This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
Previously we were using the experimental HCL 2 repository, but now we'll
shift over to the v2 import path within the main HCL repository as part of
actually releasing HCL 2.0 as stable.
This is a mechanical search/replace to the new import paths. It also
switches to the v2.0.0 release of HCL, which includes some new code that
Terraform didn't previously have but should not change any behavior that
matters for Terraform's purposes.
For the moment the experimental HCL2 repository is still an indirect
dependency via terraform-config-inspect, so it remains in our go.sum and
vendor directories for the moment. Because terraform-config-inspect uses
a much smaller subset of the HCL2 functionality, this does still manage
to prune the vendor directory a little. A subsequent release of
terraform-config-inspect should allow us to completely remove that old
repository in a future commit.
Our "Parse..." functions all take hcl.Traversal objects rather than strings,
assuming that in most cases we've already parsed a traversal out of some
larger construct (usually a config file) before interpreting it as an
address.
However, there are some situations -- particularly tests -- where being
able to easily parse a string directly is helpful. These new "Parse...Str"
functions all wrap the function of the same name with no "Str" suffix and
first parse the string with the HCL native syntax traversal parser.
As noted in the function doc comments, this should not be used in "real"
code except in exceptional circumstances, since it creates addresses and
diagnostics that do not have useful source location information for
reporting diagnostics.
This "kitchen sink" commit is mainly focused on supporting "targets" as
a new sub-category of addresses, for use-case like the -target CLI option,
but also includes some other functionality to get closer to replacing
terraform.ResourceAddress and fill out some missing parts for representing
various other address types that are currently represented as strings
in the "terraform" package.
