Previously we were expecting that the *hcl.File would always be non-nil,
even in error cases. That isn't always true, so now we'll be more robust
about it and explicitly return an empty locks object in that case, along
with the error diagnostics.
In particular this avoids a panic in a strange situation where the user
created a directory where the lock file would normally go. There's no
meaning to such a directory, so it would always be a mistake and so now
we'll return an error message about it, rather than panicking as before.
The error message for the situation where the lock file is a directory is
currently not very specific, but since it's HCL responsible for generating
that message we can't really fix that at this layer. Perhaps in future
we can change HCL to have a specialized error message for that particular
error situation, but for the sake of this commit the goal is only to
stop the panic and return a normal error message.
If a user forgets to specify the source address for a provider, Terraform
will assume they meant a provider in the registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/
namespace. If that ultimately doesn't exist, we'll now try to see if
there's some other provider source address recorded in the registry's
legacy provider lookup table, and suggest it if so.
The error message here is a terse one addressed primarily to folks who are
already somewhat familiar with provider source addresses and how to
specify them. Terraform v0.13 had a more elaborate version of this error
message which directed the user to try the v0.13 automatic upgrade tool,
but we no longer have that available in v0.14 and later so the user must
make the fix themselves.
The temporary directory on some systems (most notably MacOS) contains
symlinks, which would not be recorded by the installer. In order to make
these paths comparable in the tests we need to eval the symlinks in
the paths before giving them to the installer.
When logging is turned on, panicwrap will still see provider crashes and
falsely report them as core crashes, hiding the formatted provider
error. We can trick panicwrap by slightly obfuscating the error line.
When rendering a set of version constraints to a string, we normalize
partially-constrained versions. This means converting a version
like 2.68.* to 2.68.0.
Prior to this commit, this normalization was done after deduplication.
This could result in a version constraints string with duplicate
entries, if multiple partially-constrained versions are equivalent. This
commit fixes this by normalizing before deduplicating and sorting.
Previously we were only verifying locked hashes for local archive zip
files, but if we have non-ziphash hashes available then we can and should
also verify that a local directory matches at least one of them.
This does mean that folks using filesystem mirrors but yet also running
Terraform across multiple platforms will need to take some extra care to
ensure the hashes pass on all relevant platforms, which could mean using
"terraform providers lock" to pre-seed their lock files with hashes across
all platforms, or could mean using the "packed" directory layout for the
filesystem mirror so that Terraform will end up in the install-from-archive
codepath instead of this install-from-directory codepath, and can thus
verify ziphash too.
(There's no additional documentation about the above here because there's
already general information about this in the lock file documentation
due to some similar -- though not identical -- situations with network
mirrors.)
We previously had some tests for some happy paths and a few specific
failures into an empty directory with no existing locks, but we didn't
have tests for the installer respecting existing lock file entries.
This is a start on a more exhaustive set of tests for the installer,
aiming to visit as many of the possible codepaths as we can reasonably
test using this mocking strategy. (Some other codepaths require different
underlying source implementations, etc, so we'll have to visit those in
other tests separately.)
This won't be a typical usage pattern for normal code, but will be useful
for tests that need to work with locks as input so that they don't need to
write out a temporary file on disk just to read it back in immediately.
An earlier commit made this remove duplicates, which set the precedent
that this function is trying to canonically represent the _meaning_ of
the version constraints rather than exactly how they were expressed in
the configuration.
Continuing in that vein, now we'll also apply a consistent (though perhaps
often rather arbitrary) ordering to the terms, so that it doesn't change
due to irrelevant details like declarations being written in a different
order in the configuration.
The ordering here is intended to be reasonably intuitive for simple cases,
but constraint strings with many different constraints are hard to
interpret no matter how we order them so the main goal is consistency,
so those watching how the constraints change over time (e.g. in logs of
Terraform output, or in the dependency log file) will see fewer noisy
changes that don't actually mean anything.
Create a logger that will record any apparent crash output for later
processing.
If the cli command returns with a non-zero exit status, check for any
recorded crashes and add those to the output.
Now that hclog can independently set levels on related loggers, we can
separate the log levels for different subsystems in terraform.
This adds the new environment variables, `TF_LOG_CORE` and
`TF_LOG_PROVIDER`, which each take the same set of log level arguments,
and only applies to logs from that subsystem. This means that setting
`TF_LOG_CORE=level` will not show logs from providers, and
`TF_LOG_PROVIDER=level` will not show logs from core. The behavior of
`TF_LOG` alone does not change.
While it is not necessarily needed since the default is to disable logs,
there is also a new level argument of `off`, which reflects the
associated level in hclog.
A set of version constraints can contain duplicates. This can happen if
multiple identical constraints are specified throughout a configuration.
When rendering the set, it is confusing to display redundant
constraints. This commit changes the string renderer to only show the
first instance of a given constraint, and adds unit tests for this
function to cover this change.
