When calculating the unknown values for JSON plan output, we would
previously recursively call the `unknownAsBool` function on the current
sub-tree twice, if any values were unknown. This was wasteful, but not
noticeable for normal Terraform resource shapes.
However for deeper nested object values, such as Kubernetes manifests,
this was a severe performance problem, causing `terraform show -json` to
take several hours to render a plan.
This commit reuses the already calculated unknown value for the subtree,
and adds benchmark coverage to demonstrate the improvement.
The JSON plan configuration data now includes a `full_name` field for
providers. This addition warrants a backwards compatible increment to
the version number.
When rendering configuration as JSON, we have a single map of provider
configurations at the top level, since these are globally applicable.
Each resource has an opaque key into this map which points at the
configuration data for the provider.
This commit fixes two bugs in this implementation:
- Resources in non-root modules had an invalid provider config key,
which meant that there was never a valid reference to the provider
config block. These keys were prefixed with the local module name
instead of the path to the module. This is now corrected.
- Modules with passed provider configs would point to either an empty
provider config block or one which is not present at all. This has
been fixed so that these resources point to the provider config block
from the calling module (or wherever up the module tree it was
originally defined).
We also add a "full_name" key-value pair to the provider config block,
with the entire fully-qualified provider name including hostname and
namespace.
Previously we had three different layers all thinking they were
responsible for substituting a default value for an unset root module
variable:
- the local backend, via logic in backend.ParseVariableValues
- the context.Plan function (and other similar functions) trying to
preprocess the input variables using
terraform.mergeDefaultInputVariableValues .
- the newer prepareFinalInputVariableValue, which aims to centralize all
of the variable preparation logic so it can be common to both root and
child module variables.
The second of these was also trying to handle type constraint checking,
which is also the responsibility of the central function and not something
we need to handle so early.
Only the last of these consistently handles both root and child module
variables, and so is the one we ought to keep. The others are now
redundant and are causing prepareFinalInputVariableValue to get a slightly
corrupted view of the caller's chosen variable values.
To rectify that, here we remove the two redundant layers altogether and
have unset root variables pass through as cty.NilVal all the way to the
central prepareFinalInputVariableValue function, which will then handle
them in a suitable way which properly respects the "nullable" setting.
This commit includes some test changes in the terraform package to make
those tests no longer rely on the mergeDefaultInputVariableValues logic
we've removed, and to instead explicitly set cty.NilVal for all unset
variables to comply with our intended contract for PlanOpts.SetVariables,
and similar. (This is so that we can more easily catch bugs in callers
where they _don't_ correctly handle input variables; it allows us to
distinguish between the caller explicitly marking a variable as unset vs.
not describing it at all, where the latter is a bug in the caller.)
This uses the decoupled build and run strategy to run the e2etests so that
we can arrange to run the tests against the real release packages produced
elsewhere in this workflow, rather than ones generated just in time by
the test harness.
The modifications to make-archive.sh here make it more consistent with its
originally-intended purpose of producing a harness for testing "real"
release executables. Our earlier compromise of making it include its own
terraform executable came from a desire to use that script as part of
manual cross-platform testing when we weren't yet set up to support
automation of those tests as we're doing here. That does mean, however,
that the terraform-e2etest package content must be combined with content
from a terraform release package in order to produce a valid contest for
running the tests.
We use a single job to cross-compile the test harness for all of the
supported platforms, because that build is relatively fast and so not
worth the overhead of matrix build, but then use a matrix build to
actually run the tests so that we can run them in a worker matching the
target platform.
We currently have access only to amd64 (x64) runners in GitHub Actions
and so for the moment this process is limited only to the subset of our
supported platforms which use that architecture.
Previously we would only ever add new lock entries or update existing
ones. However, it's possible that over time a module may _cease_ using
a particular provider, at which point we ought to remove it from the lock
file so that operations won't fail when seeing that the provider cache
directory is inconsistent with the lock file.
Now the provider installer (EnsureProviderVersions) will remove any lock
file entries that relate to providers not included in the given
requirements, which therefore makes the resulting lock file properly match
the set of packages the installer wrote into the cache.
