Now that the local backend can be cancelled during plan and refresh, we
don't really need the testShutdownHook. Simplify the tests by just
checking for Stop being called on the provider.
Add a shutdown hook to verify that a context has been correctly
cancelled, so we can remove the sleep and stop guessing.
Add a plan version of the shutdown test as well.
There was no cancellation context for a plan, so it would always have to
run to completion as SIGINT was being swallowed.
Move the shutdown channel to the command Meta since it's used in
multiple commands.
Validation is the best time to return detailed diagnostics
to the user since we're much more likely to have source
location information, etc than we are in later operations.
This change doesn't actually add any detail to the messages
yet, but it changes the interface so that we can gradually
introduce more detailed diagnostics over time.
While here there are some minor adjustments to some of the
messages to improve their consistency with terminology we
use elsewhere.
As part of the 0.10 core/provider split we moved this provider, along with
all the others, out into its own repository.
In retrospect, the "terraform" provider doesn't really make sense to be
separated since it's just a thin wrapper around some core code anyway,
and so re-integrating it into core avoids the confusion that results when
Terraform Core and the terraform provider have inconsistent versions of
the backend code and dependencies.
There is no good reason to use a different version of the backend code
in the provider than in core, so this new "internal provider" mechanism
is stricter than the old one: it's not possible to use an external build
of this provider at all, and version constraints for it are rejected as
a result.
This provider is also run in-process rather than in a child process, since
again it's just a very thin wrapper around code that's already running
in Terraform core anyway, and so the process barrier between the two does
not create enough advantage to warrant the additional complexity.
Change "Downloading" to 'Initializing" to match the provider loading
dialog.
List each module being loaded.
If a regisry module is being downloaded, list the registry host, and the
version discovered.
Show the source string from the config that is being fetched, rather
than the go-getter url. The full source can be found in the logs for
debugging.
Add much more extensive logging
This allows the user to customize the location where Terraform stores
the files normally placed in the ".terraform" subdirectory, if e.g. the
current working directory is not writable.
In the 0.10 release we added an opt-in mode where Terraform would prompt
interactively for confirmation during apply. We made this opt-in to give
those who wrap Terraform in automation some time to update their scripts
to explicitly opt out of this behavior where appropriate.
Here we switch the default so that a "terraform apply" with no arguments
will -- if it computes a non-empty diff -- display the diff and wait for
the user to type "yes" in similar vein to the "terraform destroy" command.
This makes the commonly-used "terraform apply" a safe workflow for
interactive use, so "terraform plan" is now mainly for use in automation
where a separate planning step is used. The apply command remains
non-interactive when given an explicit plan file.
The previous behavior -- though not recommended -- can be obtained by
explicitly setting the -auto-approve option on the apply command line,
and indeed that is how all of the tests are updated here so that they can
continue to run non-interactively.
Update the command package to use the new module storage. Move the old
command output strings into the module storage itself. This could be
moved back later either by using ui callbacks, or designing a module
storage interface once we know what the final requirements will look
like.
We encourage users to share the "terraform version" output as part of
filing an issue, but previously it only printed the core Terraform version
and this left provider maintainers with no information about which
_provider_ version an issue relates to.
Here we make a best effort to show versions for providers, though we will
omit some or all of them if either "terraform init" hasn't been run (and
so no providers were selected yet) or if there are other inconsistencies
that would cause Terraform to object on startup and require a re-run of
"terraform init".
Two different errors here caused this test to pass even though it was
incorrect: the wanted version string was incorrect, but the test for it
was also inverted, and so together this made the test pass even though
it was actually not testing the output at all.
Update all references to the version values to use the new package.
The VersionString function was left in the terraform package
specifically for the aws provider, which is vendored. We can remove that
last call once the provider is updated.
The command package is the main place we need access to these, so that
we can use them during init (to install packages, for example) and so that
we can use them to configure remote backends.
For the moment we're just providing an empty credentials object, which
will start to include both statically-configured and
helper-program-provided credentials sources in subsequent commits.
This uses the new diagnostics printer for config-related errors in the
main five commands that deal with config.
The immediate motivation for this is to allow HCL2-produced diagnostics
to be printed out in their full fidelity, though it also slightly changes
the presentation of other errors so that they are not presented in all
red text, which can be hard to read on some terminals.
This new method showDiagnostics takes any value that would be accepted by
tfdiags.Append and renders it to the UI.
This is intended to encourage consistent handling of the different kinds
of errors and diagnostics that can be produced, and allow richer error
objects like the HCL2 diagnostics to be easily unwrapped and shown in
their full-fidelity.
