Prior to Terraform 0.12 these two functions were the only way to construct
literal lists and maps (respectively) in HIL expressions. Terraform 0.12,
by switching to HCL 2, introduced first-class syntax for constructing
tuple and object values, which can then be converted into list and map
values using the tolist and tomap type conversion functions.
We marked both of these functions as deprecated in the Terraform v0.12
release and have since then mentioned in the docs that they will be
removed in a future Terraform version. The "terraform 0.12upgrade" tool
from Terraform v0.12 also included a rule to automatically rewrite uses
of these functions into equivalent new syntax.
The main motivation for removing these now is just to get this change made
prior to Terraform 1.0. as we'll be doing with various other deprecations.
However, a specific reason for these two functions in particular is that
their existence is what caused us to invent the idea of a "type expression"
as a distinct kind of expression in Terraform v0.12, and so removing them
now would allow potentially unifying type expressions with value
expressions in a future release.
We do not have any current specific plans to make that change, but one
potential motivation for doing so would be to take another attempt at a
generalized "convert" function which takes a type as one of its arguments.
Our previous attempt to implement such a function was foiled by the fact
that Terraform's expression validator doesn't have any way to know to
treat one argument of a particular function as special, and so it was
generating incorrect error messages. We won't necessarily do that, but
having these "list" and "map" functions out of the way leaves the option
open.
This is an analog to the "alltrue" function, using OR as the reduce
operator rather than AND.
This also includes some simplification of the "alltrue" implementation
to implement it similarly as a sort of reduce operation with AND
as the reduce operator, but with the same effective behavior.
These were initially introduced as functions with "encode" and "decode"
prefixes, but that doesn't match with our existing convention of putting
the encoding format first so that the encode and decode functions will
group together in a alphabetically-ordered function list.
"text" is not really a defined serialization format, but it's a short word
that hopefully represents well enough what these functions are aiming to
encode and decode, while being consistent with existing functions like
jsonencode/jsondecode, yamlencode/yamldecode, etc.
The "base64" at the end here is less convincing because there is precedent
for that modifier to appear both at the beginning and the end in our
existing function names. I chose to put it at the end here because that
seems to be our emergent convention for situations where the base64
encoding is a sort of secondary modifier alongside the primary purpose
of the function, as we see with "filebase64". (base64gzip is an exception
here, but it seems outvoted by the others.)
Fix for issue #26320 - this allows us to derive known values from
partially known maps where we can, and may prevent unnecessary
destroy/rebuild cycles during apply in some cases.
This commit adds an `alltrue` function to Terraform configuration. A
reason we might want this function is because it will enable more
powerful custom variable validations. For example:
```hcl
variable "amis" {
type = list(object({
id = string
}))
validation {
condition = (alltrue([
for a in var.amis : length(a.id) > 4 && substr(a.id, 0, 4) == "ami-"
]))
error_message = "The ID of at least one AMI was invalid."
}
}
```
The functions that interact with the filesystem are, by design, restricted
to reading files that are distributed as a static part of the
configuration, and cannot be used to interact with files that are
generated dynamically by resources in the configuration.
However, new users have often yet developed a correct mental model of how
Terraform execution works and are confused by the terse error messages
these functions return. As an interim step to help some of those users,
this just adds some more commentary to the error message which gives a
vague, generic directive to look to attributes of the resource that is
generating the file, which should (if it's designed well) export
attributes that allow the resulting file to be used effectively with
common patterns, such as checksums of the content of the generated file.
The error message here is not particularly attractive due to the
limitations of the context where it's being returned from, but I'm
accepting that here in the interest of keeping this change simple, so we
can give a hint about a case that seems to frequently generate new-user
questions. We may iterate further on the presentation of this message
later.
Previously this function only supported the x509 RSA private key format.
More recent versions of OpenSSH default to generating a new PEM key
format, which this commit now supports using the x/crypto/ssh package.
Also improve the returned error messages for various invalid ciphertext
or invalid private key errors.
The map function assumed that the key arguments were strings, and would
panic if they were not.
After this commit, calling `map(1, 2)` will result in a map `{"1" = 1}`,
and calling `map(null, 1)` will result in a syntax error.
Fixes#23346, fixes#23043
Previously the templatefile function would permit any arbitrary string as
a variable name, but due to the HCL template syntax it would be impossible
to refer to one that isn't a valid HCL identifier without causing an
HCL syntax error.
The HCL syntax errors are correct, but don't really point to the root
cause of the problem. Instead, we'll pre-verify that the variable names
are valid before we even try to render the template, and given a
specialized error message that refers to the vars argument expression as
the problematic part, which will hopefully make the resolution path
clearer for a user encountering this situation.
The syntax error still remains for situations where all of the variable
names are correct but e.g. the user made a typo referring to one, which
makes sense because in that case the problem _is_ inside the template.
This function has a number of different error cases with hopefully-helpful
error messages for each, so it's good to test we're getting the error
message we were actually expecting in each case.
This PR implements 2 changes to the merge function.
- Rather than always defining the merge return type as dynamic, return
a precise type when all argument types match, or all possible object
attributes are known.
- Always return a value containing all keys when the keys are known.
This allows the use of merge output in for_each, even when keys are yet
to be determined.
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.
This is a companion to cidrsubnet that allows bulk-allocation of multiple
subnet addresses at once, with automatic numbering.
Unlike cidrsubnet, cidrsubnets allows each of the allocations to have a
different prefix length, and will pack the networks consecutively into the
given address space. cidrsubnets can potentially create more complicated
addressing schemes than cidrsubnet alone can, because it's able to take
into account the full set of requested prefix lengths rather than just
one at a time.

Enumerates a set of regular file names from a given glob pattern. Implemented via the Go stdlib `path/filepath.Glob()` functionality. Notably, stdlib does not support `**` or `{}` extended patterns. See also: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11862
To support the extended glob patterns, it will require adding a dependency on a third party library or adding our own matching code.
* lang/funcs: lookup() can work with maps of lists, maps and objects
lookup() can already handle aribtrary objects of (whatever) and should
handle maps of (whatever) similarly.
The function would previously panic when one or more null values were among the arguments.
The new behavior treats nulls as empty strings, therefore, it removes them.
Added higher-level test for matchkeys to exercise mixing
types in searchset. This had to be in the functions tests so the HCL
auto conversion from tuple to list would occur.
`matchkeys` was returning a (false) error if the searchset was a
variable, since then the type of the keylist and searchset parameters
would not match.
This does slightly change the behavior: previously matchkeys would
produce an error if the parameters were not of the same type, for e.g.
if searchset was a list of strings and keylist was a list of integers.
This no longer produces an error.
Previously the type-selection codepath for an input tuple referred
unconditionally to the start and end index values. In the Type callback,
only the types of the arguments are guaranteed to be known, so any access
to the values must be guarded with an .IsKnown check, or else the function
will not short-circuit properly when an unknown value is passed.
Now we will check the start and end indices are in range when we have
enough information to do so, but we'll return an approximate result if
either is unknown.
