When performing state migration to a remote backend target, Terraform
may fail due to mismatched remote and local Terraform versions. Here we
add the `-ignore-remote-version` flag to allow users to ignore this
version check when necessary.
When migrating multiple local workspaces to a remote backend target
using the `prefix` argument, we need to perform the version check
against all existing workspaces returned by the `Workspaces` method.
Failing to do so will result in a version check error.
Our module installer has a somewhat-informal idea of a "module package",
which is some external thing we can go fetch in order to add one or more
modules to the current configuration. Our documentation doesn't talk much
about it because most users seem to have found the distinction between
external and local modules pretty intuitive without us throwing a lot of
funny terminology at them, but there are some situations where the
distinction between a module and a module package are material to the
end-user.
One such situation is when using an absolute rather than relative
filesystem path: we treat that as an external package in order to make the
resulting working directory theoretically "portable" (although users can
do various other things to defeat that), and so Terraform will copy the
directory into .terraform/modules in the same way as it would download and
extract a remote archive package or clone a git repository.
A consequence of this, though, is that any relative paths called from
inside a module loaded from an absolute path will fail if they try to
traverse upward into the parent directory, because at runtime we're
actually running from a copy of the directory that's been taking out of
its original context.
A similar sort of situation can occur in a truly remote module package if
the author accidentally writes a "../" source path that traverses up out
of the package root, and so this commit introduces a special error message
for both situations that tries to be a bit clearer about there being a
package boundary and use that to explain why installation failed.
We would ideally have made escaping local references like that illegal in
the first place, but sadly we did not and so when we rebuilt the module
installer for Terraform v0.12 we ended up keeping the previous behavior of
just trying it and letting it succeed if there happened to somehow be a
matching directory at the given path, in order to remain compatible with
situations that had worked by coincidence rather than intention. For that
same reason, I've implemented this as a replacement error message we will
return only if local module installation was going to fail anyway, and
thus it only modifies the error message for some existing error situations
rather than introducing new error situations.
This also includes some light updates to the documentation to say a little
more about how Terraform treats absolute paths, though aiming not to get
too much into the weeds about module packages since it's something that
most users can get away with never knowing.
When returning from the context method, a deferred function call checked
for error diagnostics in the `diags` variable, and unlocked the state if
any exist. This means that we need to be extra careful to mutate that
variable when returning errors, rather than returning a different set of
diags in the same position.
Previously this would result in an invalid plan file causing a lock to
become stuck.
We got the replacement for this in earlier than anticipated, so these docs
were originally more pessimistic about when the alternative would be
available.
While we were working on and documenting these it wasn't clear exactly
what Terraform CLI version they would land in, and so we used
"Terraform v1.0" in the docs as a safe bound that was definitely going to
include all of them.
With everything now landed though, we can be more specific about which
v0.15.x minor release each of these appeared in.
Most legacy provider resources do not implement any import functionality
other than returning an empty object with the given ID, relying on core
to later read that resource and obtain the complete state. Because of
this, we need to check the response from ReadResource for a null value,
and use that as an indication the import id was invalid.
Terraform 0.15.3 added support for a `-json` flag to the plan, apply,
and refresh commands, which renders the Terraform UI output in a
structured machine readable format. This commit adds documentation for
this interface.
This was dead code, and there is no clear way to retrieve this
information, as we currently only derive the drift information as part
of the rendering process.
The current documention was unclear about the full path of local mirrors
when using the XDG Base Directory Specification.
Also removed the trailing slashes for the other paths in this section.
The schemas for provider and the resources didn't match, so the changes
were not going to be rendered at all.
Add a test which contains a deposed resource.
* getproviders ParsePlatform: add check for invalid platform strings with too many parts
The existing logic would not catch things like a platform string containing multiple underscores. I've added an explicit check for exactly 2 parts and some basic tests to prove it.
* command/providers-lock: add tests
This commit adds some simple tests for the providers lock command. While adding this test I noticed that there was a mis-copied error message, so I replaced that with a more specific message. I also added .terraform.lock.hcl to our gitignore for hopefully obvious reasons.
getproviders.ParsePlatform: use parts in place of slice range, since it's available
* command: Providers mirror tests
The providers mirror command is already well tested in e2e tests, so this includes only the most absolutely basic test case.
Do not convert provisioner diagnostics to errors so that users can get
context from provisioner failures.
Return diagnostics from the builtin provisioners that can be annotated
with configuration context and instance addresses.
