The consensus is that it's a generally better idea to move setting the
functionality of old values completely to the refresh/read process,
hence it's moot to have this function around anymore. This also means we
don't need the old value reader/writer anymore, which simplifies things.
When working on this initially, I think I thought that since NewComputed
values in the diff were empty strings, that it was using the zero value.
After review, it doesn't seem like this is the case - so I have adjusted
NewComputed to pass nil values. There is also a guard now that keeps the
new value writer from accepting computed fields with non-nil values.
To keep with the current convention of most other schema.Resource
functional fields being fairly short, CustomizeDiff has been changed to
"Review". It would be "Diff", however it is already used by existing
functions in schema.Provider and schema.Resource.
Both Destroy and DestroyDeposed are not propagated down the diff stack,
meaning that there is no way we can tell at this point if an instance is
being destroyed or deposed, so this check would never be used.
In this regard, Destroy never runs a diff down the stack at all, and a
deposition check is not run until *after* the provider's diff function
is called. To answer this question and close it off, we could either
determine if a resource is deposed earlier, and propagate that down, or
treat deposed resources like full destroy nodes, and not diff them at
all (but rather making a diff with the only thing in it being
DestroyDeposed flagged).
Added a few more test cases for CustomizeDiff, caught another error in
the process. I think this is ready for review now, and possibly some
real-world testing of the waters by way of porting some resources that
would benefit from the feature.
It's alive! CustomizeDiff logic now has been inserted into the diff
process. The test_resource_with_custom_diff resource provides some basic
testing and a reference implementation.
There should now be plenty of test coverage for this feature via the
tests added for ResourceDiff, and the basic test added to the
schemaMap.Diff test, and the test resource, but more can be added to
test any specific case that comes up otherwise.
As the interface has been specced out for ResourceDiff, the only diff
operation that can function on a non-computed key is ForceNew, and that
is only if a diff exists for that key. As such, allowing the user to
clear keys that cannot be operated on afterwards does not really make
much sense.
Will re-add this function if it is determined it's needed after all on
review.
Final set of coverage for ResourceDiff and bug fixes to correct issues
the test cases brought up.
Will be dropping ClearAll in next commit, as with how this interface is
intended to be used, it does not really make much sense.
This provides a deep copy of a schemaMap, which will be needed for the
diff customization process as ResourceDiff will be able to flag fields
as ForceNew - we don't want to affect the source schema.
In diffString, removed values are marked if the old value is non-nil and
the new value is nil, regardless of if the new value is marked as a
computed value. With the new diff override behaviour, this can lead to
issues where a nil attribute may get inserted into the diff if the new
value has been marked as computed (as the value will be marked as
missing, but computed).
This propagates into finalizeDiff in some respects because even if
NewComputed is manually set in the diff that gets passed in, it is
ignored, and the schema becomes the only source of truth. Since our new
diff behaviour is mainly designed to be supported on computed keys only,
it stands to reason that we there will be a time where we want to set a
diff as NewComputed on a key, and see that change in the diff.
These two small changes makes that happen. No regressions in tests have
been observed via this change, so it seems safe and non-invasive.
The beginning of tests for SetNew. Noticed that removed values are not
logged for computed keys in a diff - not too sure if that is going to be
a problem (possibly not as GetChange in ResourceData should still
reference state for the old value). I came on this most notably in the
"TestSetNew/complex-ish_set_diff" test, for reference.
More tests pending for other functions for coverage of other functions
and test cases as defined in #8769.
This ensures that when we hook this into the main diff logic, that we
can just re-diff the keys that are modified, ensuring that the diff is
not re-run on keys that were not touched, or on keys that were
intentionally removed.
This should complete the feature set of the prototype. This function
removes a specific key from the existing diff, preventing conflicts.
Further functionality might be needed to make this behave as expected,
namely ensuring that we don't re-process the whole diff after the
CustomizeDiffFunc runs.
This new prototype removes the dependence on a underlying ResourceData,
moving several items up to ensure an approach that more matches
ResourceData. Namely, we create our own MultiLevelFieldReader that
also layers updated diff values on top. New values use a small
re-implementation of the MapFieldWriter/Reader that allows computed
values to be set.
The assumption here now is that a second diff will happen after the
first one is done, processing the new values set in the 2 new
reader/writer levels and updating the diff as necessary.