This does potentially mean that someone could inadvertently defeat the
lock by removing a provider dependency, running "terraform init", then
undoing that removal, and finally running "terraform init" again. However,
that seems relatively unlikely compared to the likelihood of removing
a provider and keeping it removed, and in the event it _did_ happen the
changes to the lock entry for that provider would be visible in the diff
of the provider lock file as usual, and so could be noticed in code
review just as for any other change to dependencies.
When showing a saved plan, we do not need to check the state lineage
against current state, because the plan cannot be applied. This is
relevant when plan and apply specify a `-state` argument to choose a
non-default state file. In this case, the stored prior state in the plan
will not match the default state file, so a lineage check will always
error.
A regression introduced in d72a413ef8
The comment explains, but TLDR: The remote backend actually *depended*
on being able to write it's backend state even though an 'error'
occurred (no workspaces).
This is an explicit technical debt note that our plan renderer isn't able
to give a fully-specific hint in this particular case of deletion reason.
This reason code means that at least one of the module instance keys in
the resource's module path doesn't match an instance declared in the
configuration, but the plan data structure doesn't retain enough
information to know which is the first step in the path which refers to
a missing instance, and so we just always return the whole thing.
This would be confusing if we return module.foo[0].module.bar not being
in the configuration as a result of module.foo not using "count"; it would
be better to say "module.foo[0] is not in the configuration" instead.
It would be most ideal to handle all of the different situations that
ResourceInstanceDeleteBecauseWrongRepetition's rendering does, so that we
can go further and explain exactly _why_ that module instance isn't
declared anymore.
We can do neither of those things today because only the Terraform Core
"expander" component knows that information, and we've discarded that
by the time we get to rendering a plan. To fix this one day would require
preserving in the plan information about which module instances are
declared, as a separate sidecar data structure from which resource
instances we're taking actions on, and then using that to identify which
step in addr.Module here first selects an invalid instance.
When migrating from an explicit local backend to Terraform Cloud, we ask
if you want to migrate the state. If there is no state to migrate we
should not ask if they want to migrate the emptiness.
When going from a local backend to Terraform Cloud, if you skip the
`terraform init` and run `terraform apply` this will give the user more
clear instructions.
When terraform detects that a user has no workspaces that map to their current configuration, it will prompt the user to create a new workspace and enter a value name. If the user ignores the prompt and exits it, the legacy backend (terraform.tfstate) will be left in a awkward state:
1. This saved backend config will show a diff for the JSON attributes "serial", "tags" and "hash"
2. "Terraform workspace list" will show an empty list
3. "Terraform apply" will run successfully using the previous workspace, from the previous config, not the one from the current saved backend config
4. The cloud config is not reflective of the current working directory
Solution: If the user exits the prompt, the saved backend config should not be updated because they did not select a new workspace. They are back at the beginning where they are force to re run the init cmd again before proceeding with new changes.
We cannot programmatically migrate workspaces to Terraform Cloud without
prompts, so `-input=false` should not be allowed in those cases.
There are 4 scenarios where we need input from a user to complete
migrating workspaces to Terraform Cloud.
1.) Migrate from a single local workspace to Terraform Cloud
* Terraform config for a local backend. Implicit local (no backend
specified) is fine.
* `terraform init` and `terraform apply`
* Change the Terraform config to use the cloud block
* `terraform init -input=false`
* You should now see an error message
2.) Migrate from a remote backend with a prefix to Terraform Cloud with
tags
* Create a workspace in Terraform Cloud manually. The name should
include a prefix, like "app-one"
* Have the terraform config use `backend "remote"` with a prefix set to
"app-"
* `terraform init` and `terraform apply`
* Update the Terraform config to use a cloud block with `tags
= ["app"]`. There should not be a prefix defined in the config now.
* `terraform init -input=false`
* You should now see an error message
3.) Migrate from multiple local workspaces to a single Terraform Cloud
workspace
* Create one or many local workspaces
* `terraform init` and `terraform apply` in each
* Change the Terraform config to use the cloud block
* `terraform init -input=false`
* You should now see an error message
4.) Migrate to Terraform Cloud and ask for a workspace name
* Create several local workspaces
* `terraform init` and `terraform apply` in each
* Change the Terraform config to use the cloud block with tags
* `terraform init -input=false`
* You should now see an error message
* Create a function for logic that assigns value to initReason var after changing backend configuration
Create func determineInitReason() for logic block that assigns value to initReason var after changing backend/cloud configuration block or migrating to a different type of backend configuration. Also clarify 'cloud' configuration block message to say 'Terraform Cloud configuration block has changed' instead of 'Terraform Cloud configuration has changed'.
