We have a few different .proto files in this repository that all need to
get recompiled into .pb.go files each time we change them, but we were
previously handling that with some scripts that just assumed that protoc
and the relevant plugins were already installed on the system somewhere,
at the right versions.
In practice we've been constantly flopping between different versions of
these tools due to folks having different versions installed in their
development environments. In particular, the state of the .pb.go files
in the prior commit wasn't reproducible by any single version of the tools
because they've all slightly diverged from one another.
In the interests of being more consistent here and avoiding accidental
inconsistencies, we'll now centralize the protocol buffer compile steps
all into a single tool that knows how to fetch and install the expected
versions of the various tools we need and then run those tools with the
right options to get a stable result.
If we want to upgrade to either a newer protoc or a newer protoc-gen-go
in future then we'll do that in a central location and update all of the
.pb.go files at the same time, so that we're always consistently tracking
the same version of protocol buffers everywhere.
While doing this I attempted to keep as close as possible to the toolchain
we'd most recently used, but since they were not consistent with each
other they've now all changed which version numbers they record at minimum,
and the planproto stub in particular now also has a slightly different
descriptor serialization but is otherwise offering the same API.
* providers.Interface: rename ValidateDataSourceConfig to
ValidateDataResourceConfig
This PR came about after renaming ValidateResourceTypeConfig to
ValidateResourceConfig: I now understand that we'd called it the former
instead of the latter to indicate that the function wasn't necessarily
operating on a resource that actually exists. A possibly-more-accurate
renaming of both functions might then be ValidateManagedResourceConfig
and ValidateDataResourceConfig.
The next commit will update the protocol (v6 only) as well; these are in
separate commits for reviewers and will get squashed together before
merging.
* extend renaming to protov6
This is the first commit for plugin protocol v6. This is currently
unused (dead) code; future commits will add the necessary conversion
packages, extend configschema, and modify the providers.Interface.
The new plugin protocol includes the following changes:
- A new field has been added to Attribute: NestedType. This will be the
key new feature in plugin protocol v6
- Several massages were renamed for consistency with the verb-noun
pattern seen in _most_ messages.
- The prepared_config has been removed from PrepareProviderConfig
(renamed ValidateProviderConfig), as it has never been used.
- The provisioner service has been removed entirely. This has no impact
on built-in provisioners. 3rd party provisioners are not supported by
the SDK and are not included in this protocol at all.