This adds a new object, ResourceDiff, to the schema package. This
object, in conjunction with a function defined in CustomizeDiff in the
resource schema, allows for the in-flight customization of a Terraform
diff. This helps support use cases such as when there are necessary
changes to a resource that cannot be detected in config, such as via
computed fields (most of the utility in this object works on computed
fields only). It also allows for a wholesale wipe of the diff to allow
for diff logic completely offloaded to an external API, if it is a
better use case for a specific provider.
As part of this work, many internal diff functions have been moved to
use a special resourceDiffer interface, to allow for shared
functionality between ResourceDiff and ResourceData. This may be
extended to the DiffSuppressFunc as well which would restrict use of
ResourceData in DiffSuppressFunc to generally read-only fields.
This work is not yet in its final state - CustomizeDiff is not yet
implemented in the general diff workflow, new functions may be added
(notably Clear() for a single key), and functionality may be altered.
Tests will follow as well.
In order to parse provider, resource and data source configuration from
HCL2 config files, we need to know the relevant configuration schema.
This new method allows Terraform Core to request these from a provider.
This is a breaking change to this interface, so all of its implementers
in this package are updated too. This includes concrete implementations
of the new method in helper/schema that use the schema conversion code
added in an earlier commit to produce a configschema.Block automatically.
Plugins compiled against prior versions of helper/schema will not have
support for this method, and so calls to them will fail. Callers of
this new method will therefore need to sniff for support using the
SchemaAvailable field added to both ResourceType and DataSource.
This careful handling will need to persist until next time we increment
the plugin protocol version, at which point we can make the breaking
change of requiring this information to be available.
We don't currently have any need for this information, but we're
propagating it out of helper/schema here pre-emptively so that once we
later have a use for it we will not need to rebuild the providers to gain
access to it.
The long-term expected use-case for this is to have Terraform Core use
static analysis techniques to trace the path of sensitive data through
interpolations so that intermediate results can be flagged as sensitive
too, but we have a lot more work to do before such a thing would actually
be possible.
As part of moving to the next-generation HCL implementation,
Terraform Core is getting its own representation of configuration schema
that is tailored for configuration-processing use-cases. The capabilities
of this are a subset of the helper/schema model primarily concerned with
the configuration structure and value types, leaving detailed validation
and defaults for helper/schema to still solve.
These new methods allow mechanical creation of a schema in the new Core
schema model from a schema expressed in the helper/schema model. This is
not yet used as of this commit, but will be used later to implement some
new ResourceProvider methods that will allow core to obtain the schema
for provider, resource and data source configuration while remaining
source-compatible with existing provider implementations.
Go 1.9 adds this new function which, when called, marks the caller as
being a "helper function". Helper function stack frames are then skipped
when trying to find a line of test code to blame for a test failure, so
that the code in the main test function appears in the test failure output
rather than a line within the helper function itself.
This covers many -- but probaly not all -- of our test helpers across
various packages.
Equality of schema.Sets gets tricky when dealing with nested sets -
Set.Equal only superficially compares the underlying maps and hence any
sets nested under the root sets cause issues.
This adds a simple method, HashEqual, that does a top-level hash
comparison, helping to work around this without any complex re-invention
of things like reflect.DeepEqual.
Of course, in order to make effective use of this function, the user
needs to make sure they are properly hashing their nested sets, however
this is trivial with things like HashResource.
Adds `GetOkRaw` as a schema function. This should only be used to verify
boolean attributes are either set or not set, regardless of their zero
value for their type. There are a few small use cases outside of the boolean
type where this will be helpful as well.
Overall, this shouldn't detract from the zero-value checks that `GetOK()`
currently has, and should only be used when absolutely needed. However,
there are enough use-cases for this addition without checking for the
zero-value of the type, that this is needed.
Primary use case is for a boolean attribute that is `Optional` and `Computed`,
without a default value. There's currently no way to verify that the boolean
attribute was explicitly set to the zero-value literal with the current
`GetOk()` function. This new function allows for that check, keeping the
`Computed` check for the returned `exists` boolean.
```

The field reader code path is extremely inefficient, but refactoring
it all is much to invasive a change at the moment.
Have DiffFieldReader internally cache results for ReadField.
It turns out that `d.GetOk` also returns `false` when the user _did_ actually supply a value for it in the config, but the value itself needs to be evaluated before it can be used.
So instead of passing a `ResourceData` we now pass a `ResourceConfig`
which makes much more sense for doing the validation anyway.
GH-14784 allowed nested structures to be validate, rather than relying
on the raw value. However this still returns the same validation error
if the structures contain a computed value, since Get will return the
raw string in that case.
This simply skips the validation in the IsComputed case, since there's
nothing that can be checked.
