This is a pragmatic temporary solution to allow us to more quickly resolve
an upstream regression in go-getter locally within Terraform, so that the
work to upstream it for other callers can happen asynchronously and with
less time pressure.
This commit doesn't yet include any changes to address the bug, and
instead aims to be functionally equivalent to getter.GitGetter. A
subsequent commit will then address the regression, so that the diff of
that commit will be easier to apply later to the upstream to get the same
effect there.
Earlier work to make "terraform init" interruptible made the getproviders
package context-aware in order to allow provider installation to be cancelled.
Here we make a similar change for module installation, which is now also
cancellable with SIGINT. This involves plumbing context through initwd and
getmodules. Functions which can make network requests now include a context
parameter whose cancellation cancels those requests.
Since the module installation code is shared, "terraform get" is now
also interruptible during module installation.
It's been a long while since we gave close attention to the codepaths for
module source address parsing and external module package installation.
Due to their age, these codepaths often diverged from our modern practices
such as representing address types in the addrs package, and encapsulating
package installation details only in a particular location.
In particular, this refactor makes source address parsing a separate step
from module installation, which therefore makes the result of that parsing
available to other Terraform subsystems which work with the configuration
representation objects.
This also presented the opportunity to better encapsulate our use of
go-getter into a new package "getmodules" (echoing "getproviders"), which
is intended to be the only part of Terraform that directly interacts with
go-getter.
This is largely just a refactor of the existing functionality into a new
code organization, but there is one notable change in behavior here: the
source address parsing now happens during configuration loading rather
than module installation, which may cause errors about invalid addresses
to be returned in different situations than before. That counts as
backward compatible because we only promise to remain compatible with
configurations that are _valid_, which means that they can be initialized,
planned, and applied without any errors. This doesn't introduce any new
error cases, and instead just makes a pre-existing error case be detected
earlier.
Our module registry client is still using its own special module address
type from registry/regsrc for now, with a small shim from the new
addrs.ModuleSourceRegistry type. Hopefully in a later commit we'll also
rework the registry client to work with the new address type, but this
commit is already big enough as it is.
This new package aims to encapsulate all of our interactions with
go-getter to fetch remote module packages, to ensure that the rest of
Terraform will only use the small subset of go-getter functionality that
our modern module installer uses.
In older versions of Terraform, go-getter was the entire implementation
of module installation, but along the way we found that several aspects of
its design are poor fit for Terraform's needs, and so now we're using it
as just an implementation detail of Terraform's handling of remote module
packages only, hiding it behind this wrapper API which exposes only
the services that our module installer needs.
This new package isn't actually used yet, but in a later commit we will
change all of the other callers to go-getter to only work indirectly
through this package, so that this will be the only package that actually
imports the go-getter packages.
