Without using absolute paths any module info is lost in the output. And the attributes were randomly ordered and so changed between different executions of the command.
When HCL encounters an error during expression evaluation, it annotates
its diagnostics with information about the expression that was being
evaluated and the EvalContext it was evaluated in.
This gives us enough information to show helpful hints to the user about
the final values of any reference expressions that are present in the
expression, which is very useful extra context for expressions that get
evaluated multiple times, such as:
- Any expression in a block with "count" or "for_each" set
- The sub-expressions within a "for" expression
This work was done against APIs that were already changed in the branch
before work began, and so it doesn't apply to the v0.12 development work.
To allow v0.12 to merge down to master, we'll revert this work out for now
and then re-introduce equivalent functionality in later commits that works
against the new APIs.
This reinstates an old behavior that was lost in the reorganization of how
we deal with the -var and -var-file options.
This fix is verified by TestApply_planVars now passing.
In the new implementation of collecting variables I initially forgot the
JSON variant of terraform.tfvars.
This fix is verified by TestApply_varFileDefaultJSON now passing.
This was previously targeting the old state manager and state types, so it
needed some considerable rework to get it working again with the new state
types.
Since our new resource address syntax lacks the weird extra .deposed
special case we had before, we instead interpret addresses as
whole-instance addresses here and remove the deposed objects along with
the current one (if present), since this is more likely to match with
user expectations because we don't consider deposed objects to be
independently addressable in any other situation.
With that said, to be more explicit about what is going on we do now have
a -dry-run mode and maintain separate counts of current and deposed
instances so that we can expose that in the UI where relevant.
We temporarily disabled this because it needed some further work to update
it for the new state models, which has now been done.
We no longer need the configuration objects for the outputs because the
state itself contains all of the information needed for displaying these.
We used to treat the "id" attribute of a resource as special and elevate
it into its own struct field "ID" in the state, but the new state format
and provider protocol treats it just as any other attribute.
However, it's still useful to show the value of a single identifying
attribute when there isn't room in the UI for showing all of the
attributes, and so here we take a new strategy of considering "id" along
with some other conventional names as special only in the UI layer.
This new heuristic approach can be adjusted over time as new provider
patterns emerge, but for now it covers some common conventions we've seen
in real providers.
With that said, since all existing providers made for Terraform versions
prior to v0.12 were forced to set "id", we won't see any use of other
attributes here until providers are updated to remove the placeholder
ids they were generating in cases where an id was not actually relevant
but was forced by the old protocol. At that point the UX should be
improved by showing a more relevant attribute instead.
We now also allow for the possibility of no id at all, since that is valid
for resources that exist only within the Terraform state, like the ones
from the "random" and "tls" providers.
This command isn't yet updated for the new state types, but since we were
not returning a non-successful error status here the tests were just
failing in a weird way instead. Now we'll fail with a message that makes
it clear there is still work to do in the real implementation here.
We previously stubbed most of this out because it hadn't yet been updated
to support the new state types, etc.
This restores all of the previous behavior as covered by the tests.
We intentionally remove one behavior that was not covered by the tests:
we used to allow retrieval of outputs from non-root modules using the
-module option, but since we no longer persist non-root outputs in the
state we can no longer support this without a full expression evaluation
walk, and that'd be overkill for this otherwise-simple command. Descendant
module outputs are not part of the public interface of a configuration
anyway, so accessing them from outside in this way is an anti-pattern.
(For debugging scenarios it is still possible to access these from
"terraform console", which _does_ do a full evaluation graph walk to
prepare its evaluation scope.)
The plan file writer requires a backend config to be present, but we don't
really need one for the sake of _this_ test, since we don't activate the
backend to render a plan graph, and so we just write in a placeholder.
This connects a missing link left by earlier refactoring: the command
package is responsible for gathering up variable values provided by the
user and passing them through to the backend to use in operations.
