Some diagnostic sources (I'm looking at you, HCL) fail to set the end of
the subject range. This is a bug in those code paths, but we can ensure
that we generate valid JSON diagnostics by checking for it here.
By doing so before the range normalization, we ensure that we generate a
unit width highlight whenever possible, so that at least something
useful is displayed.
If the user gives an index-less address for a resource that expects
instance keys then previously we would've emitted one error per declared
instance of the resource, which is overwhelming and not especially
helpful.
Instead, we'll deal with that check prior to expanding resources into
resource instances, and thus we can report a single error which talks
about all of the instances at once.
This does unfortunately come at the expense of splitting the logic for
dealing with the "force replace" addresses into two places, which will
likely make later maintenance harder. In an attempt to mitigate that,
I've included a comment in each place that mentions the other place, which
hopefully future maintainers will keep up-to-date if that situation
changes.
This allows a similar effect to pre-tainting an object but does the action
within the context of a normal plan and apply, avoiding the need for an
intermediate state where the old object still exists but is marked as
tainted.
The core functionality for this was already present, so this commit is
just the UI-level changes to make that option available for use and to
explain how it contributed to the resulting plan in Terraform's output.
If a root modules declares a required_provider but has no configuration,
add a graph node for the provider as if there were an empty
configuration. This will allow the provider to be referenced by name in
module call provider maps, so that a module can pass a default provider
by name to a submodule.
Normally these nodes are added by the MissingProviderTransformer, but
they need to be in place earlier to resolve any possible "proxy provider
nodes" within modules.
When rendering a plan diff, sensitive resource attributes would
previously omit the "forces replacement" comment, which can lead to
confusion when the only reason for a resource being replaced is a
sensitive attribute.
It's been a long time since we gave this page an overhaul, and with our
ongoing efforts to make plan and apply incorporate all of the side-effects
that might need to be done against a configuration it seems like a good
time for some restructuring in that vein.
The starting idea here is to formally split the many "terraform plan"
options into a few different categories:
- Planning modes
- Planning options
- Other options
The planning modes and options are the subset that are also accepted by
"terraform apply" when it's running in its default mode of generating a
plan and then prompting for interactive approval of it. This then allows
us to avoid duplicating all of that information on the "terraform apply"
page, and thus allows us to spend more words discussing each of them.
This set of docs is intended as a fresh start into which we'll be able to
more surgically add in the information about -refresh-only and -replace=...
once we have those implemented. Consequently there are some parts of this
which may seem a little overwraught for what it's currently describing;
that's a result of my having prepared this by just deleting the
-refresh-only and -replace=... content from our initial docs draft and
submitted the result, in anticipation of re-adding the parts I've deleted
here in the very near future in other commits.
This is to make it more obvious at all uses of this field that it's not
something to be used for anything other than UI decisions, hopefully
prompting a reader of code elsewhere to refer to the comments to
understand why it has this unusual prefix and thus see what its intended
purpose is.
This only includes the internal mechanisms to make it work, and not any
of the necessary UI changes to "terraform plan" and "terraform apply" to
activate it yet.
The force-replace options are ultimately handled inside the
NodeAbstractResourceInstance.plan method, at the same place we handle the
similar situation of the provider indicating that replacement is needed,
and so the rest of the changes here are just to propagate the settings
through all of the layers in order to reach that point.
This only includes the core mechanisms to make it work. There's not yet
any way to turn this mode on as an end-user, because we have to do some
more work at the UI layer to present this well before we could include it
as an end-user-visible feature in a release.
At the lowest level of abstraction inside the graph nodes themselves, this
effectively mirrors the existing option to disable refreshing with a new
option to disable change-planning, so that either "half" of the process
can be disabled. As far as the nodes are concerned it would be possible
in principle to disable _both_, but the higher-level representation of
these modes prevents that combination from reaching Terraform Core in
practice, because we block using -refresh-only and -refresh=false at the
same time.
Previously we were repeating some logic in the UI layer in order to
recover relevant additional context about a change to report to a user.
In order to help keep things consistent, and to have a clearer path for
adding more such things in the future, here we capture this user-facing
idea of an "action reason" within the plan model, and then use that
directly in order to decide how to describe the change to the user.
For the moment the "tainted" situation is the only one that gets a special
message, matching what we had before, but we can expand on this in future
in order to give better feedback about the other replace situations too.
