These three types represent the three different address representations we
need to represent different stages of analysis for "moved" blocks in the
configuration.
The goal here is to encapsulate all of the static address wrangling inside
these types so that users of these types elsewhere would have to work
pretty hard to use them incorrectly.
In particular, the MovableEndpoint type intentionally fully encapsulates
the weird relative addresses we use in configuration so that code
elsewhere in Terraform can never end up holding an address of a type that
suggests absolute when it's actually relative. That situation only occurs
in the internals of MoveableEndpoint where we use not-really-absolute
AbsMoveable address types to represent the not-yet-resolved relative
addresses.
This only takes care of the static address wrangling. There's lots of
other rules for what makes a "moved" block valid which will need to be
checked elsewhere because they require more context than just the content
of the address itself.
Our documentation for ModuleCall originally asserted that we didn't need
AbsModuleCall because ModuleInstance captured the same information, but
when we added count and for_each for modules we introduced
ModuleCallInstance to represent a reference to an instance of a local
module call, and now _that_ is the type whose absolute equivalent is
ModuleInstance.
We previously had no absolute representation of the call itself, without
any particular instance. That's what AbsModuleCall now represents,
allowing us to be explicit about when we're talking about the module block
vs. instances it declares, which is the same distinction represented by
AbsResource vs. AbsResourceInstance.
Just like with AbsResource and AbsResourceInstance though, there is
syntactic ambiguity between a no-key call instance and a whole module call,
and so some codepaths might accept both to start and then use other
context to dynamically choose a particular interpretation, in which case
this distinction becomes meaningful in representing the result of that
decision.
The previous name didn't fit with the naming scheme for addrs types:
The "Abs" prefix typically means that it's an addrs.ModuleInstance
combined with whatever type name appears after "Abs", but this is instead
a ModuleCallOutput combined with an InstanceKey, albeit structured the
other way around for convenience, and so the expected name for this would
be the suffix "Instance".
We don't have an "Abs" type corresponding with this one because it would
represent no additional information than AbsOutputValue.
This PR adds decoding for the upcoming "moved" blocks in configuration. This code is gated behind an experiment called EverythingIsAPlan, but the experiment is not registered as an active experiment, so it will never run (there is a test in place which will fail if the experiment is ever registered).
This also adds a new function to the Targetable interface, AddrType, to simplifying comparing two addrs.Targetable.
There is some validation missing still: this does not (yet) descend into resources to see if the actual resource types are the same (I've put this off in part because we will eventually need the provider schema to verify aliased resources, so I suspect this validation will have to happen later on).
Previously we had a separation between ModuleSourceRemote and
ModulePackage as a way to represent within the type system that there's an
important difference between a module source address and a package address,
because module packages often contain multiple modules and so a
ModuleSourceRemote combines a ModulePackage with a subdirectory to
represent one specific module.
This commit applies that same strategy to ModuleSourceRegistry, creating
a new type ModuleRegistryPackage to represent the different sort of
package that we use for registry modules. Again, the main goal here is
to try to reflect the conceptual modelling more directly in the type
system so that we can more easily verify that uses of these different
address types are correct.
To make use of that, I've also lightly reworked initwd's module installer
to use addrs.ModuleRegistryPackage directly, instead of a string
representation thereof. This was in response to some earlier commits where
I found myself accidentally mixing up package addresses and source
addresses in the installRegistryModule method; with this new organization
those bugs would've been caught at compile time, rather than only at
unit and integration testing time.
While in the area anyway, I also took this opportunity to fix some
historical confusing names of fields in initwd.ModuleInstaller, to be
clearer that they are only for registry packages and not for all module
source address types.
It's been a long while since we gave close attention to the codepaths for
module source address parsing and external module package installation.
Due to their age, these codepaths often diverged from our modern practices
such as representing address types in the addrs package, and encapsulating
package installation details only in a particular location.
In particular, this refactor makes source address parsing a separate step
from module installation, which therefore makes the result of that parsing
available to other Terraform subsystems which work with the configuration
representation objects.
This also presented the opportunity to better encapsulate our use of
go-getter into a new package "getmodules" (echoing "getproviders"), which
is intended to be the only part of Terraform that directly interacts with
go-getter.
This is largely just a refactor of the existing functionality into a new
code organization, but there is one notable change in behavior here: the
source address parsing now happens during configuration loading rather
than module installation, which may cause errors about invalid addresses
to be returned in different situations than before. That counts as
backward compatible because we only promise to remain compatible with
configurations that are _valid_, which means that they can be initialized,
planned, and applied without any errors. This doesn't introduce any new
error cases, and instead just makes a pre-existing error case be detected
earlier.
Our module registry client is still using its own special module address
type from registry/regsrc for now, with a small shim from the new
addrs.ModuleSourceRegistry type. Hopefully in a later commit we'll also
rework the registry client to work with the new address type, but this
commit is already big enough as it is.
We've previously had the syntax and representation of module source
addresses pretty sprawled around the codebase and intermingled with other
systems such as the module installer.
I've created a factored-out implementation here with the intention of
enabling some later refactoring to centralize the address parsing as part
of configuration decoding, and thus in turn allow the parsing result to
be seen by other parts of Terraform that interact with configuration
objects, so that they can more robustly handle differences between local
and remote modules, and can present module addresses consistently in the
UI.
As the comment notes, this hostname is the default for provide source
addresses. We'll shortly be adding some address types to represent module
source addresses too, and so we'll also have DefaultModuleRegistryHost
for that situation.
(They'll actually both contain the the same hostname, but that's a
coincidence rather than a requirement.)
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