Previously we were using fmt.Sprintf and thus forcing the stringification
of the wrapped error.
Using errwrap allows us to unpack the original error at the top of the
stack, which is useful when the wrapped error is really a hcl.Diagnostics
containing potentially-multiple errors and possibly warnings.
This is a tough one to unit tests because the behavior is tangled up in
the code that hits releases.hashicorp.com, so we'll add this e2etest as
some extra insurance that this works end-to-end.
Since we now have a guide that recommends some specific ways to run
Terraform in automation, we can mimic those suggestions in an e2e test and
thus ensure they keep working.
Here we test the three different approaches suggested in the guide:
- init, plan, apply (main case)
- init, apply (e.g. for deploying to a QA/staging environment)
- init, plan (e.g. for verifying a pull request)
In 6712192724 we stopped counting data
source destroys in the destroy tally since they are an implementation
detail.
This caused this test to start failing, though since the new behavior is
correct here we just update the test to match.
Shell tab completion for all of the subcommands under
"terraform workspace", providing the appropriate kind of auto-complete for
each argument, along with completion for for any flags.
This helper is a Predictor for the "complete" package that tries to
auto-complete workspace names from the current backend, if it's
initialized and operable.
The predictors built in to the "complete" package assume that the same
type of argument is repeated indefinitely, but most Terraform commands
don't work like that, so this helper allows us to define a sequence of
predictors that apply to each argument in turn.
This new option allows importing without configuration present.
Configuration is required by default as a confirmation that the provided resource name is correct, but it can be useful to override this in tools that wrap Terraform to do more involved operations.
In #15884 we adjusted the plan output to give an explicit command to run
to apply a plan, whereas before this command was just alluded to in the
prose.
Since releasing that, we've got good feedback that it's confusing to
include such instructions when Terraform is running in a workflow
automation tool, because such tools usually abstract away exactly what
commands are run and require users to take different actions to
proceed through the workflow.
To accommodate such environments while retaining helpful messages for
normal CLI usage, here we introduce a new environment variable
TF_IN_AUTOMATION which, when set to a non-empty value, is a hint to
Terraform that it isn't being run in an interactive command shell and
it should thus tone down the "next steps" messaging.
The documentation for this setting is included as part of the "...in
automation" guide since it's not generally useful in other cases. We also
intentionally disclaim comprehensive support for this since we want to
avoid creating an extreme number of "if running in automation..."
codepaths that would increase the testing matrix and hurt maintainability.
The focus is specifically on the output of the three commands we give in
the automation guide, which at present means the following two situations:
* "terraform init" does not include the final paragraphs that suggest
running "terraform plan" and tell you in what situations you might need
to re-run "terraform init".
* "terraform plan" does not include the final paragraphs that either
warn about not specifying "-out=..." or instruct to run
"terraform apply" with the generated plan file.
In 3ea1592 the plan rendering was refactored to add an extra indirection
of producing a display-oriented plan object first and then rendering from
that object.
There was a logic error while adapting the existing plan rendering code
to use the new display-oriented object: the core InstanceDiff object sets
the "Destroy" flag (a boolean) for both DiffDestroy and DiffDestroyCreate,
and so this code previously checked r.Destroy to recognize the
"destroy-create" case. This was incorrectly adapted to a check for the
display action being DiffDestroy, when it should actually have been
DiffDestroyCreate.
The effect of this bug was to cause the "(forces new resource)"
annotations to not be displayed on attributes, though the resource-level
information still correctly reflected that a new resource was required.
This fix restores the attribute-level annotations.
The previous diff presentation was rather "wordy", and not very friendly
to those who can't see color either because they have color-blindness or
because they don't have a color-supporting terminal.
This new presentation uses the actual symbols used in the plan output
and tries to be more concise. It also uses some framing characters to
try to separate the different stages of "terraform plan" to make it
easier to visually navigate.
The apply command also adopts this new plan presentation, in preparation
for "terraform apply" (with interactive plan confirmation) becoming the
primary, safe workflow in the next major release.
Finally, we standardize on the terminology "perform" and "actions" rather
than "execute" and "changes" to reflect the fact that reading is now an
action and that isn't actually a _change_.
Previously the rendered plan output was constructed directly from the
core plan and then annotated with counts derived from the count hook.
At various places we applied little adjustments to deal with the fact that
the user-facing diff model is not identical to the internal diff model,
including the special handling of data source reads and destroys. Since
this logic was just muddled into the rendering code, it behaved
inconsistently with the tally of adds, updates and deletes.
This change reworks the plan formatter so that it happens in two stages:
- First, we produce a specialized Plan object that is tailored for use
in the UI. This applies all the relevant logic to transform the
physical model into the user model.
