This change makes various minor adjustments to the rendering of plans
in the output of "terraform plan":
- Resources are identified using the standard resource address syntax,
rather than exposing the legacy internal representation used in the
module diff resource keys. This fixes#8713.
- Subjectively, having square brackets in the addresses made it look more
visually "off" when the same name but with different indices were
shown together with differing-length "symbols", so the symbols are now
all padded and right-aligned to three characters for consistent layout
across all operations.
- The -/+ action is now more visually distinct, using several different
colors to help communicate what it will do and including a more obvious
"(new resource required)" marker to help draw attention to this not
being just an update diff. This fixes#15350.
- The resources are now sorted in a manner that sorts index [10] after
index [9], rather than after index [1] as we did before. This makes it
easier to scan the list and avoids the common confusion where it seems
that there are only 10 items when in fact there are 11-20 items with
all the tens hiding further up in the list.
This is a specialized thin wrapper around parseResourceAddressInternal
that can be used to obtain a ResourceAddress from the keys in
ModuleDiff.Resources.
This is not something we'd ideally expose, but since the internal address
format is already exposed in the ModuleDiff object this ends up being
necessary to process the ModuleDiff from other packages, e.g. for
display in the UI.
Lexicographic sorting by the string form produces the wrong result because
[9] sorts after [10], so this custom comparison function takes that into
account and compares each portion separately to get a more intuitive
result.
This transformer is no longer needed, as we are not transforming
scale-out resource nodes into plannable nodes anymore, but rather just
taking a different eval sequence for resource refresh nodes with no
state.
This test ensures that the right EvalSequence gets set for a refresh
node with no state. This will ultimately assert that nodes on scale out
will not go down the regular refresh path, which would result in an
error due to the nil state - instead, we stub this node so that we get a
diff on it that can be used to effect computed/unknown values on
interpolations that may depend on this node.
Previously init would crash if given these options:
-backend=false -get-plugins=true
This is because the state is used as a source of provider dependency
information, and we need to instantiate the backend to get the state.
To avoid the crash, we now use the following adjusted behavior:
- if -backend=true, we behave as before
- if -backend=false, we instead try to instantiate the backend the same
way any other command would, without modifying its configuration
- if we're able to instantiate the backend, we use it to fetch state
for dependency resolution purposes
- if the backend is not instantiable then we assume it's not yet
configured and proceed with a nil state, which may cause us to see an
incomplete picture of the dependencies but still allows the install
to succeed. Subsequently running "terraform plan" will not work until
the backend is (re-)initialized, so the incomplete picture of required
plugins is safe.
This takes care of a few dangling cases where we were still stringifying
empty version constraints, which creates confusing error messages due to
it stringing as the empty string.
For the "no suitable versions available" message, we fall back on the
"provider not found" message if no versions were found even though it's
unconstrained. This should only happen in an edge case where the
provider's index page exists on the releases server but no versions are
yet present.
For the message about plugin protocol versions, this again is an edge
case since with no constraints this should happen only if we release
an incompatible Terraform version but don't release a new version of the
plugin that's compatible. In this case we just show the constraint as
"(any version)" to make sure we always show _something_.
Since the transformer that changed stateless nodes in refresh to
NodePlannableResourceInstance is not being used anymore, this test
needed to be adjusted to ensure that the right output was expected.
Changed the language of this field to indicate that this diff is not a
"real" diff, in that it should not be acted on, versus a "quiet" mode,
which would indicate just simply to act silently.
Previously we only did this when _upgrading_, but that's unnecessarily
specific and confusing since e.g. plugins can get upgraded implicitly by
constraint changes, which would not then trigger the purge process.
Instead, we'll assume that the user is able to easily re-download plugins
that were purged here, or if they need more specific guarantees they will
manage manually a plugin directory and disable the auto-install behavior
using `-plugin-dir`.
Now we are able to recognize and handle a few special error situations
from plugin installation with more verbose error messages that give the
user better feedback on how to proceed.
Some errors from Get are essentially user error, so we want to be able to
recognize them and give the user good feedback on how to proceed.
Although sentinel values are not an ideal solution to this, it's something
reasonably simple we can do to get this done without lots of refactoring.
Fetch the SHA256SUMS file and verify it's signature before downloading
any plugins.
This embeds the hashicorp public key in the binary. If the publickey is
replaced, new releases will need to be cut anyway. A
--verify-plugin=false flag will be added to skip signature verification
in these cases.
This fixes a bug with the new refresh graph behaviour where a resource
was being counted twice in the UI on part of being scaled out:
* We are no longer transforming refresh nodes without state to
plannable resources (the transformer will be removed shortly)
* A Quiet flag has been added to EvalDiff and InstanceDiff - this
allows for the flagging of a diff that should not be treated as real
diff for purposes of planning
* When there is no state for a refresh node now, a new path is taken
that is similar to plan, but flags Quiet, and does nothing with the
diff afterwards.
Tests pending - light testing has confirmed this should fix the double
count issue, but we should have some tests to actually confirm the bug.
This guide covers assorted best practices and caveats for running
Terraform within orchestration tools and other automation. It provides
general examples and guidance, with the intent that this advice can be
adapted by the reader to a concrete implementation within a selected
orchestration tool.
This guide is based both on our in-house experience with Terraform
Enterprise and on in-house solutions we are aware of in certain
organizations.
Previously the behavior for -target when given a module address was to
target only resources directly within that module, ignoring any resources
defined in child modules.
This behavior turned out to be counter-intuitive, since users expected
the -target address to be interpreted hierarchically.
We'll now use the new "Contains" function for addresses, which provides
a hierarchical "containment" concept that is more consistent with user
expectations. In particular, it allows module.foo to match
module.foo.module.bar.aws_instance.baz, where before that would not have
been true.
Since Contains isn't commutative (unlike Equals) this requires some
special handling for targeting specific indices. When given an argument
like -target=aws_instance.foo[0], the initial graph construction (for
both plan and refresh) is for the resource nodes from configuration, which
have not yet been expanded to separate indexed instances. Thus we need
to do the first pass of TargetsTransformer in mode where indices are
ignored, with the work then completed by the DynamicExpand method which
re-applies the TargetsTransformer in index-sensitive mode.
This is a breaking change for anyone depending on the previous behavior
of -target, since it will now select more resources than before. There is
no way provided to obtain the previous behavior. Eventually we may support
negative targeting, which could then combine with positive targets to
regain the previous behavior as an explicit choice.
This is similar in purpose to Equals but it takes a hierarchical approach
where modules contain their child modules, resources are contained by
their modules, and indexed resource instances are contained by their
resource names.
Unlike "Equals", Contains is intended to be transitive, so if A contains B
and B contains C, then C necessarily contains A. It is also directional:
if A contains B then B does not also contain A unless A and B are
identical. This results in more intuitive behavior for use-cases where
the goal is to select a portion of the address space for an operation.
Since the command package also needs to know about the specific OS_ARCH
directories, remove the logic fom the discovery package.
This doesn't completely remove the knowledge of the path from discovery,
in order to maintain the current behavior of skipping legacy plugin
names within a new-style path.