When interpreting a nested object, we were validating against the "raw"
value, and not the interpolated value, causing incorrect errors.
This affects structures such as:
```tf
tags = "${list(map("foo", "bar"))}"
```
Prior to this, a complaint about "expected object, got string" since the
raw value is obviously a string, when the interpolated value is the
correct shape.
The tests did pass, but that was because they only tested part of the changes. By using the `schema.TestResourceDataRaw` function the schema and config are better tested and so they pointed out a problem with the schema of the Chef provisioner.
The `Elem` fields did not have a `*schema.Schema` but a `schema.Schema` and in an `Elem` schema only the `Type` field may (and must) be set. Any other fields like `Optional` are not allowed here.
Next to fixing that problem I also did a little refactoring and cleaning up. Mainly making the `ProvisionerS` private (`provisioner`) and removing the deprecated fields.
1. Migrate `chef` provisioner to `schema.Provisioner`:
* `chef.Provisioner` structure was renamed to `ProvisionerS`and now it's decoded from `schema.ResourceData` instead of `terraform.ResourceConfig` using simple copy-paste-based solution;
* Added simple schema without any validation yet.
2. Support `ValidateFunc` validate function : implemented in `file` and `chef` provisioners.
If a schema.TypeList had a Schema with ForceNew, and if that list was
NewComputed, the diff would not have RequiresNew set. This causes apply
to fail when the diffs didn't match because of the change to
RequiresNew.
Set the RequiresNew field on the list's ResourceAttrDiff based on the
Schema value.
stringer has changed the boilerplate it generates in a recent version.
We'd previously updated to the new format but accientally rolled back
to the old while merging a long-running feature branch.
This restores us back to the new format again.
* Revert #11245, #11321, #11498 and #11757
These PR’s are all related to issue #11170 for which I would like to propose a different solution then the one currently implemented.
* A different approach to solve #11170
This approach has (IMHO) a few advantages with regards to the solution currently implemented. I will elaborate on this in the PR.
Discussion in #9512 revealed that some of the comments here were
inaccurate and that the comments here did not paint a complete enough
picture of the behavior and expectations of Default and DefaultFunc.
This is a comments-only change that aims to clarify the situation and
call attention to the fact that the defaults only affect the handling of
the configuration and that changes to defaults may require migration of
existing resource states.
This closes#9512.
golang/tools commit 23ca8a263 changed the format of the leading comment
to comply with some new standards discussed here:
https://golang.org/issue/13560
This is the result of running generate with the latest version of
stringer. Everyone working on Terraform will need to update stringer
after this is merged, to avoid reverting this:
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
If the list was marked as computed, all values will be raw config
values. Fetch the individual keys from the config to get any known
values before validating.
The Required||Optional logic in schemaMap.Input was incorrect, causing
it to always request input. Fix the logic, and the associated tests
which were passing "just because".
helper/schema: Rename Timeout resource block to Timeouts
- Pluralize configuration argument name to better represent that there is
one block for many timeouts
- use a const for the configuration timeouts key
- update docs
Provider.TestReset resets the internal state of the Provider at the
start of a test. This also adds a MetaReset function field to
schema.Provider, which is called by TestReset and can be used to reset
any other tsated stored in the provider metadata.
This is currently used to reset the internal Context returned by
StopContext between tests, and should be implemented by a provider if
it stores a Context from a previous test.
* helper/schema: Add custom Timeout block for resources
* refactor DefaultTimeout to suuport multiple types. Load meta in Refresh from Instance State
* update vpc but it probably wont last anyway
* refactor test into table test for more cases
* rename constant keys
* refactor configdecode
* remove VPC demo
* remove comments
* remove more comments
* refactor some
* rename timeKeys to timeoutKeys
* remove note
* documentation/resources: Document the Timeout block
* document timeouts
* have a test case that covers 'hours'
* restore a System default timeout of 20 minutes, instead of 0
* restore system default timeout of 20 minutes, refactor tests, add test method to handle system default
* rename timeout key constants
* test applying timeout to state
* refactor test
* Add resource Diff test
* clarify docs
* update to use constants
This changes the type of values in Meta for InstanceState to
`interface{}`. They were `string` before.
This will allow richer structures to be persisted to this without
flatmapping them (down with flatmap!). The documentation clearly states
that only primitives/collections are allowed here.
The only thing using this was helper/schema for schema versioning.
Appropriate type checking was added to make this change safe.
The timeout work @catsby is doing will use this for a richer structure.