This also fixes a bug with the locks file generation: previously, a
configuration with redundant constraints would result in this error on
second init:
Error: Invalid provider version constraints
on .terraform.lock.hcl line 6:
(source code not available)
The recorded version constraints for provider
registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/random must be written in normalized form:
"3.0.0".
Use a separate log sink to always capture trace logs for the panicwrap
handler to write out in a crash log.
This requires creating a log file in the outer process and passing that
path to the child process to log to.
Previously this codepath was generating a confusing message in the absense
of any symlinks, because filepath.EvalSymlinks returns a successful result
if the target isn't a symlink.
Now we'll emit the log line only if filepath.EvalSymlinks returns a
result that's different in a way that isn't purely syntactic (which
filepath.Clean would "fix").
The new message is a little more generic because technically we've not
actually ensured that a difference here was caused by a symlink and so
we shouldn't over-promise and generate something potentially misleading.
ioutil.TempFile has a special case where an empty string for its dir
argument is interpreted as a request to automatically look up the system
temporary directory, which is commonly /tmp .
We don't want that behavior here because we're specifically trying to
create the temporary file in the same directory as the file we're hoping
to replace. If the file gets created in /tmp then it might be on a
different device and thus the later atomic rename won't work.
Instead, we'll add our own special case to explicitly use "." when the
given filename is in the current working directory. That overrides the
special automatic behavior of ioutil.TempFile and thus forces the
behavior we need.
This hadn't previously mattered for earlier callers of this code because
they were creating files in subdirectories, but this codepath was failing
for the dependency lock file due to it always being created directly
in the current working directory.
Unfortunately since this is a picky implementation detail I couldn't find
a good way to write a unit test for it without considerable refactoring.
Instead, I verified manually that the temporary filename wasn't in /tmp on
my Linux system, and hope that the comment inline will explain this
situation well enough to avoid an accidental regression in future
maintenence.
If a configuration requires a partial provider version (with some parts
unspecified), Terraform considers this as a constrained-to-zero version.
For example, a version constraint of 1.2 will result in an attempt to
install version 1.2.0, even if 1.2.1 is available.
When writing the dependency locks file, we previously would write 1.2.*,
as this is the in-memory representation of 1.2. This would then cause an
error on re-reading the locks file, as this is not a valid constraint
format.
Instead, we now explicitly convert the constraint to its zero-filled
representation before writing the locks file. This ensures that it
correctly round-trips.
Because this change is made in getproviders.VersionConstraintsString, it
also affects the output of the providers sub-command.
Use a single log writer instance for all std library logging.
Setup the std log writer in the logging package, and remove boilerplate
from test packages.
In this case, "atomic" means that there will be no situation where the
file contains only part of the newContent data, and therefore other
software monitoring the file for changes (using a mechanism like inotify)
won't encounter a truncated file.
It does _not_ mean that there can't be existing filehandles open against
the old version of the file. On Windows systems the write will fail in
that case, but on Unix systems the write will typically succeed but leave
the existing filehandles still pointing at the old version of the file.
They'll need to reopen the file in order to see the new content.
This originated in the cliconfig code to write out credentials files. The
Windows implementation of this in particular was quite onerous to get
right because it needs a very specific sequence of operations to avoid
running into exclusive file locks, and so by factoring this out with
only cosmetic modification we can avoid repeating all of that engineering
effort for other atomic file writing use-cases.
This builds on an experimental feature in the underlying cty library which
allows marking specific attribtues of an object type constraint as
optional, which in turn modifies how the cty conversion package handles
missing attributes in a source value: it will silently substitute a null
value of the appropriate type rather than returning an error.
In order to implement the experiment this commit temporarily forks the
HCL typeexpr extension package into a local internal/typeexpr package,
where I've extended the type constraint syntax to allow annotating object
type attributes as being optional using the HCL function call syntax.
If the experiment is successful -- both at the Terraform layer and in
the underlying cty library -- we'll likely send these modifications to
upstream HCL so that other HCL-based languages can potentially benefit
from this new capability.
Because it's experimental, the optional attribute modifier is allowed only
with an explicit opt-in to the module_variable_optional_attrs experiment.
Previously we were just letting hclwrite do its default formatting
behavior here. The current behavior there isn't ideal anyway -- it puts
big data structures all on one line -- but even ignoring that our goal
for this file format is to keep things in a highly-normalized shape so
that diffs against the file are clear and easy to read.
With that in mind, here we directly control how we write that value into
the file, which means that later changes to hclwrite's list/set
presentation won't affect it, regardless of what form they take.
This probably isn't the best UI we could do here, but it's a placeholder
for now just to avoid making it seem like we're ignoring the lock file
and checking for new versions anyway.
This changes the approach used by the provider installer to remember
between runs which selections it has previously made, using the lock file
format implemented in internal/depsfile.
This means that version constraints in the configuration are considered
only for providers we've not seen before or when -upgrade mode is active.
