When running in v0.12-and-higher mode, this will cause the SDK to report
the type of the attribute as "any", effectively skipping type checking
on the Core side altogether and checking only in the SDK and provider
code.
The practical impact of this is to restore the v0.11-style checking
behavior of allowing object values to be missing certain attributes as
long as they are marked as optional in the schema. The SDK can do this
because it uses a unified schema model for both object values and nested
blocks, while Terraform Core only supports the idea of "optional" when
talking about attributes in nested blocks.
This is a continuation of the pile of workarounds that also includes
the ConfigMode and AsSingle fields, allowing providers to selectively opt
out of new v0.12 behaviors in situations where they conflict with
decisions made in the design of the providers in our old world where
Terraform Core delegated _all_ validation to providers.
This is designed as an opt-in so that we can limit its impact only to
specific cases where it's needed and minimize the risk of regressions
elsewhere. Providers should use this sparingly only in situations where
prevailing usage disagrees with the new expectations of Terraform Core in
v0.12.
This commit only adds the flag, and does not implement any behavior for it
yet. That means this commit can exist in both the v0.11 and v0.12
codebases, allowing for API compatibility. A subsequent commit for v0.12
(not included in v0.11) will then implement this behavior.
This setting indicates that an attribute defined as TypeList or TypeSet
should be presented to Terraform Core as a single value instead when
running in Terraform v0.12 or later. It has no effect for Terraform v0.10
or v0.11.
This commit just introduces the setting without any associated behavior,
so it can be included in both the v0.12 and v0.11 branches. A subsequent
commit only to the v0.12 branch will introduce the behavior as part of
the protocol version 5 shims.
This allows a provider developer slightly more control over how an SDK
schema is mapped into the Terraform configuration language, overriding
some default assumptions.
ConfigMode overrides the default assumption that a schema with
an Elem of type *Resource is to be mapped to configuration as a nested
block, allowing mapping as an attribute containing an object type instead.
These behaviors only apply when a provider is being used with Terraform
v0.12 or later. They are ignored altogether in Terraform v0.11 mode, to
preserve compatibility. We are adding these primarily to allow the v0.12
version of a resource type schema to be specified to match the prevailing
usage of it in existing configurations, in situations where the default
mapping to v0.12 concepts is not appropriate.
This commit adds only the fields themselves and the InternalValidate rules
for them. A subsequent commit for Terraform v0.12 will add the behavior
as part of the protocol version 5 shim layer.
Sets rely on diffs being complete for all elements, even when they are
unchanged. When encountering a DiffSuppressFunc inside a set the diffs
were being dropped entirely, possible causing set elements to be lost.
With the introduction of explicit "null" in 0.12 it's possible for a value
that is unknown during plan to become a known null during apply, so we
need to slightly weaken our validation rules to accommodate that, in
particular skipping the validation of conflicting attributes if the result
could potentially be valid after the unknown values become known.
This change is in the codepath that is common to both 0.12 and 0.11
callers, but that's safe because 0.11 re-runs validation during the apply
step and so will still catch problems here, albeit in the apply step
rather than in the plan step, thus matching the 0.12 behavior. This new
behavior is a superset of the old in the sense that everything that was
valid before is still valid.
The implementation here also causes us to skip all other validation for
an attribute whose value is unknown. Most of the downstream validation
functions handle this directly anyway, but again this doesn't add any new
failure cases, and should clean up some of the rough edges we've seen with
unknown values in 0.11 once people upgrade to 0.12-compatible providers.
Any issues we now short-circuit during planning will still be caught
during apply.
While working on this I found that the existing "Not a list" test was not
actually testing the correct behavior, so this also includes a tweak to
that to ensure that it really is checking the "should be a list" path
rather than the "cannot be set" codepath it was inadvertently testing
before.
Terraform now handles any actual "diffing" of resource, and the existing
Diff functions are only used to shim the schema.Provider to the new
methods. Since terraform is handling what used to be the Diff, the
provider now should not modify the diff based on RequiresNew due to it
interfering with the ignore_changes handling.
For historical reasons, the handling of element types for maps is inconsistent with other collection types.
Here we begin a multi-step process to make it consistent, starting by supporting both the "consistent" form of using a schema.Schema and an existing erroneous form of using a schema.Type directly. In subsequent commits we will phase out the erroneous form and require the schema.Schema approach, the same as we do for TypeList and TypeSet.
This new codepath with the getDiff "customzed" return value, along with
the associated test need to be removed as soon as we can support unset
fields from the config, so we don't continue to carry this broken
behavior forward any longer than needed.
This extends the internal diffChange method so that ResourceDiff's
implementation of it can report back whether or not the value came from
a customized diff.
This is an effort to work to preserve the pre-ResourceDiff behaviour
that ignores the diff for computed keys when the old value was populated
but the new value wasn't - this behaviour is actually being depended on
by users that are using it to exploit using zero values in modules. This
should allow both scenarios to co-exist by shifting the NewComputed
exemption over to exempting values that come from diff customization.
This reverts one of the changes from 6a4f7b0, which broke empty strings
being seen as unset for computed values.
This breaks a number of other tests, and is only an intermediate change
for evaluating other solutions.
Restoring the naming of this field in the resource back to
CustomizeDiff, as this is generally more descriptive of the process
that's happening, despite the lengthy name.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
* 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.