Fixes#12183
The fix is in flatmap for this but the entire issue is a bit more
complex. Given a schema with a computed set, if you reference it like
this:
lookup(attr[0], "field")
And "attr" contains a computed set within it, it would panic even though
"field" is available. There were a couple avenues I could've taken to
fix this:
1.) Any complex value containing any unknown value at any point is
entirely unknown.
2.) Only the specific part of the complex value is unknown.
I took route 2 so that the above works without any computed (since
"name" is not computed but something else is). This may actually have an
effect on other parts of Terraform configs, however those similar
configs would've simply crashed previously so it shouldn't break any
pre-existing configs.
Accessing an interpolated value in a map through ConfigFieldReader can
fail, because GetRaw can't access interpolated values, so check if the
value exists at all by looking in the config. If the config has a value,
assume our map's value is interpolated and proceed as such.
We also need to lookup the correct schema to properly read a field from
a nested structure.
- Maps previously always defaulted to TypeString. Now check if Elem is a
ValueType and use that if applicable
- Lists now return the schema for nested element types, defaulting to a
TypeString like maps.
This only allows maps and lists to be nested one level deep, and the
inner map or list must only contain string values.
Needed due to work done in 95d37ea, we may need to adjust
hasComputedSubKeys to propagate NewComputed in the same way that we
have added "~", however will wait for comment from @mitchellh.
This covers:
* Complex sets with computed fields in a set
* Complex lists with computed fields in a set
Adding a test to test basic lists with computed fields seemed to fail,
but possibly for an unrelated reason (the list returned as nil). The fix
to this inparticular case may be out of the scope of this specific
issue.
Reference gist and details in hashicorp/terraform#9171.
This fixes some edge-ish cases where a set in a config has a set or list
in it that contains computed values, but non-set or list values in the
parent do not.
This can cause "diffs didn't match during apply" errors in a scenario
such as when a set's hash is calculated off of child items (including
any sub-lists or sets, as it should be), and the hash changes between
the plan and apply diffs due to the computed values present in the
sub-list or set items. These will be marked as computed, but due to the
fact that the function was not iterating over the list or set items
properly (ie: not adding the item number to the address, so
set.0.set.foo was being yielded instead of set.0.set.0.foo), these
computed values were not being properly propagated to the parent set to
be marked as computed.
Fixeshashicorp/terraform#6527.
Fixeshashicorp/terraform#8271.
This possibly fixes other non-CloudFront related issues too.
Fixes#10125
If the elements are computed and the field is ForceNew, then we should
mark the computed count as potentially forcing a new operation.
Example, assuming `groups` forces new...
**Step 1:**
groups = ["1", "2", "3"]
At this point, the resource isn't create, so this should result in a
diff like:
CREATE resource:
groups: "" => ["1", "2", "3"]
**Step 2:**
groups = ["${computedvar}"]
The OLD behavior was:
UPDATE resource
groups.#: "3" => "computed"
This would cause a diff mismatch because if `${computedvar}` was
different then it should force new. The NEW behavior is:
DESTROY/CREATE resource:
groups.#: "3" => "computed" (forces new)
Fixes#2748
This changes the diff to only mark "forces new resource" on the fields
that actually caused the new resource, not every field that changed.
This makes diffs much more accurate.
I'd like to request a review but I'm going to defer merging until
Terraform 0.8. Changes like this are very possible to cause "diffs
didn't match" errors and I want some real world testing in a beta before
we hit prod with this.
Fixes#7715
If a bool field was computed and the raw value was not convertable to a
boolean, helper/schema would crash. The correct behavior is to try not
to read the raw value when the value is computed and to simply mark that
it is computed. This does that (and matches the behavior of the other
primitives).
Fixes#5138
If an item is optional and is removed completely from the configuration,
it should still trigger a destroy/create if the field itself was marked
as "ForceNew".
See the example in #5138.
Fixes#3309
There are two primary changes, one to how helper/schema creates diffs
and one to how Terraform compares diffs. Both require careful
understanding.
== 1. helper/schema Changes
helper/schema, given any primitive field (string, int, bool, etc.)
_used to_ create a basic diff when given a computed new value (i.e. from
an unkown interpolation). This would put in the plan that the old value
is whatever the old value was, and the new value was the actual
interpolation. For example, from #3309, the diff showed the following:
```
~ module.test.aws_eip.test-instance.0
instance: "<INSTANCE ID>" => "${element(aws_instance.test-instance.*.id, count.index)}"
```
Then, when running `apply`, the diff would be realized and you would get
a diff mismatch error because it would realize the final value is the
same and remove it from the diff.
