While #16243 added the ability to retry getting a state from S3, Put can
return the same InternalError status. Use the same retry logic when
uploading state to S3.
Add a way to inject network errors by setting an immediate deadline on
open consul connections. The consul client currently doesn't retry on
some errors, and will force us to lose our lock.
Once the consul api client is fixed, this test will fail.
The consul Client is analogous to an http.Client, and we really don't
need more than 1. Configure a single client and store it in the backend.
Replace the default Transport's Dialer to reduce the KeepAlive setting
from 30s to 17s. This avoids racing with the common network timeout
value of 30s, and is also coprime to other common intervals.
Internal errors from S3 are usually transient, and can be immediately retried.
Make 2 attempts at retreiving the state object before returning an error.
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.
The previous diff presentation was rather "wordy", and not very friendly
to those who can't see color either because they have color-blindness or
because they don't have a color-supporting terminal.
This new presentation uses the actual symbols used in the plan output
and tries to be more concise. It also uses some framing characters to
try to separate the different stages of "terraform plan" to make it
easier to visually navigate.
The apply command also adopts this new plan presentation, in preparation
for "terraform apply" (with interactive plan confirmation) becoming the
primary, safe workflow in the next major release.
Finally, we standardize on the terminology "perform" and "actions" rather
than "execute" and "changes" to reflect the fact that reading is now an
action and that isn't actually a _change_.
Previously the rendered plan output was constructed directly from the
core plan and then annotated with counts derived from the count hook.
At various places we applied little adjustments to deal with the fact that
the user-facing diff model is not identical to the internal diff model,
including the special handling of data source reads and destroys. Since
this logic was just muddled into the rendering code, it behaved
inconsistently with the tally of adds, updates and deletes.
This change reworks the plan formatter so that it happens in two stages:
- First, we produce a specialized Plan object that is tailored for use
in the UI. This applies all the relevant logic to transform the
physical model into the user model.
- Second, we do a straightforward visual rendering of the display-oriented
plan object.
For the moment this is slightly overkill since there's only one rendering
path, but it does give us the benefit of letting the counts be derived
from the same data as the full detailed diff, ensuring that they'll stay
consistent.
Later we may choose to have other UIs for plans, such as a
machine-readable output intended to drive a web UI. In that case, we'd
want the web UI to consume a serialization of the _display-oriented_ plan
so that it doesn't need to re-implement all of these UI special cases.
This introduces to core a new diff action type for "refresh". Currently
this is used _only_ in the UI layer, to represent data source reads.
Later it would be good to use this type for the core diff as well, to
improve consistency, but that is left for another day to keep this change
focused on the UI.
A TLS config was being assigned to a Transport in a nil http.Client. The
Transport is built in the consul config by default, but the http.Client
is not built until later in NewClient.
Go 1.9 adds this new function which, when called, marks the caller as
being a "helper function". Helper function stack frames are then skipped
when trying to find a line of test code to blame for a test failure, so
that the code in the main test function appears in the test failure output
rather than a line within the helper function itself.
This covers many -- but probaly not all -- of our test helpers across
various packages.
Added locking support via blob leasing (requires that an empty state is
created before any lock can be acquired.
Added support for "environments" in much the same way as the S3 backend.
S3 accepts objects with a leading slash and strips them off. This works
fine except in our workspace hierarchy, which then can no longer find
suffixes matching the full key name.
When remote backend imeplemtations create a new named state, they may
need to acquire a lock and/or save an actual empty state to the backend.
Copy this behavior in the inmem backend for testing.
Updated the vendored consul which no longer requires the channel adapter
to convert a `chan stuct{}` to a `<-chan struct{}`.
Call testutil.NewTestServerConfigT with the new signature.
Forward-port the plan state check from the 0.9 series.
0.10 has improved the serial handling for the state, so this adds
relevant comments and some more test coverage for the case of an
incrementing serial during apply.
When a consul lock is lost, there is a possibility that the associated
session is still active. Most commonly, the long request to watch the
lock key may error out, while the session is continually refreshed at a
rate of TTL/2.
First have the lock monitor retry the lock internally for at least 10
seconds (5 attempts with the default 2 second wait time). In most cases
this will reconnect on the first try, keeping the lock channel open.
If the consul lock can't recover itself, then cancel the session as soon
as possible (terminating the PreiodicRenew will call Session.Destroy),
and start over. In the worse case, the consul agents were split, and the
session still exists on the leader so we may need to wait for the old
session TTL, plus the LockWait time to renew the lock.
