Meta.backendConfig was incorrectly treating the second return value from
loadBackendConfig as if it were go "error" rather than
tfdiags.Diagnostics, which in turn meant that it would treat warnings like
errors.
This had confusing results because it still returned that
tfdiags.Diagnostics value in its own diagnostics return value, causing the
caller to see warnings even though the backendConfig function had taken
the error codepath.
* backend/remote: Filter environment variables when loading context
Following up on #23122, the remote system (Terraform Cloud or
Enterprise) serves environment and Terraform variables using a single
type of object. We only should load Terraform variables into the
Terraform context.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/23283.
Following on from de652e22a26b, this introduces deprecation warnings for
when an attribute value expression is a template with only a single
interpolation sequence, and for variable type constraints given in quotes.
As with the previous commit, we allowed these deprecated forms with no
warning for a few releases after v0.12.0 to ensure that folks who need to
write cross-compatible modules for a while during upgrading would be able
to do so, but we're now marking these as explicitly deprecated to guide
users towards the new idiomatic forms.
The "terraform 0.12upgrade" tool would've already updated configurations
to not hit these warnings for those who had pre-existing configurations
written for Terraform 0.11.
The main target audience for these warnings are newcomers to Terraform who
are learning from existing examples already published in various spots on
the wider internet that may be showing older Terraform syntax, since those
folks will not be running their configurations through the upgrade tool.
These warnings will hopefully guide them towards modern Terraform usage
during their initial experimentation, and thus reduce the chances of
inadvertently adopting the less-readable legacy usage patterns in
greenfield projects.
Terraform 0.12.0 removed the need for putting references and keywords
in quotes, but we disabled the deprecation warnings for the initial
release in order to avoid creating noise for folks who were intentionally
attempting to maintain modules that were cross-compatible with both
Terraform 0.11 and Terraform 0.12.
However, with Terraform 0.12 now more widely used, the lack of these
warnings seems to be causing newcomers to copy the quoted versions from
existing examples on the internet, which is perpetuating the old and
confusing quoted form in newer configurations.
In preparation for phasing out these deprecated forms altogether in a
future major release, and for the shorter-term benefit of giving better
feedback to newcomers when they are learning from outdated examples, we'll
now re-enable those deprecation warnings, and be explicit that the old
forms are intended for removal in a future release.
In order to properly test this, we establish a new set of test
configurations that explicitly mark which warnings they are expecting and
verify that they do indeed produce those expected warnings. We also
verify that the "success" tests do _not_ produce warnings, while removing
the ones that were previously written to succeed but have their warnings
ignored.
I've seen folks ask about how to express this in resource address syntax
a number of times now, so adding this example here to illustrate how it
looks when there are multiple levels of module to traverse through.
This is redundant with other information further up the page, but having
it as an entirely separate example gives an opportunity to include more
introductory text to explain what the example is showing.
We have a special treatment for multi-line strings that are being updated
in-place where we show them across multiple lines in the plan output, but
we didn't use that same treatment for rendering multi-line strings in
isolation such as when they are being added for the first time.
Here we detect when we're rendering a multi-line string in a no-change
situation and render it using the diff renderer instead, using the same
value for old and new and thus producing a multi-line result without any
diff markers at all.
This improves consistency between the change and no-change cases, and
makes multi-line strings (such as YAML in block mode) readable in all
cases.
The DestroyEdgeTransformer cannot determine ordering from the graph when
the destroyers are from orphaned resources, because there are no
references to resolve. The new stored Dependencies provides what we need
to connect the instances in this case.
We also add the StateDependencies method directly in the
GraphNodeResourceInstance interface, since all instances already
implement this, and we don't need another optional interface to check.
The old code in DestroyEdgeTransformer may no longer be needed in the
long run, but that can be determined separately, since too many of the
tests start with an incomplete state and rely on the Dependencies being
determined from the configuration alone.
Refresh should load any new dependencies found because of configuration
or state changes, but retain any dependencies already in the state.
Orphaned resources would not be in config, but we do not want to lose
the destroy ordering for the later apply.
Make use of the new Dependencies field in the instance state.
The inter-instance dependencies will be determined from the complete
reference graph, so that absolute addresses can be stored, rather than
just references within a module. The Dependencies are added to the node
in the same manner as state, i.e. via an "attacher" interface and
transformer. This is because dependencies are calculated from the graph
itself, and not from the config.
There are some differences between the Terraform CLI and Terraform Cloud ideas of workspaces.
This documentation aims to explain those differences and show different patterns for configuring the remote backend and the implications of different approaches.