**The change:** `helper/schema` now marks unknown primitive values with
`NewComputed` set to true. Semantically this is correct for the diff to
have this information.
== 2. Terraform Diff.Same Changes
Next, the way Terraform compares diffs needed to be updated
Specifically, the case where the diff from the plan had a NewComputed
primitive and the diff from the apply _no longer has that value_. This
is possible if the computed value ended up being the same as the old
value. This is allowed to pass through.
Together, these fix#3309.
This reverts commit c3a4cff133, reversing
changes made to 791a02e6e4.
This change requires plugin recompilation and we should hold off until a
minor release for that.
This commit implements reusable functions for when resources have no
need to implement a particular operation:
- Noop - does nothing and returns no error.
- RemoveFromState - sets the resource ID to empty string (removing it
from state) and returns no error.
This is required for the times when the configuration cannot have an
empty configuration. An example would be in AzureRM, when you create a
LoadBalancer with a configuration, you can delete *all* but 1 of these
configurations
This commit adds a new callback, DiffSuppressFunc, to the schema.Schema
structure. If set for a given schema, a callback to the user-supplied
function will be made for each attribute for which the default
type-based diff mechanism produces an attribute diff. Returning `true`
from the callback will suppress the diff (i.e. pretend there was no
diff), and returning false will retain it as part of the plan.
There are a number of motivating examples for this - one of which is
included as an example:
1. On SSH public keys, trailing whitespace does not matter in many
cases - and in some cases it is added by provider APIs. For
digitalocean_ssh_key resources we previously had a StateFunc that
trimmed the whitespace - we now have a DiffSuppressFunc which
verifies whether the trimmed strings are equivalent.
2. IAM policy equivalence for AWS. A good proportion of AWS issues
relate to IAM policies which have been "normalized" (used loosely)
by the IAM API endpoints. This can make the JSON strings differ
from those generated by iam_policy_document resources or template
files, even though the semantics are the same (for example,
reordering of `bucket-prefix/` and `bucket-prefix/*` in an S3
bucket policy. DiffSupressFunc can be used to test for semantic
equivalence rather than pure text equivalence, but without having to
deal with the complexity associated with a full "provider-land" diff
implementation without helper/schema.
Fixes issue where a resource marked as tainted with no other attribute
diffs would never show up in the plan or apply as needing to be
replaced.
One unrelated test needed updating due to a quirk in the testDiffFn
logic - it adds a "type" field diff if the diff is non-Empty. NBD
Although DiffFieldReader was the one mostly responsible for a buggy behaviour
more tests were added throughout the debugging process most of which
would fail without the bugfix.
- ResourceData
- MultiLevelFieldReader
- MapFieldReader
- DiffFieldReader
The helper/schema framework for building providers previously validated
in all cases that each field being set in state was in the schema.
However, in order to support remote state in a usable fashion, the need
has arisen for the top level attributes of the resource to be created
dynamically. In order to still be able to use helper/schema, this commit
adds the capability to assign additional fields.
Though I do not forsee this being used by providers other than remote
state (and that eventually may move into Terraform Core rather than
being a provider), the usage and semantics are:
To opt into dynamic attributes, add a schema attribute named
"__has_dynamic_attributes", and make it an optional string with no
default value, in order that it does not appear in diffs:
"__has_dynamic_attributes": {
Type: schema.TypeString
Optional: true
}
In the read callback, use the d.UnsafeSetFieldRaw(key, value) function
to set the dynamic attributes.
Note that other fields in the schema _are_ copied into state, and that
the names of the schema fields cannot currently be used as dynamic
attribute names, as we check to ensure a value is not already set for a
given key.
The serializeCollectionMemberForHash helper can't be called for the
MapType values, because MapType doesn't have a schema.Elem. Instead, we
can write the key/value pairs directly to the buffer. This still doesn't
allow for nested maps or lists, but we need to define that use case
before committing to it here.
The flatmapped representation of state prior to this commit encoded maps
and lists (and therefore by extension, sets) with a key corresponding to
the number of elements, or the unknown variable indicator under a .# key
and then individual items. For example, the list ["a", "b", "c"] would
have been encoded as:
listname.# = 3
listname.0 = "a"
listname.1 = "b"
listname.2 = "c"
And the map {"key1": "value1", "key2", "value2"} would have been encoded
as:
mapname.# = 2
mapname.key1 = "value1"
mapname.key2 = "value2"
Sets use the hash code as the key - for example a set with a (fictional)
hashcode calculation may look like:
setname.# = 2
setname.12312512 = "value1"
setname.56345233 = "value2"
Prior to the work done to extend the type system, this was sufficient
since the internal representation of these was effectively the same.
