In #15884 we adjusted the plan output to give an explicit command to run
to apply a plan, whereas before this command was just alluded to in the
prose.
Since releasing that, we've got good feedback that it's confusing to
include such instructions when Terraform is running in a workflow
automation tool, because such tools usually abstract away exactly what
commands are run and require users to take different actions to
proceed through the workflow.
To accommodate such environments while retaining helpful messages for
normal CLI usage, here we introduce a new environment variable
TF_IN_AUTOMATION which, when set to a non-empty value, is a hint to
Terraform that it isn't being run in an interactive command shell and
it should thus tone down the "next steps" messaging.
The documentation for this setting is included as part of the "...in
automation" guide since it's not generally useful in other cases. We also
intentionally disclaim comprehensive support for this since we want to
avoid creating an extreme number of "if running in automation..."
codepaths that would increase the testing matrix and hurt maintainability.
The focus is specifically on the output of the three commands we give in
the automation guide, which at present means the following two situations:
* "terraform init" does not include the final paragraphs that suggest
running "terraform plan" and tell you in what situations you might need
to re-run "terraform init".
* "terraform plan" does not include the final paragraphs that either
warn about not specifying "-out=..." or instruct to run
"terraform apply" with the generated plan file.
A common reason to want to use `terraform plan` is to have a chance to
review and confirm a plan before running it. If in fact that is the
only reason you are running plan, this new `terraform apply -auto-approve=false`
flag provides an easier alternative to
P=$(mktemp -t plan)
terraform refresh
terraform plan -refresh=false -out=$P
terraform apply $P
rm $P
The flag defaults to true for now, but in a future version of Terraform it will
default to false.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Previously we just silently ignored warnings from validating the backend
config, but now that we have a deprecated argument it's important to print
these out so users can respond to the deprecation warning.
Instead of providing the a path in BackendOpts, provide a loaded
*config.Config instead. This reduces the number of places where
configuration is loaded.
Before this, invoking this codepath would print
Terraform has successfully migrated from legacy remote state to your
configured remote state.%!(EXTRA string=s3)
The reconfigure flag will force init to ignore any saved backend state.
This is useful when a user does not want any backend migration to
happen, or if the saved configuration can't be loaded at all for some
reason.
Add the -lock-timeout flag to the appropriate commands.
Add the -lock flag to `init` and `import` which were missing it.
Set both stateLock and stateLockTimeout in Meta.flagsSet, and remove the
extra references for clarity.
Add fields required to create an appropriate context for all calls to
clistate.Lock.
Add missing checks for Meta.stateLock, where we would attempt to lock,
even if locking should be skipped.
- Have the ui Lock helper use state.LockWithContext.
- Rename the message package to clistate, since that's how it's imported
everywhere.
- Use a more idiomatic placement of the Context in the LockWithContext
args.
Don't erase local state during backend migration if the new and old
paths are the same. Skipping the confirmation and copy are handled in
another patch, but the local state was always erased by default, even
when it was our new state.
It's possible to not change the backend config, but require updating the
stored backend state by moving init options from the config file to the
`-backend-config` flag. If the config is the same, but the hash doesn't
match, update the stored state.
This method mirrors that of config.Backend, so we can compare the
configration of a backend read from a config vs that of a backend read
from a state. This will prevent init from reinitializing when using
`-backend-config` options that match the existing state.
The plan file should contain all data required to execute the apply
operation. Validation requires interpolation, and the `file()`
interpolation function may fail if the module files are not present.
This is the case currently with how TFE executes plans.
The `-force-copy` option will suppress confirmation for copying state
data.
Modify some tests to use the option, making sure to leave coverage of
the Input code path.

This should've been part of 2c19aa69d9
This is the same issue, just missed a spot. Tests are hard to cover for
this since we're removing the legacy backends one by one, eventually
it'll be gone. A good sign is that we don't import backendlegacy at all
anymore in command/
This augments backend-config to also accept key=value pairs.
This should make Terraform easier to script rather than having to
generate a JSON file.
You must still specify the backend type as a minimal amount in
configurations, example:
```
terraform { backend "consul" {} }
```
This is required because Terraform needs to be able to detect the
_absense_ of that value for unsetting, if that is necessary at some
point.
Plans were properly encoding backend configuration but the apply was
reading it from the wrong field. :( This meant that every apply from a
plan was applying it locally with backends.
This needs to get released ASAP.
Fixes#12749
If we merge in an extra partial config we need to recompute the hash to
compare with the old value to detect that change.
This hash needs to NOT be stored and just used as a temporary. We want
to keep the original hash in the state so that we don't detect a change
from the config (since the config will always be partial).
Add Env and SetEnv methods to command.Meta to retrieve the current
environment name inside any command.
Make sure all calls to Backend.State contain an environment name, and
make the package compile against the update backend package.
I made this interface way back with the original backend work and I
guess I forgot to hook it up! This is becoming an issue as I'm working
on our 2nd enhanced backend that requires this information and I
realized it was hardcoded before.
This propertly uses the CLIInit interface allowing any backend to gain
access to this data.
During backend initialization, especially during a migration, there is a
chance that an existing state could be overwritten.
Attempt to get a locks when writing the new state. It would be nice to
always have a lock when reading the states, but the recursive structure
of the Meta.Backend config functions makes that quite complex.
