Errors were being ignore with the intention that they would be caught
later in validation, but it turns out we nee dto catch those earlier.
The legacy schemas also allowed providers to set and empty string for a
bool value, which we need to handle here, since it's not being handled
from user input like a normal config value.
When normalizing flatmapped containers, compare the attributes to the
prior state and preserve pre-existing zero-length or unknown values. A
zero-length value that was previously unknown is preserved as a
zero-length value, as that may have been computed as such by the
provider.
The main significant change here is that the package name for the proto
definition is "tfplugin5", which is important because this name is part
of the wire protocol for references to types defined in our package.
Along with that, we also move the generated package into "internal" to
make it explicit that importing the generated Go package from elsewhere is
not the right approach for externally-implemented SDKs, which should
instead vendor the proto definition they are using and generate their
own stubs to ensure that the wire protocol is the only hard dependency
between Terraform Core and plugins.
After this is merged, any provider binaries built against our
helper/schema package will need to be rebuilt so that they use the new
"tfplugin5" package name instead of "proto".
In a future commit we will include more elaborate and organized
documentation on how an external codebase might make use of our RPC
interface definition to implement an SDK, but the primary concern here
is to ensure we have the right wire package name before release.
In order to prevent mismatched states between read/plan/apply, we need
to ensure that the attributes are generated consistently each time.
Because of the various ways in which helper/schema and the hcl2 shims
interpret empty values, the only way to ensure consistency is to always
remove them altogether.
helper/schema will remove "timeouts" from the config, and stash them in
the diff.Meta map. Terraform sees "timeouts" as a regular config block,
so needs them to be present in the state in order to not show a diff.
Have the GRPCProviderServer shim copy all timeout values into any state
it returns to provide consistent diffs in core.
Resource timeouts were a separate config block, but did not exist in the
resource schema. Insert any defined timeouts when generating the
configshema.Block so that the fields can be accepted and validated by
core.
Use the new SimpleDiff method of the provider so that the diff isn't
altered by ForceNew attributes.
Always set an "id" as RequiresReplace so core knows an instance will be
replaced, even if all ForceNew attributes are filtered out due to
ignore_changes.
While the schema Diff fucntion returns a nil diff when creating an empty
(except for id) resource, the Apply function expects the diff to be
initialized and ampty.
PlanResourceChange isn't returning the diff, but rather it is returning
the destired state. If the propsed state results in a nil diff, then,
the propsed state is what should be returned.
Make sure Meta fields are not nil, as the schema package expects those
to be initialised.
Previously we just left these out of the plan altogether, but in the new
plan types we intentionally include change information for every resource
instance, even if no changes are actually planned, to allow alternative
plan file viewers to show what isn't changing as well as what is.
Managing which function need to be shared between the terraform plugin
and the helper plugin without creating cycles was becoming difficult.
Move all functions related to converting between terraform and proto
type into plugin/convert.
The new helper/plugin package contains the grpc servers for handling the
new plugin protocol
The GRPCProviderServer and GRPCProvisionerServer handle the grpc plugin
protocol, and convert the requests to the legacy schema.Provider and
schema.Provisioner methods.