However, following the separation of maps and lists into distinct
first-class types, this encoding presents a problem: given a state file,
it is impossible to tell the encoding of an empty list and an empty map
apart. This presents problems for the type checker during interpolation,
as many interpolation functions will operate on only one of these two
structures.
This commit therefore changes the representation in state of maps to use
a "%" as the key for the number of elements. Consequently the map above
will now be encoded as:
mapname.% = 2
mapname.key1 = "value1"
mapname.key2 = "value2"
This has the effect of an empty list (or set) now being encoded as:
listname.# = 0
And an empty map now being encoded as:
mapname.% = 0
Therefore we can eliminate some nasty guessing logic from the resource
variable supplier for interpolation, at the cost of having to migrate
state up front (to follow in a subsequent commit).
In order to reduce the number of potential situations in which resources
would be "forced new", we continue to accept "#" as the count key when
reading maps via helper/schema. There is no situation under which we can
allow "#" as an actual map key in any case, as it would not be
distinguishable from a list or set in state.
This an effort to address hashicorp/terraform#516.
Adding the Sensitive attribute to the resource schema, opening up the
ability for resource maintainers to mark some fields as sensitive.
Sensitive fields are hidden in the output, and, possibly in the future,
could be encrypted.
This means it’s shown correctly in a plan and takes into account any
actions that are dependant on the tainted resource and, vice verse, any
actions that the tainted resource depends on.
So this changes the behaviour from saying this resource is tainted so
just forget about it and make sure it gets deleted in the background,
to saying I want that resource to be recreated (taking into account the
existing resource and it’s place in the graph).
For backward compatibility we will continue to support using the data
sources that were formerly logical resources as resources for the moment,
but we want to warn the user about it since this support is likely to
be removed in future.
This is done by adding a new "deprecation message" feature to
schema.Resource, but for the moment this is done as an internal feature
(not usable directly by plugins) so that we can collect additional
use-cases and design a more general interface before creating a
compatibility constraint.
Historically we've had some "read-only" and "logical" resources. With the
addition of the data source concept these will gradually become data
sources, but we need to retain backward compatibility with existing
configurations that use the now-deprecated resources.
This shim is intended to allow us to easily create a resource from a
data source implementation. It adjusts the schema as needed and adds
stub Create and Delete implementations.
This would ideally also produce a deprecation warning whenever such a
shimmed resource is used, but the schema system doesn't currently have
a mechanism for resource-specific validation, so that remains just a TODO
for the moment.
In the "schema" layer a Resource is just any "thing" that has a schema
and supports some or all of the CRUD operations. Data sources introduce
a new use of Resource to represent read-only resources, which require
some different InternalValidate logic.
This is a breaking change to the ResourceProvider interface that adds the
new operations relating to data sources.
DataSources, ValidateDataSource, ReadDataDiff and ReadDataApply are the
data source equivalents of Resources, Validate, Diff and Apply (respectively)
for managed resources.
The diff/apply model seems at first glance a rather strange workflow for
read-only resources, but implementing data resources in this way allows them
to fit cleanly into the standard plan/apply lifecycle in cases where the
configuration contains computed arguments and thus the read must be deferred
until apply time.
Along with breaking the interface, we also fix up the plugin client/server
and helper/schema implementations of it, which are all of the callers
used when provider plugins use helper/schema. This would be a breaking
change for any provider plugin that directly implements the provider
interface, but no known plugins do this and it is not recommended.
At the helper/schema layer the implementer sees ReadDataApply as a "Read",
as opposed to "Create" or "Update" as in the managed resource Apply
implementation. The planning mechanics are handled entirely within
helper/schema, so that complexity is hidden from the provider implementation
itself.
This adds a test and the support necessary to read from native maps
passed as variables via interpolation - for example:
```
resource ...... {
mapValue = "${var.map}"
}
```
We also add support for interpolating maps from the flat-mapped resource
config, which is necessary to support assignment of computed maps, which
is now valid.
Unfortunately there is no good way to distinguish between a list and a
map in the flatmap. In lieu of changing that representation (which is
risky), we assume that if all the keys are numeric, this is intended to
be a list, and if not it is intended to be a map. This does preclude
maps which have purely numeric keys, which should be noted as a
backwards compatibility concern.
