The -plugin-dir option lets the user specify custom search paths for
plugins. This overrides all other plugin search paths, and prevents the
auto-installation of plugins.
We also make sure that the availability of plugins is always checked
during init, even if -get-plugins=false or -plugin-dir is set.
Now that init can take a directory for configuration, the old behavior
of writing the .terraform data directory into the target path no longer
makes sense. Don't change the dataDir field during init, and write to
the default location.
Clean up all references to Meta.dataDir, and only use the getter method
in case we chose to dynamically override this at some point.
Now when -upgrade is provided to "terraform init" (and plugin installation
isn't disabled) it will:
- ignore the contents of the auto-install plugin directory when deciding
what is "available", thus causing anything there to be reinstalled,
possibly at a newer version.
- if installation completes successfully, purge from the auto-install
plugin directory any plugin-looking files that aren't in the set of
chosen plugins.
As before, plugins outside of the auto-install directory are able to
take precedence over the auto-install ones, and these will never be
upgraded nor purged.
The thinking here is that the auto-install directory is an implementation
detail directly managed by Terraform, and so it's Terraform's
responsibility to automatically keep it clean as plugins are upgraded.
We don't yet have the -plugin-dir option implemented, but once it is it
should circumvent all of this behavior and just expect providers to be
already available in the given directory, meaning that nothing will be
auto-installed, -upgraded or -purged.
Previously we had a "getProvider" function type used to implement plugin
fetching. Here we replace that with an interface type, initially with
just a "Get" function.
For now this just simplifies the interface by allowing the target
directory and protocol version to be members of the struct rather than
passed as arguments.
A later change will extend this interface to also include a method to
purge unused plugins, so that upgrading frequently doesn't leave behind
a trail of unused executable files.
As of this commit this just upgrades modules, but this option will also
later upgrade plugins and indeed anything else that's being downloaded and
installed as part of the init.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
When init was modified in 0.9 to initialize a terraform working
directory, the legacy behavior was kept to copy or fetch module sources.
This left the init command without the ability that the plan and apply
commands have to target a specific directory for the operation.
This commit removes the legacy behavior altogether, and allows init to
target a directory for initialization, bringing it into parity with plan
and apply. If one want to copy a module to the target or current
directory, that will have to be done manually before calling init. We
can later reintroduce fetching modules with init without breaking this
new behavior, by adding the source as an optional second argument.
The unit tests testing the copying of sources with init have been
removed, as well as some out of date (and commented out) init tests
regarding remote states.
"environment" is a very overloaded term, so here we prefer to use the
term "working directory" to talk about a local directory where operations
are executed on a given Terraform configuration.
Each provider plugin will take at least a few seconds to download, so
providing feedback about each one should make users feel less like
Terraform has hung.
Ideally we'd show ongoing progress during the download, but that's not
possible without re-working go-getter, so we'll accept this as an interim
solution for now.
When running "terraform init" with providers that are unconstrained, we
will now produce information to help the user update configuration to
constrain for the particular providers that were chosen, to prevent
inadvertently drifting onto a newer major release that might contain
breaking changes.
A ~> constraint is used here because pinning to a single specific version
is expected to create dependency hell when using child modules. By using
this constraint mode, which allows minor version upgrades, we avoid the
need for users to constantly adjust version constraints across many
modules, but make major version upgrades still be opt-in.
Any constraint at all in the configuration will prevent the display of
these suggestions, so users are free to use stronger or weaker constraints
if desired, ignoring the recommendation.
Once we've installed the necessary plugins, we'll do one more walk of
the available plugins and record the SHA256 hashes of all of the plugins
we select in the provider lock file.
The file we write here gets read when we're building ContextOpts to
initialize the main terraform context, so any command that works with
the context will then fail if any of the provider binaries change.
As well as constraining plugins by version number, we also want to be
able to pin plugins to use specific executables so that we can detect
drift in available plugins between commands.
This commit allows such requirements to be specified, but doesn't yet
specify any such requirements, nor validate them.
Add discovery.GetProviders to fetch plugins from the relases site.
This is an early version, with no tests, that only (probably) fetches
plugins from the default location. The URLs are still subject to change,
and since there are no plugin releases, it doesn't work at all yet.
Instead of providing the a path in BackendOpts, provide a loaded
*config.Config instead. This reduces the number of places where
configuration is loaded.
The reconfigure flag will force init to ignore any saved backend state.
This is useful when a user does not want any backend migration to
happen, or if the saved configuration can't be loaded at all for some
reason.
A couple commits got rebased together here, and it's easier to enumerate
them in a single commit.
Skip copying of states during migration if they are the same state. This
can happen when trying to reconfigure a backend's options, or if the
state was manually transferred. This can fail unexpectedly with locking
enabled.
Honor the `-input` flag for all confirmations (the new test hit some
more). Also unify where we reference the Meta.forceInitCopy and transfer
the value to the existing backendMigrateOpts.force field.
Add the -lock-timeout flag to the appropriate commands.
Add the -lock flag to `init` and `import` which were missing it.
Set both stateLock and stateLockTimeout in Meta.flagsSet, and remove the
extra references for clarity.
The `-force-copy` option will suppress confirmation for copying state
data.
Modify some tests to use the option, making sure to leave coverage of
the Input code path.
This augments backend-config to also accept key=value pairs.
This should make Terraform easier to script rather than having to
generate a JSON file.
You must still specify the backend type as a minimal amount in
configurations, example:
```
terraform { backend "consul" {} }
```
This is required because Terraform needs to be able to detect the
_absense_ of that value for unsetting, if that is necessary at some
point.
We need to initialize the backend even if the config has no backend set.
This allows `init` to work when unsetting a previously set backend.
Without this, there was no way to unset a backend.
Terraform 0.7 introduces lists and maps as first-class values for
variables, in addition to string values which were previously available.
However, there was previously no way to override the default value of a
list or map, and the functionality for overriding specific map keys was
broken.
Using the environment variable method for setting variable values, there
was previously no way to give a variable a value of a list or map. These
now support HCL for individual values - specifying:
TF_VAR_test='["Hello", "World"]'
will set the variable `test` to a two-element list containing "Hello"
and "World". Specifying
TF_VAR_test_map='{"Hello = "World", "Foo" = "bar"}'
will set the variable `test_map` to a two-element map with keys "Hello"
and "Foo", and values "World" and "bar" respectively.
The same logic is applied to `-var` flags, and the file parsed by
`-var-files` ("autoVariables").
Note that care must be taken to not run into shell expansion for `-var-`
flags and environment variables.
We also merge map keys where appropriate. The override syntax has
changed (to be noted in CHANGELOG as a breaking change), so several
tests needed their syntax updating from the old `amis.us-east-1 =
"newValue"` style to `amis = "{ "us-east-1" = "newValue"}"` style as
defined in TF-002.
In order to continue supporting the `-var "foo=bar"` type of variable
flag (which is not valid HCL), a special case error is checked after HCL
parsing fails, and the old code path runs instead.