Our serialization of the backend configuration has changed slightly for
Terraform 0.12 due to reimplementing it in terms of the HCL2 types, so
the base case that should be unchanged during the test needs to be
changed.
In all real cases the schemas should be populated here, but we don't want
to panic in UI rendering code if there's a bug here.
This can also be tripped up by tests with incomplete mocks. It's
unfortunate that this can therefore mask some problems in tests, but tests
can protect against it by asserting on specific output text rather than
just assuming that a zero exit status is a pass.
If we fail to parse the resource address given to "terraform import" then
it's helpful to produce a "source code" snippet of what the user provided
so they might see more precisely which part of the address was invalid.
Most of this is just updates to allow for the fact that we now always save
the provider address as part of resource state, whereas before it was only
saved conditionally.
This also updates TestTaint_module for the intentional change that it now
expects a child module to be specified using normal resource address
syntax, rather than as a separate -module option.
Added a very simple test with state and schema.
TODO: if tests are added we should test using golden files (and example
state files, instead of strings). This seemed unnecessary with the
simple test cases.
In previous work we didn't quite connect these dots. The connection here
is sub-awesome since the existing interfaces here had some unfortunate
assumptions that we'd like to move away from (like the idea of a "nil
backend" implying the local backend) but we're accepting this for now to
avoid another big round of refactoring.
The main implication of this is that we will now always include a backend
configuration in the plan, though it might just be a placeholder config
for the local backend in the remaining cases where that's still implicitly
set. Later we will change this so that there is no implicit local backend
at all (terraform init is always required, _it_ will deal with setting
implicitly setting the local backend when appropriate), which will allow
us to rework this to be more straightforward and less "spooky".
If we don't do this, we can't produce any output when applying a saved
plan file.
Here we also introduce a check to the local backend's ReportResult
function so that it won't panic if CLI init is skipped, although that
will no longer happen in the apply-from-file case due to the change
described in the previous paragraph.
It must now provide a basic implementation of plan and apply for its
mock provider, which in this case can just pass through the proposed value
generated by core because there are no computed attributes in this schema.
Previously we used a single plan action "Replace" to represent both the
destroy-before-create and the create-before-destroy variants of replacing.
However, this forces the apply graph builder to jump through a lot of
hoops to figure out which nodes need it forced on and rebuild parts of
the graph to represent that.
If we instead decide between these two cases at plan time, the actual
determination of it is more straightforward because each resource is
represented by only one node in the plan graph, and then we can ensure
we put the right nodes in the graph during DiffTransformer and thus avoid
the logic for dealing with deposed instances being spread across various
different transformers and node types.
As a nice side-effect, this also allows us to show the difference between
destroy-then-create and create-then-destroy in the rendered diff in the
CLI, although this change doesn't fully implement that yet.
For PreApply hook purposes we only actually use the Delete, Create, and
Update actions, because other actions are handled in different ways than
a direct call to ApplyResourceChange.
However, if there's a bug in core that causes it to pass a different
action, it's better for us to mark it as being explicitly unknown in the
UI rather than simply defaulting to "Modifying...", which can thus obscure
the problem and make for a confusing result.
We'll now show an "update" symbol prior to the argument to this synthetic
jsonencode(...) call, for consistency with how we show nested values in
other cases and to attach a verb to any "# forces replacement".
We'll also show a special form in the case where the value seems to differ
only in whitespace, so users can understand what's going on in that
hopefully-rare situation, particularly if those whitespace-only changes
end up forcing us to replace a remote object.
Since our own syntax for primitive values is similar to that of JSON, and
since we permit automatic conversions from number and bool to string, we
must do this special JSON value diff formatting only if the value is a
JSON array or object to avoid confusing results.
Because so far we've not supported dynamically-typed complex data
structures, several providers have used strings containing JSON to stand
in for these.
In order to get a readable diff in those cases, we'll recognize situations
where old and new are both JSON and present a diff of the effective value
of the JSON, using a faux call to the jsonencode(...) function to indicate
when we've done so.