This commit adds support for native list variables and outputs, building
up on the previous change to state. Interpolation functions now return
native lists in preference to StringList.
List variables are defined like this:
variable "test" {
# This can also be inferred
type = "list"
default = ["Hello", "World"]
}
output "test_out" {
value = "${var.a_list}"
}
This results in the following state:
```
...
"outputs": {
"test_out": [
"hello",
"world"
]
},
...
```
And the result of terraform output is as follows:
```
$ terraform output
test_out = [
hello
world
]
```
Using the output name, an xargs-friendly representation is output:
```
$ terraform output test_out
hello
world
```
The output command also supports indexing into the list (with
appropriate range checking and no wrapping):
```
$ terraform output test_out 1
world
```
Along with maps, list outputs from one module may be passed as variables
into another, removing the need for the `join(",", var.list_as_string)`
and `split(",", var.list_as_string)` which was previously necessary in
Terraform configuration.
This commit also updates the tests and implementations of built-in
interpolation functions to take and return native lists where
appropriate.
A backwards compatibility note: previously the concat interpolation
function was capable of concatenating either strings or lists. The
strings use case was deprectated a long time ago but still remained.
Because we cannot return `ast.TypeAny` from an interpolation function,
this use case is no longer supported for strings - `concat` is only
capable of concatenating lists. This should not be a huge issue - the
type checker picks up incorrect parameters, and the native HIL string
concatenation - or the `join` function - can be used to replicate the
missing behaviour.
For a long time now, the diff logic has relied on the behavior of
`mapstructure.WeakDecode` to determine how various primitives are
converted into strings. The `schema.DiffString` function is used for
all primitive field types: TypeBool, TypeInt, TypeFloat, and TypeString.
The `mapstructure` library's string representation of booleans is "0"
and "1", which differs from `strconv.FormatBool`'s "false" and "true"
(which is used in writing out boolean fields to the state).
Because of this difference, diffs have long had the potential for
cosmetically odd but semantically neutral output like:
"true" => "1"
"false" => "0"
So long as `mapstructure.Decode` or `strconv.ParseBool` are used to
interpret these strings, there's no functional problem.
We had our first clear functional problem with #6005 and friends, where
users noticed diffs like the above showing up unexpectedly and causing
troubles when `ignore_changes` was in play.
This particular bug occurs down in Terraform core's EvalIgnoreChanges.
There, the diff is modified to account for ignored attributes, and
special logic attempts to handle properly the situation where the
ignored attribute was going to trigger a resource replacement. That
logic relies on the string representations of the Old and New fields in
the diff to be the same so that it filters properly.
So therefore, we now get a bug when a diff includes `Old: "0", New:
"false"` since the strings do not match, and `ignore_changes` is not
properly handled.
Here, we introduce `TypeBool`-specific normalizing into `finalizeDiff`.
I spiked out a full `diffBool` function, but figuring out which pieces
of `diffString` to duplicate there got hairy. This seemed like a simpler
and more direct solution.
Fixes#6005 (and potentially others!)
* MaxItems defines a maximum amount of items that can exist within a
TypeSet or TypeList. Specific use cases would be if a TypeSet is being
used to wrap a complex structure, however more than one instance would
cause instability.
It was a mistake to switched fully to `==` when activating waiting for
capacity on updates in #3947. Users that didn't set `min_elb_capacity ==
desired_capacity` and instead treated it as an actual "minimum" would
see timeouts for every create, since their target numbers would never be
reached exactly.
Here, we fix that regression by restoring the minimum waiting behavior
during creates.
In order to preserve all the stated behavior, I had to split out
different criteria for create and update, criteria which are now
exhaustively unit tested.
The set of fields that affect capacity waiting behavior has become a bit
of a mess. Next major release I'd like to rework all of these into a
more consistently named block of config. For now, just getting the
behavior correct and documented.
(Also removes all the fixed names from the ASG tests as I was hitting
collision issues running them over here.)
Fixes#4792
Implementation notes:
* The hash implementation was not considering key value, causing "diffs
did not match" errors when a value was updated. Switching to default
HashResource implementation fixes this
* Using HashResource as a default exposed a bug in helper/schema that
needed to be fixed so the Set function is picked up properly during
Read
* Stop writing back values into the `key` attribute; it triggers extra
diffs when `default` is used. Computed values all just go into `var`.
* Includes a state migration to prevent unnecessary diffs based on
"key" attribute hashcodes changing.