Some of the wording here needed adjusting with the change that backends
largely reflect state snapshot storage (removing 'enhanced'
designation), and that a 'backend' is not necessarily always present.
This fixes an issue where a user could not disable initialization of the
'cloud' configuration block (As is possible with -backend=false), as
well as add some syntactic sugar around -backend by adding a mutually
exclusive -cloud alias.
Unchanged elements in nested attributes backed by sets were previously
misrendered as empty objects. This commit removes the additional
brackets and adds a count of unchanged elements.
The specialized Terraform Cloud migration process asks right up top
whether the user wants to migrate state, because there are various other
questions contingent on that answer.
Therefore we ought to just honor their earlier answer when we get to the
point of actually doing the state migration, rather than prompting again.
This is tricky because we're otherwise just reusing a codepath that's
common to both modes. Hopefully we can find a better way to do this in
a later commit, but for the moment our main motivation is minimizing risk
to the very next release.
There are a few command line options for "terraform init" which are only
relevant when working with traditional backends, with the Cloud
integration previously just mostly ignoring them, or sometimes misbehaving
slightly due to them creating an unreasonable situation.
Now we'll catch these and return explicit errors, in order to be clear
that these options are not needed nor supported in Cloud mode.
This pull request focuses on removing the prompt to rename the default
workspace when it is empty. Functionality already exists to not migrate
an empty workspace. This commit adds some clarifying language in the
comment where we do the evaluation to know whether to ask for a new name
or not. I also added an end to end test, which I should have added to
begin with.
Given: You have multiple explicit local workspaces, and the `default`
workspace is empty.
When: You migrate the workspaces to Terraform Cloud.
Then: Terraform should _not_ ask for a workspace to migrate the
`default` workspace to in Terraform Cloud.
Error diags from c.installModules() no longer cause getModules() to exit early.
Whether installModules completed successfully, errored, or was cancelled, we
try to update the manifest as best we can, preferring incomplete information
to none.
Earlier work to make "terraform init" interruptible made the getproviders
package context-aware in order to allow provider installation to be cancelled.
Here we make a similar change for module installation, which is now also
cancellable with SIGINT. This involves plumbing context through initwd and
getmodules. Functions which can make network requests now include a context
parameter whose cancellation cancels those requests.
Since the module installation code is shared, "terraform get" is now
also interruptible during module installation.
For Terraform Cloud users using the 'remote' backend, the existing
'pattern' prompt should work just fine - but because their workspaces
are already present in TFC, the 'migration' here is really just
realigning their local workspaces with Terraform Cloud. Instead of
forcing users to do the mental gymnastics of what it means to migrate
from 'prefix' - and because their remote workspaces probably already exist and
already conform to Terraform Cloud's naming concerns - streamline the
process for them and calculate the necessary pattern to migrate as-is,
without any user intervention necessary.
After migrating to TFC with renamed workspaces, automatically select
what was the previous current workspace on behalf of the user. We don't
need to make the user reselect.
Note these change do break the internal/cloud/e2e tests; they are in a
sad state that needs adjusting anyway, so I'm not updating them for
these changes at this time.
The Meta.backend_C_r_S_unchanged() method was sadly a bit of a mess.
It seems to have originally been used as a method to be called
when the backend is not changing, with an extra assumption that if the
configured backend's hash doesn't match the one in state, surely the
hash should just be updated as an option might have been moved to
command line flags.
However, this function was used throughout this file as 'the method to
load the initialized (but not necessarily configured) backend',
regardless of whether or not it is the same (unchanged). This is in
addition to Meta.backendFromState(), which is used to load the same
thing except in the main codepath of 'init -backend=false'.
These changes separate the concerns of backend_C_r_S_unchanged() by
1) Fetching the saved backend (savedBackend())
2) Updating the hash value in the backend cache when appropriate (either
by leaving it to the caller to do themselves or by calling
updateSavedupdateSavedBackendHash())
This allows migration codepaths to *not* update the hash value until
after a migration has successfully taken place.
