The workspace name can be overridden by setting a TF_WORKSPACE
environment variable. If this is done, we should still validate the
resulting workspace name; otherwise, we could end up with an invalid and
unselectable workspace.
This change updates the Meta.Workspace function to return an error, and
handles that error wherever necessary.
Most of the state package has been deprecated by the states package.
This PR replaces all the references to the old state package that
can be done simply - the low-hanging fruit.
* states: move state.Locker to statemgr
The state.Locker interface was a wrapper around a statemgr.Full, so
moving this was relatively straightforward.
* command: remove unnecessary use of state package for writing local terraform state files
* move state.LocalState into terraform package
state.LocalState is responsible for managing terraform.States, so it
made sense (to me) to move it into the terraform package.
* slight change of heart: move state.LocalState into clistate instead of
terraform
* command: use backend config from state when backend=false is used.
When a user runs `terraform init --backend=false`, terraform should
inspect the state for a previously-configured backend, and use that
backend, ignoring any backend config in the current configuration. If no
backend is configured or there is no state, return a local backend.
Fixes#16593
Meta.backendConfig was incorrectly treating the second return value from
loadBackendConfig as if it were go "error" rather than
tfdiags.Diagnostics, which in turn meant that it would treat warnings like
errors.
This had confusing results because it still returned that
tfdiags.Diagnostics value in its own diagnostics return value, causing the
caller to see warnings even though the backendConfig function had taken
the error codepath.
Previously we were using the experimental HCL 2 repository, but now we'll
shift over to the v2 import path within the main HCL repository as part of
actually releasing HCL 2.0 as stable.
This is a mechanical search/replace to the new import paths. It also
switches to the v2.0.0 release of HCL, which includes some new code that
Terraform didn't previously have but should not change any behavior that
matters for Terraform's purposes.
For the moment the experimental HCL2 repository is still an indirect
dependency via terraform-config-inspect, so it remains in our go.sum and
vendor directories for the moment. Because terraform-config-inspect uses
a much smaller subset of the HCL2 functionality, this does still manage
to prune the vendor directory a little. A subsequent release of
terraform-config-inspect should allow us to completely remove that old
repository in a future commit.
The backend gets to "prepare" the configuration before Configure is
called, in order to validate the values and insert defaults. We don't
want to store this value in the "config state", because it will often
not match the raw config after it is prepared, forcing unecessary
backend migrations during init.
Since PrepareConfig is always called before Configure, we can store the
config value directly, and assume that it will be prepared in the same
manner each time.
If the backend config hashes match during init, and there are no new
backend override options, then we assume the existing config is OK.
Since init should be idempotent, we should be able to run init with no
options or config changes, and not effect the backends at all.
There are a number of use cases that can require a user to select a workspace after initializing Terraform.
To make sure we cover all these use cases, we will always call the selectWorkspace method to verify a valid workspace is already selected or (if needed) offer to select one before moving on.
When the user aborts input, it may end up as an unknown value, which
needs to be converted to null for PrepareConfig.
Allow PrepareConfig to accept null config values in order to fill in
missing defaults.
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
Older versions of terraform could save the backend hash number in a
value larger than an int.
While we could conditionally decode the state into an intermediary data
structure for upgrade, or detect the specific decode error and modify
the json, it seems simpler to just decode into the most flexible value
for now, which is a uint64.
The changes to how we handle setting the state path on the local backend
broke the heuristic we were using here for detecting migration from one
local backend to another with the same state path, which would by default
end up deleting the state altogether after migration.
We now use the StatePaths method to do this, which takes into account
both the default values and any settings that have been set.
Additionally this addresses a flaw in the old method which could
potentially have deleted all non-default workspace state files if the
"path" setting were changed without also changing the "workspace_dir"
setting. This new approach is conservative because it will preserve all
of the files if any one overlaps.
