When the user aborts input, it may end up as an unknown value, which
needs to be converted to null for PrepareConfig.
Allow PrepareConfig to accept null config values in order to fill in
missing defaults.
We are now allowing the legacy SDK to opt out of the safety checks we try
to do after plan and apply, and so in such cases the before/after values
in planned changes may be inconsistent with our usual rules.
To avoid adding lots of extra complexity to the diff renderer to deal with
these situations, instead we'll normalize the handling of nested blocks
prior to using these values.
In the long run it'd be better to do this normalization at the source,
immediately after we receive an object from a provider using the opt-out,
but we're doing this at the outermost layer for now to avoid risking
unintended impacts on other Terraform Core components when we're just
about to enter the beta phase of the v0.12.0 release cycle.
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
We brought forward a new implementation of "terraform validate" that was
originally scheduled for a later release after finding that it would be
simpler than reworking the old implementation for new v0.12 assumptions,
but we didn't yet implement "terraform plan -validate-only" in spite of
it being mentioned in the updated docs for "terraform validate".
For now then, the documentation will make the weaker suggestion of running
"terraform plan" to validate a particular _run_ rather than a particular
_module_, which is the closest thing we have for now. At some point after
v0.12.0 we will evaluate whether a validate-only mode for "terraform plan"
(which could then run without configuring the providers at all) is needed.
A common new-user mistake is to place variable _declarations_ into .tfvars
files instead of variable _values_. To guide towards the correct approach
here, we add a specialized error message for that situation that includes
guidance on the distinction between declaring and setting values for
variables, and an example of what setting a value should look like.
* command/jsonconfig: provider config marshaling enhancements
This PR fixes a bug wherein the keys in "provider_config" were the
"addrs.ProviderConfig", and therefore being overwritten for each module,
instead of the intended "addrs.AbsProviderConfig".
We realized that there was still opportunity for ambiguity, for example
if a user made a provider alias that was the same name as a module, so
we opted to use the syntax `modulename:providername(.provideralias)`
* command/json*: fixed a bug where we were attempting to lookup schemas
with the provider name, instead of provider type.
* command/show: add "module_version" to "module_calls" in config portion
of `terraform show`.
Also extended the `terraform show -json` test to run `init` so we could
add examples with modules. This does _not_ test the "module_version"
yet, but it _did_ help expose a bug in jsonplan where modules were
duplicated. This is also fixed in this PR.
* command/jsonconfig: rename version to version_constraint and
resolved_source to source.
* command/jsonconfig: display module variables in config output
The tests have been updated to reflect this change.
* command/jsonconfig: properly handle variables with nil defaults
Now that we're actually verifying correct behavior of providers during
plan and apply, our mock providers need to behave like real providers,
properly propagating any configured values through the plan and into the
final state.
For most of these it was simpler to just switch over to using the newer
PlanResourceChangeFn mock interface, away from the legacy DiffFn approach,
because then we can just return the ProposedNewState verbatim because our
schema for these tests does not require any default values to be
populated.
* command/jsonplan:
- add variables to plan output
- print known planned values for resources
Previously, resource attribute values were only displayed if the values
were wholly known. Now we will filter the unknown values out of the
change and print the known values.
* command/jsonstate: added depends_on and tainted fields
* command/show: update tests to reflect added fields
We now require a provider to populate all of its defaults -- including
unknown value placeholders -- during PlanResourceChange. That means the
mock provider for testing "terraform show -json" must now manage the
population of the computed "id" attribute during plan.
To make this logic a little easier, we also change the ApplyResourceChange
implementation to fill in a non-null id, since that makes it easier for
the mock PlanResourceChange to recognize when it needs to populate that
default value during an update.
* command/jsonstate: do not hide SchemaVersion of '0'
* command/jsonconfig: module_calls should be a map
* command/jsonplan: include current terraform version in output
* command/jsonconfig: properly marshal expressions from a module call
Previously this was looking at the root module's variables, instead of
the child module variables, to build the module schema. This fixes that
bug.
* command/show: add support for -json output for state
* command/jsonconfig: do not marshal empty count/for each expressions
* command/jsonstate: continue gracefully if the terraform version is somehow missing from state
* command/jsonplan: sort resources by address
* command/show: extend test case to include resources with count
* command/json*: document resource ordering as consistent but undefined
* command/show: properly marshal attribute values to json
marshalAttributeValues in jsonstate and jsonplan packages was returning
a cty.Value, which json/encoding could not marshal. These functions now
convert those cty.Values into json.RawMessages.
* command/jsonplan: planned values should include resources that are not changing
* command/jsonplan: return a filtered list of proposed 'after' attributes
Previously, proposed 'after' attributes were not being shown if the
attributes were not WhollyKnown. jsonplan now iterates through all the
`after` attributes, omitting those which are not wholly known.
The same was roughly true for after_unknown, and that structure is now
correctly populated. In the future we may choose to filter the
after_unknown structure to _only_ display unknown attributes, instead of
all attributes.
* command/jsonconfig: use a unique key for providers so that aliased
providers don't get munged together
This now uses the same "provider" key from configs.Module, e.g.
`providername.provideralias`.
* command/jsonplan: unknownAsBool needs to iterate through objects that are not wholly known
* command/jsonplan: properly display actions as strings according to the RFC,
instead of a plans.Action string.
For example:
a plans.Action string DeleteThenCreate should be displayed as ["delete",
"create"]
Tests have been updated to reflect this.
* command/jsonplan: return "null" for unknown list items.
The length of a list could be meaningful on its own, so we will turn
unknowns into "null". The same is less likely true for maps and objects,
so we will continue to omit unknown values from those.
We missed this on the initial update pass because this was calling
directly into the module package API rather than going through the Meta
methods that we updated for the new config loader.
m.installModules here is the same method that "terraform init" is using
for this purpose, ensuring the two will behave the same way. This changes
the output a little compared to the old installer, but it still includes
the important information about where each module is coming from.
This possibility was lost in the rewrite to use HCL2, but it's used by
a number of external utilities and text editor integrations, so we'll
restore it here.
Using the stdin/stdout mode is generally preferable for text editor use
since it allows formatting of the in-memory buffer rather than directly
the file on disk, but for editors that don't have support for that sort of
tooling it can be convenient to just launch a single command and directly
modify the on-disk file.
Since the HCL formatter only works with tokens, it can in principle be
called with any input and produce some output. However, when given invalid
syntax it will tend to produce nonsensical results that may drastically
change the input file and be hard for the user to undo.
Since there's no strong reason to try to format an invalid or incomplete
file, we'll instead try parsing first and fail if parsing does not
complete successfully.
Since we talk directly to the HCL API here this is only a _syntax_ check,
and so it can be applied to files that are invalid in other ways as far
as Terraform is concerned, such as using unsupported top-level block types,
resource types that don't exist, etc.