This also preemptively includes the "replacing by request" reason, which
is currently not reachable but will be used in the near future as part of
implementing the -replace=... plan command line option to allow forcing
a particular object to be replaced.
So far we don't have any special reasons for anything other than replacing,
which makes sense because replacing is the only one that is in a sense
a special case of another action (Update), but this could expand to
other kinds of reasons in the future, such as explaining which of the
few different reasons a data source read might be deferred until the
apply step.
There were some remaining calls to provider where configuration could be
added to diagnostics, where warnings would not get config annotations,
or the diagnostics were skipped entirely.
So far we've only had "normal mode" and "destroy mode", where the latter
is activated either by "terraform plan -destroy" or "terraform destroy".
In preparation for introducing a third mode "refresh only" this
generalizes how we handle modes so we can potentially deal with an
arbitrary number of modes, although for now we only intend to have three.
Mostly this is just a different implementation of the same old behavior,
but there is one small user-visible difference here: the "terraform apply"
command now accepts a -destroy option, mirroring the option of the same
name on "terraform plan", which in turn makes "terraform destroy"
effectively a shorthand for "terraform apply -destroy".
This is intended to make us consistent that "terraform apply" without a
plan file argument accepts all of the same plan-customization options that
"terraform plan" does, which will in turn avoid us having to add a new
alias of "terraform plan" for each new plan mode we might add. The -help
output is changed in that vein here, although we'll wait for subsequent
commit to make a similar change to the website documentation just so we
can deal with the "refresh only mode" docs at the same time.
Previously there were only two planning modes: normal mode and destroy
mode. In that context it made sense for these to be distinguished only by
a boolean flag.
We're now getting ready to add our third mode, "refresh only". This
establishes the idea that planning can be done in one of a number of
mutually-exclusive "modes", which are related to but separate from the
various other options that serve as modifiers for the plan operation.
This commit only introduces the new plans.Mode type and replaces the
existing "destroy" flag with a variable of that type. This doesn't cause
any change in effective behavior because Terraform Core still supports
only NormalMode and DestroyMode, with NewContext rejecting an attempt to
create a RefreshMode context for now.
It is in retrospect a little odd that the "destroy" flag was part of
ContextOpts rather than just an argument to the Plan method, but
refactoring that would be too invasive a change for right now so we'll
leave this as a field of the context for now and save revisiting that for
another day.
When rendering a stored plan file as JSON, we include a data structure
representing the sensitivity of the changed resource values. Prior to
this commit, this was a direct representation of the sensitivity marks
applied to values via mechanisms such as sensitive variables, sensitive
outputs, and the `sensitive` function.
This commit extends this to include sensitivity based on the provider
schema. This is in line with the UI rendering of the plan, which
considers these two different types of sensitivity to be equivalent.

* lang/funcs: add (console-only) TypeFunction
The type() function, which is only available for terraform console,
prints out the type of a given value. This is mainly intended for
debugging - it's nice to be able to print out terraform's understanding
of a complex variable.
This introduces a new field for Scope: ConsoleMode. When ConsoleMode is true, any additional functions intended for use in the console (only) may be added.
When logging in to Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise, change the
success output to be a bit more customized for the platform. For
Terraform Cloud, fetch a dynamic welcome banner that intentionally fails
open and defaults to a hardcoded message if its not available for any
reason.
Defaults will now preserve marks from non-null inputs and apply marks from any default values used. I've added tests for various structural types with marks, as well as some basic unknown cases.
This commit adds test cases to TestTranspose to document how this function handles marks.
The short version is that any marks anywhere will be applied to the return value, be they marks on the input map or marks on elements (either the entire list of strings, or individual elemnets of those lists).
Non-root module outputs no longer strip sensitivity marks from their
values, allowing dynamically sensitive values to propagate through the
configuration. We also remove the requirement for non-root module
outputs to be defined as sensitive if the value is marked as sensitive.
This avoids a static/dynamic clash when using shared modules that might
unknowingly receive sensitive values via input variables.

This includes the improvements to various collection-related functions to
make them handle marks more precisely. For Terraform in particular that
translates into handling sensitivity more precisely, so that non-sensitive
collections that happen to contain sensitive elements won't get simplified
into wholly-sensitive collections when using these functions.