In an earlier change we fixed the "backendFromConfig" codepath to be
able to properly detect changes to the -backend-config arguments during
"terraform init", but this detection is too strict for the normal case
of running an operation in a previously-initialized directory.
Before any of the recent changes, the logic here was to selectively update
the hash to include -backend-config settings in the init case. Since
that late hash recalculation was confusing, here we take the alternative
path of using the hash only in the normal case and full value comparison
in the init case. Treating both of these cases separately makes things
marginally easier to follow here.
This test is testing some strange implementation details of the old
local backend which do not hold with the new filesystem state manager.
Specifically, it was expecting state to be read from the stateOutPath
rather than the statePath, which makes no sense here because the backend
is configured to read from the default terraform.tfstate file (which does
not exist.)
There is another problem with this test which will be addressed in a
subsequent commit.
In the refactoring for new HCL this codepath stopped taking into account
changes to the CLI -backend-config options when deciding if a backend
migration is required.
This restores that behavior in a different way than it used to be: rather
than re-hashing the merged config and comparing the hashes, we instead
just compare directly the configuration values, which must be exactly
equal in order to skip migration.
This change is covered by the test TestInit_inputFalse, although as of
this commit it is still not passing due a downstream problem within the
migration code itself.
Here we were going to the trouble of copying the body so we could mutate
it, but then ended up mutating the original anyway and then returning the
unmodified copy. Whoops!
This fix is verified by a number of "init" command tests that exercise the
-backend-config option, including TestInit_backendConfigFile and several
others whose names have the prefix TestInit_backendConfig .
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.
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.
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.
This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.
A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.
The new config loader requires some steps to happen in a different
order, particularly in regard to knowing the schema in order to
decode the configuration.
Here we lean directly on the configschema package, rather than
on helper/schema.Backend as before, because it's generally
sufficient for our needs here and this prepares us for the
helper/schema package later moving out into its own repository
to seed a "plugin SDK".
This commit fixes a bug that (in the case of the `local` backend) would only check if the selected workspace had a state when deciding to preform a migration.
When the selected workspace didn’t have a state (but other existing workspace(s) did), the migration would not be preformed and the other workspaces would be ignored.
Use the new StateLocker field to provide a wrapper for locking the state
during terraform.Context creation in the commands that directly
manipulate the state.
Simplify the use of clistate.Lock by creating a clistate.Locker
instance, which stores the context of locking a state, to allow unlock
to be called without knowledge of how the state was locked.
This alows the backend code to bring the needed UI methods to the point
where the state is locked, and still unlock the state from an outer
scope.
Provide a NoopLocker as well, so that callers can always call Unlock
without verifying the status of the lock.
Add the StateLocker field to the backend.Operation, so that the state
lock can be carried between the different function scopes of the backend
code. This will allow the backend context to lock the state before it's
read, while allowing the different operations to unlock the state when
they complete.
The existing prompts were worded as if backend configurations were
named, but they can only really be referenced by their type. Change the
wording to reference them as type "X backend". When migrating state,
refer to the backends as the "previously configured" and "newly
configured", since they will often have the same type.
The duplicate prompts can be confusing when the user confirms that a
migration should happen and we immediately prompt a second time for the
same thing with slightly different wording. The extra hand-holding that
this provides for legacy remote states is less critical now, since it's
been 2 major release cycles since those were removed.
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.
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.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Previously we just silently ignored warnings from validating the backend
config, but now that we have a deprecated argument it's important to print
these out so users can respond to the deprecation warning.
Instead of providing the a path in BackendOpts, provide a loaded
*config.Config instead. This reduces the number of places where
configuration is loaded.
Before this, invoking this codepath would print
Terraform has successfully migrated from legacy remote state to your
configured remote state.%!(EXTRA string=s3)
The reconfigure flag will force init to ignore any saved backend state.
This is useful when a user does not want any backend migration to
happen, or if the saved configuration can't be loaded at all for some
reason.
