag and env var are retained to allow output to be
optionally limited / summarized by these commands.
When destroying infrastructure with `--target`, print out which
infrastructure will be destroyed instead of saying `Terraform will
delete all your managed infrastructure`.
```
terraform destroy --target aws_instance.test2 --target aws_instance.test1
Do you really want to destroy?
Terraform will delete the following infrastructure:
aws_instance.test2
aws_instance.test1
There is no undo. Only 'yes' will be accepted to confirm
```
Omitting `--target` arguments will use the default input description.
```
$ terraform destroy
Do you really want to destroy?
Terraform will delete all your managed infrastructure.
There is no undo. Only 'yes' will be accepted to confirm.
```
Previously the plan summary output would consider -/+ diffs as changes
even though they actually destroy and create instances. This was
misleadning and inconsistent with the accounting that gets done for the
similar summary written out after "apply".
Instead we now count the -/+ diffs as both adds and removes, which should
mean that the counts output in the plan summary should match those in
the apply summary, as long as no errors occur during apply.
This fixes#3163.
Sometimes in all the output from ```terraform plan```, it is difficult
to see the ```(forces new resource)``` message.
This patch adds a little bit of color.