This is a bit of a "cute" heuristic, but is important at least for now
until we can migrate away from that practice of passing large JSON strings
to providers and use dynamically-typed attributes instead.
This extra comment line gives us a place to show the full resource address
(since the block header line only includes type and name) and also allows
us to explain in long form the meaning of the change icon on the following
line.
This is a light adaptation of our earlier prototype of structural diff
rendering, as a starting point for what we'll actually ship. This is not
consistent with the latest mocks, so will need some additional work before
it is ready, but integrating this allows us to at least see the plan
contents while fixing up remaining issues elsewhere.
Previously we just left these out of the plan altogether, but in the new
plan types we intentionally include change information for every resource
instance, even if no changes are actually planned, to allow alternative
plan file viewers to show what isn't changing as well as what is.
This codepath is going to be significantly changed before release to make
it support structural diff of the new data types, but this lets us lean on
the old renderer to produce partial output in the mean time while we
continue to work on getting things working end-to-end after the
considerable refactoring that's been going on.
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
The "config" package is no longer used and will be removed as part
of the 0.12 release cleanup. Since configschema is part of the
"new world" of configuration modelling, it makes more sense for
it to live as a subdirectory of the newer "configs" package.
In order to properly migrate the contents of resource, data, provider and
provisioner blocks we will need the provider's schema in order to
understand what is expected, so we can resolve some ambiguities inherent
in the legacy HCL AST.
This includes an initial prototype of migrating the content of resource
blocks just to verify that the information is being gathered correctly.
As with the rest of the upgrade_native.go file, this will be reorganized
significantly once the basic end-to-end flow is established and we can
see how to organize this code better.
Since the intent of the validate command is to check config validity
regardless of context (input variables, state, etc), we use unknown values
of the requested type here, which will then allow us to complete type
checking against the specified types of the variables without assuming
any particular values.
This is the frontend to the work-in-progress codepath for upgrading the
source code for a module written for Terraform v0.11 or earlier to use
the new syntax and idiom of v0.12.
The underlying upgrade code is not yet complete as of this commit, and
so the command is not yet very useful. We will continue to iterate on
the upgrade code in subsequent commits.
Because we gather together diagnostics from many different parts of the
codebase, the list often ends up being in a non-ideal order. Here we
define a partial ordering for diagnostics that should hopefully make them
easier to scan when many are present, by grouping together diagnostics
that are of the same severity and belong to the same file.
We use sort.Stable here because we have a partial order and so we need
to make sure that diagnostics that do not have a relative ordering will
remain in their original order.
This sorting is applied just in time before rendering the diagnostics
in command.Meta.showDiagnostics.
This doesn't yet include test updates, since there are problems in core
currently blocking these tests from running. The tests will therefore be
updated in a subsequent commit.
Previously we were defaulting the provider configuration selection to a
provider in the root module inferred from the resource type name.
This is close, but not quite right: we need to _start_ with a provider
configuration in the same module as we're importing into, and then our
provider resolution steps during import graph construction will use that
as a starting point for a walk up the tree to find the nearest matching
configuration (which might eventually still be in the root, but not
necessarily).
This now uses the HCL2 parser and evaluator APIs and evaluates in terms
of a new-style *lang.Scope, rather than the old terraform.Interpolator
type that is no longer functional.
The Context.Eval method used here behaves differently than the
Context.Interpolater method used previously: it performs a graph walk
to populate transient values such as input variables, local values, and
output values, and produces its scope in terms of the result of that
graph walk. Because of this, it is a lot more robust than the prior method
when asked to resolve references other than those that are persisted
in the state.
Previously an empty diagnostics would appear as "null" in the JSON output,
since that is how encoding/json serializes a nil slice. It's more
convenient for users of dynamic languages to keep the type consistent
in all cases, since they can then just iterate the list without needing a
special case for when it is null.
