As of this commit this provider has only logical resources that allow
the creation of private keys, self-signed certs and certificate requests.
These can be useful when creating other resources that use TLS
certificates, such as AWS Elastic Load Balancers.
Later it could grow to include support for real certificate provision from
CAs using the LetsEncrypt ACME protocol, once it is stable.
Previous this would return the following sort of error:
expected type 'string', got unconvertible type '[]interface {}'
This is the raw error returned by the underlying mapstructure library.
This is not a helpful error message for anyone who doesn't know Go's
type system, and it exposes Terraform's internals to the UI.
Instead we'll catch these cases before we try to use mapstructure and
return a more straightforward message.
By checking the type before the IsComputed exception this also avoids
a crash caused when the assigned value is a computed list. Otherwise
the list of interpolations is allowed through here and then crashes later
during Diff when the value is not a primitive as expected.
Atlas returns an HTTP 409 - Conflict if the pushed state reports the same
Serial number but the checksum of the raw content differs. This can
sometimes happen when Terraform changes state representation internally
between versions in a way that's semantically neutral but affects the JSON
output and therefore the checksum.
Here we detect and handle this situation by ticking the serial and retrying
iff for the previous state and the proposed state:
* the serials match
* the parsed states are Equal (semantically equivalent)
In other words, in this situation Terraform can override Atlas's detected
conflict by asserting that the state it is pushing is indeed correct.
Updates the docs and clarifies the usage of `do_token` variable.
I was experiencing an issue mentioned here https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/124 and so adding more docs should be helpful.