- Second, we do a straightforward visual rendering of the display-oriented
plan object.
For the moment this is slightly overkill since there's only one rendering
path, but it does give us the benefit of letting the counts be derived
from the same data as the full detailed diff, ensuring that they'll stay
consistent.
Later we may choose to have other UIs for plans, such as a
machine-readable output intended to drive a web UI. In that case, we'd
want the web UI to consume a serialization of the _display-oriented_ plan
so that it doesn't need to re-implement all of these UI special cases.
This introduces to core a new diff action type for "refresh". Currently
this is used _only_ in the UI layer, to represent data source reads.
Later it would be good to use this type for the core diff as well, to
improve consistency, but that is left for another day to keep this change
focused on the UI.
Previously we were checking required_version only during "real" operations, and not during initialization. Catching it during init is better because that's the first command users run on a new working directory.
Go 1.9 adds this new function which, when called, marks the caller as
being a "helper function". Helper function stack frames are then skipped
when trying to find a line of test code to blame for a test failure, so
that the code in the main test function appears in the test failure output
rather than a line within the helper function itself.
This covers many -- but probaly not all -- of our test helpers across
various packages.
Fix the -state and -state-out wording to be consistent with other
commands. Remove the erroneous reference to remote state in the website
version of the flag description.
While the `local.Local` backend is the only implementation of
`backend.Local`, creating the backend with `ForceLocal` bypasses the
`backend.Backend` in the `local.Local` causing a local state to be
implicitly created rather than using the configured state backend.
Add a test that imports into a configured backend (using the "local"
backend as a remote state proxy). This further confirms the confusing
nature of ForceLocal, as the backend _is_ local, but not from the
viewpoint of meta.Backend.
This restores the earlier behavior of the first positional argument to
terraform init in 0.9, but as a command line option.
The positional argument was removed to improve consistency with other
commands that take a working directory as their first positional argument.
It was originally intended that this functionality would return in a
later release along with some other general improvements to Terraform's
module handling, but we're introducing here an interim solution that
uses the existing module source concept, to allow for easier porting of
workflows that previously depended on the automatic copy behavior.
In a future release this feature may change again as the module
improvements design firms up, but we expect it to be broadly compatible
with this temporary state.
In order to use a backend for the state commands, we need an initialized
meta. Use a single Meta instance rather than temporary ones to make sure
the backends are initialized properly.
This e2etest runs an init, plan, apply, destroy sequence against a test
configuration using the real template and null providers downloaded from
the official repository.
This test _does_ trample a bit on the scope of some already-existing
tests, but this is mainly just to check our assumptions about how
Terraform behaves to ensure that we can reach our main conclusion here:
that the main Terraform workflow commands interact correctly with each
other in real use and we can complete the full workflow.
We already have good tests for the business logic around provider
installation, but the existing tests all stub out the main repository
server. This test completes that coverage by verifying that the installer
is able to run against the real repository and install an official release
of the template provider.
This basic test is here primarily because it's one of the few that can
run without reaching out to external services, and so it means our usual
test runs will catch situations where the main executable build is
somehow broken.
The version command itself is not very interesting to test, but it's
convenient in that its behavior is very predictable and self-contained.
Previously we had no automated testing of whether we can produce a
Terraform executable that actually works. Our various functional tests
have good coverage of specific Terraform features and whole operations,
but we lacked end-to-end testing of actual usage of the generated binary,
without any stubbing.
This package is intended as a vehicle for such end-to-end testing. When
run normally under "go test" it will produce a build of the main Terraform
binary and make it available for tests to execute. The harness exposes
a flag for whether tests are allowed to reach out to external network
services, controlled with our standard TF_ACC environment variable, so
that basic local tests can be safely run as part of "make test" while
more elaborate tests can be run easily when desired.
It also provides a separate mode of operation where the included script
make-archive.sh can be used to produce a self-contained test archive that
can be copied to another system to run the tests there. This is intended
to allow testing of cross-compiled binaries, by shipping them over to
the target OS and architecture to run without requiring a full Go compiler
installation on the target system.
The goal here is not to test again functionality that's already
well-covered by our existing tests, but rather to test chains of normal
operations against the build binary that are not otherwise tested
together.
The improved err scanner loop in meta causes these to race. There's no
need to write back to the same commands struct, so just use a new
instance in each iteration.
Meta.process was relying on the system readdir to order the arguments,
but readdir doesn't guarantee any ordering. Read the directory contents
as a whole and sort them in place before adding the tfvars files.
