This changes the type of values in Meta for InstanceState to
`interface{}`. They were `string` before.
This will allow richer structures to be persisted to this without
flatmapping them (down with flatmap!). The documentation clearly states
that only primitives/collections are allowed here.
The only thing using this was helper/schema for schema versioning.
Appropriate type checking was added to make this change safe.
The timeout work @catsby is doing will use this for a richer structure.
Fix checksum issue with remote state
If we read a state file with "null" objects in a module and they become
initialized to an empty map the state file may be written out with empty
objects rather than "null", changing the checksum. If we can detect
this, increment the serial number to prevent a conflict in atlas.
Our fakeAtlas test server now needs to decode the state directly rather
than using the ReadState function, so as to be able to read the state
unaltered.
The terraform.State data structures have initialization spread out
throughout the package. More thoroughly initialize State during
ReadState, and add a call to init() during WriteState as another
normalization safeguard.
Expose State.init through an exported Init() method, so that a new State
can be completely realized outside of the terraform package.
Additionally, the internal init now completely walks all internal state
structures ensuring that all maps and slices are initialized. While it
was mentioned before that the `init()` methods are problematic with too
many call sites, expanding this out better exposes the entry points that
will need to be refactored later for improved concurrency handling.
The State structures had a mix of `omitempty` fields. Remove omitempty
for all maps and slices as part of this normalization process. Make
Lineage mandatory, which is now explicitly set in some tests.
The Outputs and Resources maps in the state modules are expected to be
non-nil, and initialized that way when a new module is added to the
state. The V1->V2 upgrade was setting the maps to nil if the len == 0.
This commit makes the current Terraform state version 3 (previously 2),
and a migration process as part of reading v2 state. For the most part
this is unnecessary: helper/schema will deal with upgrading state for
providers written with that framework. However, for providers which
implemented the resource model directly, this gives a best-efforts
attempt at lossless upgrade.
The heuristics used to change the count of a map from the .# key to the
.% key are as follows:
- if the flat map contains any non-numeric keys, we treat it as a
map
- if the map is empty it must be computed or optional, so we remove
it from state
There is a known edge condition: maps with all-numeric keys are
indistinguishable from sets without access to the schema. They will need
manual conversion or may result in spurious diffs.
