Error messages for preconditions, postconditions, and custom variable
validations have until now been string literals. This commit changes
this to treat the field as an HCL expression, which must evaluate to a
string. Most commonly this will either be a string literal or a template
expression.
When the check rule condition is evaluated, we also evaluate the error
message. This means that the error message should always evaluate to a
string value, even if the condition passes. If it does not, this will
result in an error diagnostic.
If the condition fails, and the error message also fails to evaluate, we
fall back to a default error message. This means that the check rule
failure will still be reported, alongside diagnostics explaining why the
custom error message failed to render.
As part of this change, we also necessarily remove the heuristic about
the error message format. This guidance can be readded in future as part
of a configuration hint system.
This allows precondition and postcondition checks to be declared for
resources and output values as long as the preconditions_postconditions
experiment is enabled.
Terraform Core doesn't currently know anything about these features, so
as of this commit declaring them does nothing at all.
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).
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.
