Now that the view code is separated, we can increase test coverage in
unit tests. This commit moves some tests from the command package which
were testing only view code, and adds more new test cases.
The warning diag added when refreshing an empty state file was never
rendered, and instead a custom (and incorrect) warning was output to the
UI. This commit fixes the dropped diag and removes the custom warning.
The clistate package includes a Locker interface which provides a simple
way for the local backend to lock and unlock state, while providing
feedback to the user if there is a delay while waiting for the lock.
Prior to this commit, the backend was responsible for initializing the
Locker, passing through direct access to the cli.Ui instance.
This structure prevented commands from implementing different
implementations of the state locker UI. In this commit, we:
- Move the responsibility of creating the appropriate Locker to the
source of the Operation;
- Add the ability to set the context for a Locker via a WithContext
method;
- Replace the Locker's cli.Ui and Colorize members with a StateLocker
view;
- Implement views.StateLocker for human-readable UI;
- Update the Locker interface to return detailed diagnostics instead of
errors, reducing its direct interactions with UI;
- Add a Timeout() method on Locker to allow the remote backend to
continue to misuse the -lock-timeout flag to cancel pending runs.
When an Operation is created, the StateLocker field must now be
populated with an implementation of Locker. For situations where locking
is disabled, this can be a no-op locker.
This change has no significant effect on the operation of Terraform,
with the exception of slightly different formatting of errors when state
locking or unlocking fails.
Move the code which renders Terraform hook callbacks as UI into the
views package, backed by a views.View instead of a cli.Ui. Update test
setup accordingly.
To allow commands to control this hook, we add a hooks member on the
backend Operation struct. This supersedes the hooks in the Terraform
context, which is not directly controlled by the command logic.
This commit should not change how Terraform works, and is refactoring in
preparation for more changes which move UI code out of the backend.
The enhanced backends (local and remote) need to be able to render
diagnostics during operations. Prior to this commit, this functionality
was supported with a per-backend `ShowDiagnostics` function pointer.
In order to allow users of these backends to control how diagnostics are
rendered, this commit moves that function pointer to the `Operation`
type. This means that a diagnostic renderer is configured for each
operation, rather than once per backend initialization.
Some secondary consequences of this change:
- The `ReportResult` method on the backend is now moved to the
`Operation` type, as it needs to access the `ShowDiagnostics` callback
(and nothing else from the backend);
- Tests which assumed that diagnostics would be written to the backend's
`cli.Ui` instance are migrated to using a new record/playback diags
helper function;
- Apply, plan, and refresh commands now pass a pointer to the `Meta`
struct's `showDiagnostics` method.
This commit should not change how Terraform works, and is refactoring in
preparation for more changes which move UI code out of the backend.
It's pretty common to want to apply the various fmt.Fprint... functions
to our two output streams, and so to make that much less noisy at the
callsite here we have a small number of very thin wrappers around the
underlying fmt package functionality.
Although we're aiming to not have too much abstraction in this "terminal"
package, this seems justified in that it is only a very thin wrapper
around functionality that most Go programmers are already familiar with,
and so the risk of this causing any surprises is low and the improvement
to readability of callers seems worth it.
A handful of bugs popped up while extending the testing in
plans/objchange. The main themes were failing to recurse through deeply
nested NestedType attributes and improperly building up the ImpliedType.
This commit fixes those issues and extends the test coverage to match.
Rather than modifying and relying on the existing Meta.process
argument extractor, we can more clearly handle global CLI flags using
a separate parser step. This allows us to explicitly configure the view
in the command.
Terraform supports multiple output formats for several sub-commands.
The default format is user-readable text, but many sub-commands support
a `-json` flag to output a machine-readable format for the result. The
output command also supports a `-raw` flag for a simpler, scripting-
focused machine readable format.
This commit adds a "views" abstraction, intended to help ensure
consistency between the various output formats. This extracts the render
specific code from the command package, and moves it into a views
package. Each command is expected to create an interface for its view,
and one or more implementations of that interface.
By doing so, we separate the concerns of generating the sub-command
result from rendering the result in the specified output format. This
should make it easier to ensure that all output formats will be updated
together when changes occur in the result-generating phase.
There are some other consequences of this restructuring:
- Views now directly access the terminal streams, rather than the
now-redundant cli.Ui instance;
- With the reorganization of commands, parsing CLI arguments is now the
responsibility of a separate "arguments" package.
For now, views are added only for the output sub-command, as an example.
Because this command uses code which is shared with the apply and
refresh commands, those are also partially updated.
Add validation which was removed from the configload package, along with
additional validation checks. The output is slightly different, as
instead of validating whether the modules are allowed to have provider
configurations, we validate the various combinations of provider
structures themselves.
This is to allow convenient testing of functions that are designed to work
directly with *terminal.Streams or the individual stream objects inside.
Because the InputStream and OutputStream APIs expose directly an *os.File,
this does some extra work to set up OS-level pipes so we can capture the
output into local buffers to make test assertions against. The idea here
is to keep the tricky stuff we need for testing confined to the test
codepaths, so that the "real" codepaths don't end up needing to work
around abstractions that are otherwise unnecessary.
The configload package should only be responsible for locating and
loading the configuration, and not be further inspecting the config
source itself. Moving the validating into the configs package.
with NestedType objects.
There are a handful of mostly cosmetic changes in this PR which likely
make the diff awkward to read; I renamed several functions to
(hopefully) clarifiy which funcs worked with Blocks vs other types. I
also extracted some small code snippets into their own functions for
reusability.
The code that descends into attributes with NestedTypes is similar to
the block-handling code, and differs in all the ways blocks and
attributes differ: null is valid for attributes, unlike blocks which can
only be present or empty.
Add support for parsing configuration_aliases in required_providers
entries. The decoder needed to be re-written here in order to support
the bare reference style usage of provider names so that they match the
usage in other location within configuration. The only change to
existing handling of the required_providers block is more precise error
locations in a couple cases.
Errors encountered when parsing flags for apply, plan, and refresh were
being suppressed. This resulted in a generic usage error when using an
invalid `-target` flag.
This commit makes several changes to address this. First, these commands
now output the flag parse error before exiting, leaving at least some
hint about the error. You can verify this manually with something like:
terraform apply -invalid-flag
We also change how target attributes are parsed, moving the
responsibility from the flags instance to the command. This allows us to
customize the diagnostic output to be more user friendly. The
diagnostics now look like:
```shellsession
$ terraform apply -no-color -target=foo
Error: Invalid target "foo"
Resource specification must include a resource type and name.
```
Finally, we add test coverage for both parsing of target flags, and at
the command level for successful use of resource targeting. These tests
focus on the UI output (via the change summary and refresh logs), as the
functionality of targeting is covered by the context tests in the
terraform package.
