The providers schema command is using the Config.ProviderTypes method,
which had not been kept up to date with the changes to provider
requirements detection made in Config.ProviderRequirements. This
resulted in any currently-unused providers being omitted from the
output.
This commit changes the ProviderTypes method to use the same underlying
logic as ProviderRequirements, which ensures that `required_providers`
blocks are taken into account.
Includes an integration test case to verify that this fixes the provider
schemas command bug.
The version argument is deprecated in Terraform v0.14 in favor of
required_providers and will be removed in a future version of terraform
(expected to be v0.15). The provider configuration documentation already
discourages use of 'version' inside provider configuration blocks, so it
only needed an extra note that it is actively deprecated.
An invalid type name in a resource (or data source) could cause a panic
when determining the implied provider for the resource. This commit adds
verification that the type name is valid. It does not add a diagnostic,
since the invalid type name would have already been caught by the
parser.
Fixes#25560
The main motivation here is to produce a helpful error if a user
incorrectly uses the terraform-provider- prefix (which we see on provider
VCS repositories and plugin executables) as part of the source address.
However, this also more broadly blocks "terraform-" as a prefix in
anticipation of whatever instinct causes the phenomenon where e.g.
Python's PyPI has thousands of packages whose names start with "python-",
even though everything on PyPI is for Python by definition. This is
definitely not _necessary_, but it's better to be restrictive at first
and weaken later as needed.
If a resource's "provider" reference is invalid and cannot be parsed, we
should not store the reference as part of a `ProviderConfigRef`. Doing
so creates an invalid data structure, which prevents us from using
`MustParseProviderPart` with the name in later steps.
The invalid test files added in this commit will cause a panic without
the code change.
In a recent PR, we changed the provider requirements code to permit
per-module requirements gathering, to enhance the provider command
output. This had an incorrect implementation of recursive requirements
gathering for the normal case, which resulted in only depth-1 modules
being inspected.
This commit fixes the broken recursion and adds a grandchild module to
the unit tests as test coverage. This also demanded fixing the
testNestedModuleConfigFromDir helper function to cope with nested
modules in test configs.
Providers can be required from multiple sources. The previous
implementation of the providers sub-command displayed only a flat list
of provider requirements, which made it difficult to see which modules
required each provider.
This commit reintroduces the tree display of provider requirements, and
adds a separate output block for providers required by existing state.
All of the feedback from the experiment described enhancements that can
potentially be added later without breaking changes, so this change simply
removes the experiment gate from the feature as originally implemented
with no changes to its functionality.
Further enhancements may follow in later releases, but the goal of this
change is just to ship the feature exactly as it was under the experiment.
Most of the changes here are cleaning up the experiment opt-ins from our
test cases. The most important parts are in configs/experiments.go and in
experiments/experiment.go .
* addrs: replace NewLegacyProvider with NewDefaultProvider in ParseProviderSourceString
ParseProviderSourceString was still defaulting to NewLegacyProvider when
encountering single-part strings. This has been fixed.
This commit also adds a new function, IsProviderPartNormalized, which
returns a bool indicating if the string given is the same as a
normalized version (as normalized by ParseProviderPart) or an error.
This is intended for use by the configs package when decoding provider
configurations.
* terraform: fix provider local names in tests
* configs: validate that all provider names are normalized
The addrs package normalizes all source strings, but not the local
names. This caused very odd behavior if for e.g. a provider local name
was capitalized in one place and not another. We considered enabling
case-sensitivity for provider local names, but decided that since this
was not something that worked in previous versions of terraform (and we
have yet to encounter any use cases for this feature) we could generate
an error if the provider local name is not normalized. This error also
provides instructions on how to fix it.
* configs: refactor decodeProviderRequirements to consistently not set an FQN when there are errors
Previously, resources without explicit provider configuration (i.e. a
`provider =` attribute) would be assigned a default provider based upon
the resource type. For example, a resource `foo_bar` would be assigned
provider `hashicorp/foo`.
This behaviour did not work well with community or partner providers,
with sources configured in `terraform.required_providers` blocks. With
the following configuration:
terraform {
required_providers {
foo = {
source = "acme/foo"
}
}
}
resource foo_bar "a" { }
the resource would be configured with the `hashicorp/foo` provider.
This commit fixes this implied provider behaviour. First we look for a
provider with local name matching the resource type in the module's
required providers map. If one is found, this provider is assigned to
the resource. Otherwise, we still fall back to a default provider.
We now permit at most one `required_providers` block per module (except
for overrides). This prevents users (and Terraform) from struggling to
understand how to merge multiple `required_providers` configurations,
with `version` and `source` attributes split across multiple blocks.
Because only one `required_providers` block is permitted, there is no
need to concatenate version constraints and resolve them. This allows us
to simplify the structs used to represent provider requirements,
aligning more closely with other structs in this package.