In the tests:
* Switch from leaning on the public demo Consul instance to requiring a
CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR variable be set pointing to a `consul agent -dev`
instance to be used only for testing.
* Add a test that exposes the updating issues and covers the fixes
Fixes#774Fixes#1866Fixes#3023
Changing the Set internals makes a lot of sense as it saves doing
conversions in multiple places and gives a central place to alter
the key when a item is computed.
This will have no side effects other then that the ordering is now
based on strings instead on integers, so the order will be different.
This will however have no effect on existing configs as these will
use the individual codes/keys and not the ordering to determine if
there is a diff or not.
Lastly (but I think also most importantly) there is a fix in this PR
that makes diffing sets extremely more performand. Before a full diff
required reading the complete Set for every single parameter/attribute
you wanted to diff, while now it only gets that specific parameter.
We have a use case where we have a Set that has 18 parameters and the
set consist of about 600 items (don't ask 😉). So when doing a diff
it would take 100% CPU of all cores and stay that way for almost an
hour before being able to complete the diff.
Debugging this we learned that for retrieving every single parameter
it made over 52.000 calls to `func (c *ResourceConfig) get(..)`. In
this function a slice is created and used only for the duration of the
call, so the time needed to create all needed slices and on the other
hand the time the garbage collector needed to clean them up again caused
the system to cripple itself. Next to that there are also some expensive
reflect calls in this function which also claimed a fair amount of CPU
time.
After this fix the number of calls needed to get a single parameter
dropped from 52.000+ to only 2! 😃
I promised myself that next time I jumped in this file I'd fix this up.
Now we don't have to manually index the file with comments, we can just
add descriptive names to the test cases!
Previous this would return the following sort of error:
expected type 'string', got unconvertible type '[]interface {}'
This is the raw error returned by the underlying mapstructure library.
This is not a helpful error message for anyone who doesn't know Go's
type system, and it exposes Terraform's internals to the UI.
Instead we'll catch these cases before we try to use mapstructure and
return a more straightforward message.
By checking the type before the IsComputed exception this also avoids
a crash caused when the assigned value is a computed list. Otherwise
the list of interpolations is allowed through here and then crashes later
during Diff when the value is not a primitive as expected.
A common issue with new resource implementations is not considering parts
of a complex structure that's used inside a set, which causes quirky
behavior.
The schema helper has enough information to provide a default reasonable
implementation of a set function that includes all non-computed attributes
in a deterministic way. Here we implement such a function and use it
when no explicit hashing function is provided.
In order to achieve this we encapsulate the construction of the zero
value for a schema in a new method schema.ZeroValue, which allows us to
put the fallback logic to the new default function in a single spot.
It is no longer valid to use &Set{F: schema.Set} and all uses of that
construct should be replaced with schema.ZeroValue().(*Set) .
We need to set the value to an empty value so the state file does
indeed change the value. Otherwise the obsolote value is still
intact and doesn't get changed at all. This means `terraform show`
still shows the obsolote value when the particular value is not
existing anymore. This is due the AWS API which is returning a null
instead of an empty string.
This was just a missed exit from the resource.Apply function -
subsequent refreshes would add the SchemaVersion back into the state,
but having the state recorded once without the meta information can
cause problems with Atlas's remote state checksumming.
By prefixing them with `cmd /c` it will work with both `winner` and
`ssh` connection types.
This PR also reverts some bad stringer changes made in PR #2673
In `helper/schema` we already makes a distinction between `Default`
which is always applied and `InputDefault` which is displayed to the
user for an empty field.
But for variables we just have `Default` which is treated like
`InputDefault`. This changes it to _not_ prompt the user for a value
when the variable declaration includes a default.
Treating this as a UX bugfix and the "don't prompt for variables w/
defaults set" behavior as the originally expected behavior we were
failing to honor.
Added an already-passing test to verify and cover the `helper/schema`
behavior.
Perhaps down the road we can add a `input_default` attribute to
variables to allow similar behavior to `helper/schema` in variables, but
for now just sticking with the fix.
Fixes#2592
This is the initial pure "all tests passing without a diff" stage. The
plan is to change the internal representation of StringList to include a
suffix delimiter, which will allow us to recognize empty and
single-element lists.
I couldn't see a simple path get this working for Maps, Sets,
and Lists, so lets land it as a primitive-only schema feature.
I think validation on primitives comprises 80% of the use cases anyways.
Guarantees that the `interface{}` arg to ValidateFunc is the proper
type, allowing implementations to be simpler.
Finish the docstring on `ValidateFunc` to call this out.
