Our initial Terraform 0.13.0 release will continue to support only the
hard-coded official HashiCorp signing key, with support for other keys to
follow in a later release once the trust infrastructure is in place to
support that.
This change is intended to (marginally) improve the UX for a possible
future situation where a HashiCorp-distributed provider makes a released
signed with a new key and a prior version of Terraform ends up trying to
install it due to incorrect version constraints. With this new text we
hope to give the user a better prompt for onward troubleshooting, but
in a sort of hedging way because we have not yet finalized the details of
how new keys might roll out in practice.
Hopefully a user seeing this message would consult the release notes for
Terraform itself and for the provider in question and find some
as-yet-undetermined information about how to proceed.
If the decentralized trust model design comes together before the v0.13.0
release then we may make further amendments here to prepare for that, but
that work should not block the v0.13.0 release if other work concludes
first.
* command: use backend config from state when backend=false is used.
When a user runs `terraform init --backend=false`, terraform should
inspect the state for a previously-configured backend, and use that
backend, ignoring any backend config in the current configuration. If no
backend is configured or there is no state, return a local backend.
Fixes#16593
* terraform/context: use new addrs.Provider as map key in provider factories
* added NewLegacyProviderType and LegacyString funcs to make it explicit that these are temporary placeholders
This PR introduces a new concept, provider fully-qualified name (FQN), encapsulated by the `addrs.Provider` struct.
Previously we were using the experimental HCL 2 repository, but now we'll
shift over to the v2 import path within the main HCL repository as part of
actually releasing HCL 2.0 as stable.
This is a mechanical search/replace to the new import paths. It also
switches to the v2.0.0 release of HCL, which includes some new code that
Terraform didn't previously have but should not change any behavior that
matters for Terraform's purposes.
For the moment the experimental HCL2 repository is still an indirect
dependency via terraform-config-inspect, so it remains in our go.sum and
vendor directories for the moment. Because terraform-config-inspect uses
a much smaller subset of the HCL2 functionality, this does still manage
to prune the vendor directory a little. A subsequent release of
terraform-config-inspect should allow us to completely remove that old
repository in a future commit.
* command/init: omit a warning if -backend-config is used with no backend
block
Terraform would silently accept - and swallow - `-backend-config` on the
CLI when there was no `backend` block. Since it is mostly expected to
override existing backend configuration, terraform
should omit a warning if there is no backend configuration to
override.
If the user intended to override the default (local) backend
configuration, they can first add a `backend` block to the `terraform` block to silence the warning (or just ignore it):
```hcl
terraform {
backend "local" {}
}
```
There is currently no way to unset -backend-config during init, since
not setting that option assumes the user will use the saved config.
Allow setting `-backend-config=""` to specify no overrides.
If the registry is unresponsive, you will now get an error
specific to this, rather than a misleading "provider unavailable" type
error. Also adds debug logging for when errors like this may occur
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
There are a few constructs from 0.11 and prior that cause 0.12 parsing to
fail altogether, which previously created a chicken/egg problem because
we need to install the providers in order to run "terraform 0.12upgrade"
and thus fix the problem.
This changes "terraform init" to use the new "early configuration" loader
for module and provider installation. This is built on the more permissive
parser in the terraform-config-inspect package, and so it allows us to
read out the top-level blocks from the configuration while accepting
legacy HCL syntax.
In the long run this will let us do version compatibility detection before
attempting a "real" config load, giving us better error messages for any
future syntax additions, but in the short term the key thing is that it
allows us to install the dependencies even if the configuration isn't
fully valid.
Because backend init still requires full configuration, this introduces a
new mode of terraform init where it detects heuristically if it seems like
we need to do a configuration upgrade and does a partial init if so,
before finally directing the user to run "terraform 0.12upgrade" before
running any other commands.
The heuristic here is based on two assumptions:
- If the "early" loader finds no errors but the normal loader does, the
configuration is likely to be valid for Terraform 0.11 but not 0.12.
- If there's already a version constraint in the configuration that
excludes Terraform versions prior to v0.12 then the configuration is
probably _already_ upgraded and so it's just a normal syntax error,
even if the early loader didn't detect it.
Once the upgrade process is removed in 0.13.0 (users will be required to
go stepwise 0.11 -> 0.12 -> 0.13 to upgrade after that), some of this can
be simplified to remove that special mode, but the idea of doing the
dependency version checks against the liberal parser will remain valuable
to increase our chances of reporting version-based incompatibilities
rather than syntax errors as we add new features in future.
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.
So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.
Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.
In prior refactoring we lost the required core version check from
"terraform init", which we restore here.
Additionally, this test used to have an incorrect name that suggested it
was testing something in the "getProvider" codepath, but version checking
happens regardless of what other options are selected.
When we originally wrote this message we struggled a bit for how to refer
to the releases server without writing an awkwardly-ungrammatical
sentence, and so "the official repository" became a placeholder name for
it.
Now that we'll be looking in Terraform Registry this gives us a nice
proper noun to use. This message will need to evolve more as our
integration with the registry gets more sophisticated, but for now this
works.
This work was done against APIs that were already changed in the branch
before work began, and so it doesn't apply to the v0.12 development work.
To allow v0.12 to merge down to master, we'll revert this work out for now
and then re-introduce equivalent functionality in later commits that works
against the new APIs.
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
The "config" package is no longer used and will be removed as part
of the 0.12 release cleanup. Since configschema is part of the
"new world" of configuration modelling, it makes more sense for
it to live as a subdirectory of the newer "configs" package.
