When using a `state` command, if the `-state` flag is provided we do not
want to modify the Backend state. In this case we should always create a
local state instance.
The backup flag was also being ignored, and some tests were relying on
that, which have been fixed.
Previously we did plugin discovery in the main package, but as we move
towards versioned plugins we need more information available in order to
resolve plugins, so we move this responsibility into the command package
itself.
For the moment this is just preserving the existing behavior as long as
there are only internal and unversioned plugins present. This is the
final state for provisioners in 0.10, since we don't want to support
versioned provisioners yet. For providers this is just a checkpoint along
the way, since further work is required to apply version constraints from
configuration and support additional plugin search directories.
The automatic plugin discovery behavior is not desirable for tests because
we want to mock the plugins there, so we add a new backdoor for the tests
to use to skip the plugin discovery and just provide their own mock
implementations. Most of this diff is thus noisy rework of the tests to
use this new mechanism.
Fixes#12154
The "-backup" flag before for "state *" CLI had some REALLY bizarre behavior:
it would change the _destination_ state and actually not create any
additional backup at all (the original state was unchanged and the
normal timestamped backup still are written). Really weird.
This PR makes the -backup flag work as you'd expect with one caveat:
we'll _still_ create the timestamped backup file. The timestamped backup
file helps make sure that you always get a backup history when using
these commands. We don't want to make it easy for you to overwrite a
state with the `-backup` flag.
This commit adds the `state rm` command for removing an address from
state. It is the result of a rebase from pull-request #5953 which was
lost at some point during the Terraform 0.7 feature branch merges.