Previously the APIs for state persistence and management had some problematic cases where we depended on hidden mutations of the state structure as side-effects of otherwise-innocent-looking operations, which was a frequent cause of accidental regressions due to faulty assumptions.
This new model attempts to isolate certain state mutations to just within the state managers, and makes the state managers work on separated snapshots of the state rather than on the "live" object to reduce the risk of race conditions.
Due to how the state filter machinery works, passing no arguments is valid
and matches _all_ resources.
It is very unlikely that someone wants to remove everything from state, so
this ends up being a very dangerous default for the "terraform state rm"
command, and surprising for someone who perhaps runs it looking for the
usage information.
So we'll be pragmatic here and reject the no-arguments case for this
command, accepting that it makes the unlikely case of intentionally
deleting all resources harder in order to make it less likely that it
will happen _unintentionally_.
If someone does really want to remove all resources from the state, they
can provide an explicit empty string argument, but this isn't documented
because it's a weird case that doesn't seem worth mentioning.
This fixes#15283.
The state returned from the testState helper shouldn't rely on any
mutations caused by WriteState. The Init function (which is analogous to
NewState) shoudl set any required fields.
This command serves as an alternative to the human-oriented list of workspaces for scripting use-cases where it's useful to know the _current_ workspace name.
Previously we relied on a constellation of coincidences for everything to
work out correctly with state serials. In particular, callers needed to
be very careful about mutating states (or not) because many different bits
of code shared pointers to the same objects.
Here we move to a model where all of the state managers always use
distinct instances of state, copied when WriteState is called. This means
that they are truly a snapshot of the state as it was at that call, even
if the caller goes on mutating the state that was passed.
We also adjust the handling of serials so that the state managers ignore
any serials in incoming states and instead just treat each Persist as
the next version after what was most recently Refreshed.
(An exception exists for when nothing has been refreshed, e.g. because
we are writing a state to a location for the first time. In that case
we _do_ trust the caller, since the given state is either a new state
or it's a copy of something we're migrating from elsewhere with its
state and lineage intact.)
The intent here is to allow the rest of Terraform to not worry about
serials and state identity, and instead just treat the state as a mutable
structure. We'll just snapshot it occasionally, when WriteState is called,
and deal with serials _only_ at persist time.
This is intended as a more robust version of #15423, which was a quick
hotfix to an issue that resulted from our previous slopping handling
of state serials but arguably makes the problem worse by depending on
an additional coincidental behavior of the local backend's apply
implementation.
Skips checksum validation if the `TF_SKIP_PROVIDER_VERIFY` environment variable is set. Undocumented variable, as the primary goal is to significantly improve the local provider development workflow.
We need to release the lock just before deleting the state, in case the backend
can't remove the resource while holding the lock. This is currently true for
Windows local files.
TODO: While there is little safety in locking while deleting the state, it
might be nice to be able to coordinate processes around state deletion, i.e. in
a CI environment. Adding Delete() as a required method of States would allow
the removal of the resource to be delegated from the Backend to the State
itself.
A common reason to want to use `terraform plan` is to have a chance to
review and confirm a plan before running it. If in fact that is the
only reason you are running plan, this new `terraform apply -auto-approve=false`
flag provides an easier alternative to
P=$(mktemp -t plan)
terraform refresh
terraform plan -refresh=false -out=$P
terraform apply $P
rm $P
The flag defaults to true for now, but in a future version of Terraform it will
default to false.
The import command wasn't loading the full plugin path for discovery.
Run a basic plugin init sequence, and verify we can find a plugin (even
though the plugin is invalid and will fail).
The import command wasn't loading the plugin path at all, relying on the
local directory for binaries.
Load the plugin dir into Meta, and pass in ForceLocal for consistency.
The Backend returned was going to be a Local anyway, so the added check
wasn't ensuring anything.
The "confirm" method was directly checking the meta struct's input field,
but that only represents the -input command line flag, and doesn't
respect the TF_INPUT environment variable.
By calling the Input method instead, we check both.
This fixes#15338.
When using a `state` command, if the `-state` flag is provided we do not
want to modify the Backend state. In this case we should always create a
local state instance.
The backup flag was also being ignored, and some tests were relying on
that, which have been fixed.
If we provide a -state flag to a state command, we do not want terraform
to modify the backend state. This test fails since the state specified
in the backend doesn't exist
Remove "checksum" from the error, and only indicate that the plugin has
changed.
Always show requested versions even if it's "any", and found versions of
plugins.
This change makes various minor adjustments to the rendering of plans
in the output of "terraform plan":
- Resources are identified using the standard resource address syntax,
rather than exposing the legacy internal representation used in the
module diff resource keys. This fixes#8713.