We use a Context for the cancellation channels here, because that
removes the need to worry about double-closes and nil channels. It
requires an awkward adapter goroutine for now to convert the Done()
`<-chan` to a `chan` for PeriodicRenew, but makes the rest of the code
safer in the long run.
Remote state implementations may initialize a lineage when creating a
new named state (i.e. "workspace"). The tests were ignoring that initial
lineage to write a new state to the backend.
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.
Rather than overloading InstanceDiff with a "Stub" attribute that is
going to be largely meaningless, we are just going to skip
pre/post-diff hooks altogether. This is under the notion that we will
eventually not need to "stub" a diff for scale-out, stateless nodes on
refresh at all, so diff behaviour won't be necessary at that point, so
we should not assume that hooks will run at this stage anyway.
Also as part of this removed the CountHook test that is now failing
because CountHook is out of scope of the new behaviour.
We are changing the behaviour of the "stub" diff operation to just have
the pre/post-diff hooks skipped on eval, meaning that the test against
CountHook will ultimately be meaningless and fail, hence we need a
different test here that tests it on a more general level.
The s3.Backend was using it's own code for DeleteState, but the dynamo
entries are only handled through the RemoteClient. Have DeleteState use
a RemoteClient for delete.
During plan and apply, because the provider constraints need to be built
from a plan, they are not checked until the terraform.Context is
created. Since the context is always requested by the backend during the
Operation, the backend needs to be responsible for generating contextual
error messages for the user.
Instead of formatting the ResolveProviders errors during NewContext,
return a special error type, ResourceProviderError to signal that
init will be required. The backend can then extract and format the
errors.
Changed the language of this field to indicate that this diff is not a
"real" diff, in that it should not be acted on, versus a "quiet" mode,
which would indicate just simply to act silently.
This fixes a bug with the new refresh graph behaviour where a resource
was being counted twice in the UI on part of being scaled out:
* We are no longer transforming refresh nodes without state to
plannable resources (the transformer will be removed shortly)
* A Quiet flag has been added to EvalDiff and InstanceDiff - this
allows for the flagging of a diff that should not be treated as real
diff for purposes of planning
* When there is no state for a refresh node now, a new path is taken
that is similar to plan, but flags Quiet, and does nothing with the
diff afterwards.
Tests pending - light testing has confirmed this should fix the double
count issue, but we should have some tests to actually confirm the bug.
Move the Swift State from a legacy remote state to an official backend.
Add `container` and `archive_container` configuration variables, and deprecate `path` and `archive_path` variables.
Future improvements: Add support for locking and environments.
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.
This allows you to run multiple concurrent terraform operations against
different environments from the same source directory.
Fixes#14447.
Also removes some dead code which appears to do the same thing as the function I
modified.
Rather than providing an already-resolved map of plugins to core, we now
provide a "provider resolver" which knows how to resolve a set of provider
dependencies, to be determined later, and produce that map.
This requires the context to be instantiated in a different way, so this
very noisy diff is a mostly-mechanical update of all of the existing
places where contexts get created for testing, using some adapted versions
of the pre-existing utilities for passing in mock providers.
This reverts commit b73d037761.
This commit seems to have introduced a race condition where we can
concurrently keep updating state after we've checked if we need to
increase the serial, and thus end up writing partial changes
to the state backend.
In the case of Terraform Enterprise, this fails altogether because
of the state hash consistency check it does.
Since the DynamoDB table used by the S3 backend is no longer only used
for locks, rename it in the config to remove any confusion about it
being lock-specific.
Consul locks are based on liveness, and may be lost due timeouts,
network issued, etc. If the client determines the lock was lost, attempt
to reacquire the lock immediately.
The client was also not using the `lock` config option. Disable locks if
that is not set.
The S3 client can return (nil, nil) when the remote state doesn't exist.
The caused a nil pointer dereference when checking the payload.MD5
against the expected value.
This can happen if the remote state was manually removed, but the digest
entry was left in the DynamoDB table.
When the backend operation is cancelled, immediately call PersistState.
The is a high likelihood that the user is going to terminate the process
early if the provider doesn't return in a timely manner, so persist as
much state as possible.
Have StateHook periodically call PersistState to flush any cached state
to permanent storage. This uses a minimal 10 second interval between
calls to PersistState.
Updates to objects in S3 are only eventually consistent. If the
RemoteClient has a DynamoDB table available, use that to store a
checksum of the last written state, so the object can be verified by the
next client to call Get.
Terraform currently doesn't have any sort of user feedback around
RefreshState/Get, so we poll only for a short time before returning an
error.
