Previously, `terraform init` was throwing an error if you configured the cloud
block with `tags` and there weren't any tagged workspaces yet. Confusing and
alienating, since that that's a fairly normal situation! Basically TFC was
handling an empty list of workspaces worse than other backends, because it
doesn't support an unnamed default workspace.
This commit catches that condition during `Meta.selectBackend()` and asks the
user to pick a name for their first tagged workspace. If they cancel out, we
still error, but if we know what name they want, we can handle it the same way
as a nonexistent workspace specified in `name` -- just pass it to
`Meta.SetWorkspace()`, and let the workspace get implicitly created when
`InitCommand.Run()` eventually calls `StateMgr()`.
Based on feedback during earlier alpha releases, we've decided to move
forward with the current design for the first phase of config-driven
refactoring.
Therefore here we've marked the experiment as concluded with no changes
to the most recent incarnation of the functionality. The other changes
here are all just updating test fixtures to no longer declare that they
are using experimental features.
When using the Terraform Cloud integration - like the 'remote'
backend - resource count output should be suppressed if those counts are
being rendered remotely. This generalizes this to the shared
BackendWithRemoteTerraformVersion interface.
A more native integration for Terraform Cloud and its CLI-driven run workflow.
Instead of a backend, users declare a special block in the top-level terraform settings
block to configure Terraform Cloud, then run terraform init.
Full documentation will follow in later commits.
There are actually a few different ways to get to this message.
1. Blank state — no previous terraform applied. Start with a cloud block.
1. Implicit local — start with no backend specified. This actually goes
through the same code execution path as the first scenario.
1. Explicit local — start with a backend local block that has been
applied, then change from the local backend to a cloud block. This
will recognize the state, and is a different path through the code in
the meta backend.
This commit handles the last case. The messaging has also been tweaked.
End to end test included as well.
When a user runs `terraform refresh` we give them an error message that
tells them to run `terraform apply -refresh-state`. We could just run
that command for them, though. That is what this PR does.
* determining source or destination to cloud
* handling single to single state migrations to cloud,
using a name strategy or a tags strategy
* Add end-to-end tests for state migration.
With the alternative block introduced in 7bf9b2c7b, this removes the
ability to explicitly declare the 'cloud' backend. The literal backend
interface is an implementation detail and no longer a user-level
concept when using Terraform Cloud.
This is a replacement declaration for using Terraform Cloud as a remote
backend, leaving the literal backend as an implementation detail and not
a user-level concept.
When running `terraform init` against a backend with multiple
workspaces, none of which are the currently indicated local workspace,
Terraform prompts the user to choose a workspace from the list. In
automation, using the `-input=false` argument should disable asking for
input, but previously would hang instead.
When an explicit backend is configured with a configuration which has
not yet been initialized, running `terraform init` performs a state
migration to fetch the remotely stored state in order to operate on it.
Like the previous bug introduced by the recent provider diagnostics
change, this code path was not correctly configured to enable init mode
for the backend, which resulted in a fatal error during init when the
cache dir is deleted.
Setting the `Init` backend option allows this code path to continue
without error when first initializing the backend for state migration.
The new e2e test fails without this change.
When migrating state to an existing Terraform Cloud workspace using the
remote backend, we check the remote version is compatible with the local
one by default.
This commit fixes two bugs in this code:
- If using the "name" strategy for the remote backend, the list of
destination workspaces is empty. This resulted in no version checking
of the remote workspace, and we fell back to the string equality
check.
- The user-specified CLI flag `-ignore-remote-version` was not being
applied for the state migration version checking.
The init command needs to initialize a backend, in order to access
state, in turn to derive provider requirements from state. The backend
initialization step requires building provider factories, which
previously would fail if a lockfile was present without a corresponding
local provider cache.
This commit ensures that in this situation only, errors with the
provider factories are temporarily ignored. This allows us to continue
to initialize the backend, fetch providers, and then report any errors
as necessary.
We test that a deleted provider cache results in an error when running
terraform plan, but previously did not test that running init (as
instructed) would resolve the issue. This (failing) e2e test adds that
step.
We introduced this experiment to gather feedback, and the feedback we saw
led to us deciding to do another round of design work before we move
forward with something to meet this use-case.
In addition to being experimental, this has only been included in alpha
releases so far, and so on both counts it is not protected by the
Terraform v1.0 Compatibility Promises.
The -lock and -lock-timeout flags were removed prior to the release of
1.0 as they were thought to have no effect. This is not true in the case
of state migrations when changing backends. This commit restores these
flags, and adds test coverage for locking during backend state
migration.
Also update the help output describing other boolean flags, showing the
argument as the user would type it rather than the default behavior.
There is a race between the MockSource and ShutdownCh which sometimes
causes this test to fail. Add a HangingSource implementation of Source
which hangs until the context is cancelled, so that there is always time
for a user-initiated shutdown to trigger the cancellation code path
under test.
Previously we would reject attempts to delete a workspace if its state
contained any resources at all, even if none of the resources had any
resource instance objects associated with it.
Nowadays there isn't any situation where the normal Terraform workflow
will leave behind resource husks, and so this isn't as problematic as it
might've been in the v0.12 era, but nonetheless what we actually care
about for this check is whether there might be any remote objects that
this state is tracking, and for that it's more precise to look for
non-nil resource instance objects, rather than whole resources.
This also includes some adjustments to our error messaging to give more
information about the problem and to use terminology more consistent with
how we currently talk about this situation in our documentation and
elsewhere in the UI.
We were also using the old State.HasResources method as part of some of
our tests. I considered preserving it to avoid changing the behavior of
those tests, but the new check seemed close enough to the intent of those
tests that it wasn't worth maintaining this method that wouldn't be used
in any main code anymore. I've therefore updated those tests to use
the new HasResourceInstanceObjects method instead.