This commit also fixes a semantic use-before-initialize bug, where
resources defined before a `required_providers` block would be unable to
use its source attribute. We achieve this by processing the module's
`required_providers` configuration (and overrides) before resources.
Overrides for `required_providers` work as before, replacing the entire
block per provider.
The providers command has been refactored to use the modern provider types and
ProviderRequirements() functions. This resulted in a breaking change to
the output: it no longer outputs the providers by module and no longer
prints `(inherited)` or `(from state)` to show why a provider is
included. We decided that at this time it was best to stick with the
existing functions and make this change, but if we get feedback from the
community we will revisit.
Additional tests to exercise providers in modules and providers from
state have been included.
With provider dependencies now appearing inside a nested block, it seems
likely that configuration examples showing dependencies out of context
will sometimes mislead users into thinking that required_providers is
toplevel.
To give better feedback in that situation, we'll produce a specialized
error in that case hinting the correct structure to the user.
This encapsulates the logic for selecting an implied FQN for an
unqualified type name, which could either come from a local name used in
a module without specifying an explicit source for it or from the prefix
of a resource type on a resource that doesn't explicitly set "provider".
This replaces the previous behavior of just directly calling
NewDefaultProvider everywhere so that we can use a different implication
for the local name "terraform", to refer to the built-in terraform
provider rather than the stale one that's on registry.terraform.io for
compatibility with other Terraform versions.
We've been using the models from the "moduledeps" package to represent our
provider dependencies everywhere since the idea of provider dependencies
was introduced in Terraform 0.10, but that model is not convenient to use
for any use-case other than the "terraform providers" command that needs
individual-module-level detail.
To make things easier for new codepaths working with the new-style
provider installer, here we introduce a new model type
getproviders.Requirements which is based on the type the new installer was
already taking as its input. We have new methods in the states, configs,
and earlyconfig packages to produce values of this type, and a helper
to merge Requirements together so we can combine config-derived and
state-derived requirements together during installation.
The advantage of this new model over the moduledeps one is that all of
recursive module walking is done up front and we produce a simple, flat
structure that is more convenient for the main use-cases of selecting
providers for installation and then finding providers in the local cache
to use them for other operations.
This new model is _not_ suitable for implementing "terraform providers"
because it does not retain module-specific requirement details. Therefore
we will likely keep using moduledeps for "terraform providers" for now,
and then possibly at a later time consider specializing the moduledeps
logic for only what "terraform providers" needs, because it seems to be
the only use-case that needs to retain that level of detail.
* terraform: large refactor to use Provider from configs.Resource
configs.Resource.ImpliedProvider() now returns a string; it is the
callers' responsibility to turn that into an addrs.Provider if needed.
GraphNodeProviderConsumer ProvidedBy() no longer returns nil (reverting
to earlier, pre-provider-fqn behavior): it will return either the
provider set in config, provider set in state, or the default provider.
* configs: parse provider source string during module merge
This was the smallest unit of work needed to start writing provider
source tests!
* Update configs/parser_test.go

The provider FQN is becoming our primary identifier for a provider, so
it's important that we are clear about the equality rules for these
addresses and what characters are valid within them.
We previously had a basic regex permitting ASCII letters and digits for
validation and no normalization at all. We need to do at least case
folding and UTF-8 normalization because these names will appear in file
and directory names in case-insensitive filesystems and in repository
names such as on GitHub.
Since we're already using DNS-style normalization and validation rules
for the hostname part, rather than defining an entirely new set of rules
here we'll just treat the provider namespace and type as if they were
single labels in a DNS name. Aside from some internal consistency, that
also works out nicely because systems like GitHub use organization and
repository names as part of hostnames (e.g. with GitHub Pages) and so
tend to apply comparable constraints themselves.
This introduces the possibility of names containing letters from alphabets
other than the latin alphabet, and for latin letters with diacritics.
That's consistent with our introduction of similar support for identifiers
in the language in Terraform 0.12, and is intended to be more friendly to
Terraform users throughout the world that might prefer to name their
products using a different alphabet. This is also a further justification
for using the DNS normalization rules: modern companies tend to choose
product names that make good domain names, and now such names will be
usable as Terraform provider names too.
* Introduce "Local" terminology for non-absolute provider config addresses
In a future change AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig are going to
become two entirely distinct types, rather than Abs embedding Local as
written here. This naming change is in preparation for that subsequent
work, which will also include introducing a new "ProviderConfig" type
that is an interface that AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig both
implement.
This is intended to be largely just a naming change to get started, so
we can deal with all of the messy renaming. However, this did also require
a slight change in modeling where the Resource.DefaultProviderConfig
method has become Resource.DefaultProvider returning a Provider address
directly, because this method doesn't have enough information to construct
a true and accurate LocalProviderConfig -- it would need to refer to the
configuration to know what this module is calling the provider it has
selected.
