* website/contributing: update contribution documentation
This PR seeks to remove outdated and incorrect information. There is
still work to be done updating the information that's left; this is
merely the first step.
The cidrsubnets function signature is intentionally very low-level and
focused on the core requirement of generating addresses. This registry
module then wraps it with some additional functionality to make it more
convenient to generate and use subnet address ranges.
This is a companion to cidrsubnet that allows bulk-allocation of multiple
subnet addresses at once, with automatic numbering.
Unlike cidrsubnet, cidrsubnets allows each of the allocations to have a
different prefix length, and will pack the networks consecutively into the
given address space. cidrsubnets can potentially create more complicated
addressing schemes than cidrsubnet alone can, because it's able to take
into account the full set of requested prefix lengths rather than just
one at a time.
* command/import: properly use `-provider` supplied on the command line
The import command now attaches the provider configuration in the resource
instance, if set. That config is attached to the NodeAbstractResource
during the import graph building. This prevents errors when the implied
provider is not actually in the configuration at all, which may happen
when a configuration is using the `-beta` version of a provider (and
only that `-beta` version).
* command/import: fix variable reassignment and update docs
Fixes#22564
Now that the most common cause of unknowns (invalid resource indexes) is
caught earlier, we can validate that the final apply config is wholly
known before attempting to apply it. This ensures that we're applying
the configuration we intend, and not silently dropping values.
Continue only evaluating resource at a whole and push the indexing of
the resource down into the expression evaluation.
The exception here is that `self` must be an instance which must be
extracted from the resource. We now also add the entire resource to the
context, which was previously only partially populated with the self
referenced instance.
Always return the entire resource object from
evaluationStateData.GetResource, rather than parsing the references for
individual instances. This allows for later evaluation of resource
indexes so we can return errors when they don't exist, and prevent
errors when short-circuiting around invalid indexes in conditionals.
In order to allow lazy evaluation of resource indexes, we can't index
resources immediately via GetResourceInstance. Change the evaluation to
always return whole Resources via GetResource, and index individual
instances during expression evaluation.
This will allow us to always check for invalid index errors rather than
returning an unknown value and ignoring it during apply.
The documentation for the -target option warns that it's intended for
exceptional circumstances only and not for routine use, but that's not a
very prominent location for that warning and so some users miss it.
Here we make the warning more prominent by including it directly in the
Terraform output when -target is in use. We first warn during planning
that the plan might be incomplete, and then warn again after apply
concludes and direct the user to run "terraform plan" to make sure that
there are no further changes outstanding. The latter message is intended
to reinforce that -target should only be a one-off operation and that you
should always run without it soon after to ensure that the workspace is
left in a consistent, converged state.