- Subjectively, having square brackets in the addresses made it look more
visually "off" when the same name but with different indices were
shown together with differing-length "symbols", so the symbols are now
all padded and right-aligned to three characters for consistent layout
across all operations.
- The -/+ action is now more visually distinct, using several different
colors to help communicate what it will do and including a more obvious
"(new resource required)" marker to help draw attention to this not
being just an update diff. This fixes#15350.
- The resources are now sorted in a manner that sorts index [10] after
index [9], rather than after index [1] as we did before. This makes it
easier to scan the list and avoids the common confusion where it seems
that there are only 10 items when in fact there are 11-20 items with
all the tens hiding further up in the list.
Previously init would crash if given these options:
-backend=false -get-plugins=true
This is because the state is used as a source of provider dependency
information, and we need to instantiate the backend to get the state.
To avoid the crash, we now use the following adjusted behavior:
- if -backend=true, we behave as before
- if -backend=false, we instead try to instantiate the backend the same
way any other command would, without modifying its configuration
- if we're able to instantiate the backend, we use it to fetch state
for dependency resolution purposes
- if the backend is not instantiable then we assume it's not yet
configured and proceed with a nil state, which may cause us to see an
incomplete picture of the dependencies but still allows the install
to succeed. Subsequently running "terraform plan" will not work until
the backend is (re-)initialized, so the incomplete picture of required
plugins is safe.
This takes care of a few dangling cases where we were still stringifying
empty version constraints, which creates confusing error messages due to
it stringing as the empty string.
For the "no suitable versions available" message, we fall back on the
"provider not found" message if no versions were found even though it's
unconstrained. This should only happen in an edge case where the
provider's index page exists on the releases server but no versions are
yet present.
For the message about plugin protocol versions, this again is an edge
case since with no constraints this should happen only if we release
an incompatible Terraform version but don't release a new version of the
plugin that's compatible. In this case we just show the constraint as
"(any version)" to make sure we always show _something_.
Previously we only did this when _upgrading_, but that's unnecessarily
specific and confusing since e.g. plugins can get upgraded implicitly by
constraint changes, which would not then trigger the purge process.
Instead, we'll assume that the user is able to easily re-download plugins
that were purged here, or if they need more specific guarantees they will
manage manually a plugin directory and disable the auto-install behavior
using `-plugin-dir`.
Now we are able to recognize and handle a few special error situations
from plugin installation with more verbose error messages that give the
user better feedback on how to proceed.
The -plugin-dir option lets the user specify custom search paths for
plugins. This overrides all other plugin search paths, and prevents the
auto-installation of plugins.
We also make sure that the availability of plugins is always checked
during init, even if -get-plugins=false or -plugin-dir is set.
init should always write intternal data to the current directory, even
when a path is provided. The inherited behavior no longer applies to the
new use of init.
Now that init can take a directory for configuration, the old behavior
of writing the .terraform data directory into the target path no longer
makes sense. Don't change the dataDir field during init, and write to
the default location.
Clean up all references to Meta.dataDir, and only use the getter method
in case we chose to dynamically override this at some point.
Now when -upgrade is provided to "terraform init" (and plugin installation
isn't disabled) it will:
- ignore the contents of the auto-install plugin directory when deciding
what is "available", thus causing anything there to be reinstalled,
possibly at a newer version.
- if installation completes successfully, purge from the auto-install
plugin directory any plugin-looking files that aren't in the set of
chosen plugins.
As before, plugins outside of the auto-install directory are able to
take precedence over the auto-install ones, and these will never be
upgraded nor purged.
The thinking here is that the auto-install directory is an implementation
detail directly managed by Terraform, and so it's Terraform's
responsibility to automatically keep it clean as plugins are upgraded.
We don't yet have the -plugin-dir option implemented, but once it is it
should circumvent all of this behavior and just expect providers to be
already available in the given directory, meaning that nothing will be
auto-installed, -upgraded or -purged.
Previously we had a "getProvider" function type used to implement plugin
fetching. Here we replace that with an interface type, initially with
just a "Get" function.
For now this just simplifies the interface by allowing the target
directory and protocol version to be members of the struct rather than
passed as arguments.
A later change will extend this interface to also include a method to
purge unused plugins, so that upgrading frequently doesn't leave behind
a trail of unused executable files.
As of this commit this just upgrades modules, but this option will also
later upgrade plugins and indeed anything else that's being downloaded and
installed as part of the init.
Since there is little left that isn't core, remove the distinction for
now to reduce confusion, since a "core" binary will mostly work except
for provisioners.