In order to leave a trail to follow for subsequent work, all of the
changes here are intended to ensure that remaining work will become
obvious via compile-time errors when all of the following changes happen:
- The concept of "legacy" provider addresses is removed from the addrs
package, including removing addrs.NewLegacyProvider and
addrs.Provider.LegacyString.
- addrs.AbsProviderConfig stops having addrs.LocalProviderConfig embedded
in it and has an addrs.Provider and a string alias directly instead.
- The provider-schema-handling parts of Terraform core are updated to
work with addrs.Provider to identify providers, rather than legacy
strings.
In particular, there are still several codepaths here making legacy
provider address assumptions (in order to limit the scope of this change)
but I've made sure each one is doing something that relies on at least
one of the above changes not having been made yet.
* addrs: ProviderConfig interface
In a (very) few special situations in the main "terraform" package we need
to make runtime decisions about whether a provider config is absolute
or local.
We currently do that by exploiting the fact that AbsProviderConfig has
LocalProviderConfig nested inside of it and so in the local case we can
just ignore the wrapping AbsProviderConfig and use the embedded value.
In a future change we'll be moving away from that embedding and making
these two types distinct in order to represent that mapping between them
requires consulting a lookup table in the configuration, and so here we
introduce a new interface type ProviderConfig that can represent either
AbsProviderConfig or LocalProviderConfig decided dynamically at runtime.
This also includes the Config.ResolveAbsProviderAddr method that will
eventually be responsible for that local-to-absolute translation, so
that callers with access to the configuration can normalize to an
addrs.AbsProviderConfig given a non-nil addrs.ProviderConfig. That's
currently unused because existing callers are still relying on the
simplistic structural transform, but we'll switch them over in a later
commit.
* rename LocalType to LocalName

The existing "type" argument allows specifying a type constraint that
allows for some basic validation, but often there are more constraints on
a variable value than just its type.
This new feature (requiring an experiment opt-in for now, while we refine
it) allows specifying arbitrary validation rules for any variable which
can then cause custom error messages to be returned when a caller provides
an inappropriate value.
variable "example" {
validation {
condition = var.example != "nope"
error_message = "Example value must not be \"nope\"."
}
}
The core parts of this are designed to do as little new work as possible
when no validations are specified, and thus the main new checking codepath
here can therefore only run when the experiment is enabled in order to
permit having validations.
Traditionally we've preferred to release new language features in major
releases only, because we can then use the beta cycle to gather feedback
on the feature and learn about any usability challenges or other
situations we didn't consider during our design in time to make those
changes before inclusion in a stable release.
This "experiments" feature is intended to decouple the feedback cycle for
new features from the major release rhythm, and thus allow us to release
new features in minor releases by first releasing them as experimental for
a minor release or two, adjust for any feedback gathered during that
period, and then finally remove the experiment gate and enable the feature
for everyone.
The intended model here is that anything behind an experiment gate is
subject to breaking changes even in patch releases, and so any module
using these experimental features will be broken by a future Terraform
upgrade.
The behavior implemented here is:
- Recognize a new "experiments" setting in the "terraform" block which
allows module authors to explicitly opt in to experimental features.
terraform {
experiments = [resource_for_each]
}
- Generate a warning whenever loading a module that has experiments
enabled, to avoid accidentally depending on experimental features and
thus risking unexpected breakage on next Terraform upgrade.
- We check the enabled experiments against the configuration at module
load time, which means that experiments are scoped to a particular
module. Enabling an experiment in one module does not automatically
enable it in any other module.
This experiments mechanism is itself an experiment, and so I'd like to
use the resource for_each feature to trial it. Because any configuration
using experiments is subject to breaking changes, we are free to adjust
this experiments feature in future releases as we see fit, but once
for_each is shipped without an experiment gate we'll be blocked from
making significant changes to it until the next major release at least.
Add deprecation warning for references from destroy provisioners or
their connections to external resources or values. In order to ensure
resource destruction can be completed correctly, destroy nodes must be
able to evaluate with only their instance state.
We have sufficient information to validate destroy-time provisioners
early on during the config loading process. Later on these can be
converted to hard errors, and only allow self, count.index, and each.key
in destroy provisioners. Limited the provisioner and block evaluation
scope later on is tricky, but if the references can never be loaded,
then they will never be encountered during evaluation.
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.
This also fixes a few things with resource for_each:
It makes validation more like validation for count.
It makes sure the index is stored in the state properly.
When loading nested modules, the child module diagnostics were dropped
in the recursive function. This mean that the config from the submodules
wasn't fully loaded, even though no errors were reported to the user.
This caused further problems if the plan was stored in a plan file, when
means only the partial configuration was stored for the subsequent apply
operation, which would result in unexplained "Resource node has no
configuration attached" errors later on.
Also due to the child module diagnostics being lost, any newly added
nested modules would be silently ignored until `init` was run again
manually.