Due to how deeply the configuration types go into Terraform Core, there
isn't a great way to switch out to HCL2 gradually. As a consequence, this
huge commit gets us from the old state to a _compilable_ new state, but
does not yet attempt to fix any tests and has a number of known missing
parts and bugs. We will continue to iterate on this in forthcoming
commits, heading back towards passing tests and making Terraform
fully-functional again.
The three main goals here are:
- Use the configuration models from the "configs" package instead of the
older models in the "config" package, which is now deprecated and
preserved only to help us write our migration tool.
- Do expression inspection and evaluation using the functionality of the
new "lang" package, instead of the Interpolator type and related
functionality in the main "terraform" package.
- Represent addresses of various objects using types in the addrs package,
rather than hand-constructed strings. This is not critical to support
the above, but was a big help during the implementation of these other
points since it made it much more explicit what kind of address is
expected in each context.
Since our new packages are built to accommodate some future planned
features that are not yet implemented (e.g. the "for_each" argument on
resources, "count"/"for_each" on modules), and since there's still a fair
amount of functionality still using old-style APIs, there is a moderate
amount of shimming here to connect new assumptions with old, hopefully in
a way that makes it easier to find and eliminate these shims later.
I apologize in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge
commit while spelunking through the commit history.
For the moment this is just a lightly-adapted copy of
ModuleTreeDependencies named ConfigTreeDependencies, with the goal that
the two can live concurrently for the moment while not all callers are yet
updated and then we can drop ModuleTreeDependencies and its helper
functions altogether in a later commit.
This can then be used to make "terraform init" and "terraform providers"
work properly with the HCL2-powered configuration loader.
This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.
A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.
By adding this method you now only have to pass a `*disco.Disco` object around in order to do discovery and use any configured credentials for the discovered hosts.
Of course you can also still pass around both a `*disco.Disco` and a `auth.CredentialsSource` object if there is a need or a reason for that!
The init command needs to parse the state to resolve providers, but
changes to the state format can cause that to fail with difficult to
understand errors. Check the terraform version during init and provide
the same error that would be returned by plan or apply.
Previously we required callers to separately call .Validate on the root
module to determine if there were any value errors, but we did that
inconsistently and would thus see crashes in some cases where later code
would try to use invalid configuration as if it were valid.
Now we run .Validate automatically after config loading, returning the
resulting diagnostics. Since we return a diagnostics here, it's possible
to return both warnings and errors.
We return the loaded module even if it's invalid, so callers are free to
ignore returned errors and try to work with the config anyway, though they
will need to be defensive against invalid configuration themselves in
that case.
As a result of this, all of the commands that load configuration now need
to use diagnostic printing to signal errors. For the moment this just
allows us to return potentially-multiple config errors/warnings in full
fidelity, but also sets us up for later when more subsystems are able
to produce rich diagnostics so we can show them all together.
Finally, this commit also removes some stale, commented-out code for the
"legacy" (pre-0.8) graph implementation, which has not been available
for some time.
Validation is the best time to return detailed diagnostics
to the user since we're much more likely to have source
location information, etc than we are in later operations.
This change doesn't actually add any detail to the messages
yet, but it changes the interface so that we can gradually
introduce more detailed diagnostics over time.
While here there are some minor adjustments to some of the
messages to improve their consistency with terminology we
use elsewhere.
As part of the 0.10 core/provider split we moved this provider, along with
all the others, out into its own repository.
In retrospect, the "terraform" provider doesn't really make sense to be
separated since it's just a thin wrapper around some core code anyway,
and so re-integrating it into core avoids the confusion that results when
Terraform Core and the terraform provider have inconsistent versions of
the backend code and dependencies.
There is no good reason to use a different version of the backend code
in the provider than in core, so this new "internal provider" mechanism
is stricter than the old one: it's not possible to use an external build
of this provider at all, and version constraints for it are rejected as
a result.
This provider is also run in-process rather than in a child process, since
again it's just a very thin wrapper around code that's already running
in Terraform core anyway, and so the process barrier between the two does
not create enough advantage to warrant the additional complexity.
Change "Downloading" to 'Initializing" to match the provider loading
dialog.
List each module being loaded.
If a regisry module is being downloaded, list the registry host, and the
version discovered.
Show the source string from the config that is being fetched, rather
than the go-getter url. The full source can be found in the logs for
debugging.
Add much more extensive logging
This uses the new diagnostics printer for config-related errors in the
main five commands that deal with config.
The immediate motivation for this is to allow HCL2-produced diagnostics
to be printed out in their full fidelity, though it also slightly changes
the presentation of other errors so that they are not presented in all
red text, which can be hard to read on some terminals.
In #15884 we adjusted the plan output to give an explicit command to run
to apply a plan, whereas before this command was just alluded to in the
prose.
Since releasing that, we've got good feedback that it's confusing to
include such instructions when Terraform is running in a workflow
automation tool, because such tools usually abstract away exactly what
commands are run and require users to take different actions to
proceed through the workflow.
To accommodate such environments while retaining helpful messages for
normal CLI usage, here we introduce a new environment variable
TF_IN_AUTOMATION which, when set to a non-empty value, is a hint to
Terraform that it isn't being run in an interactive command shell and
it should thus tone down the "next steps" messaging.
The documentation for this setting is included as part of the "...in
automation" guide since it's not generally useful in other cases. We also
intentionally disclaim comprehensive support for this since we want to
avoid creating an extreme number of "if running in automation..."
codepaths that would increase the testing matrix and hurt maintainability.
The focus is specifically on the output of the three commands we give in
the automation guide, which at present means the following two situations:
* "terraform init" does not include the final paragraphs that suggest
running "terraform plan" and tell you in what situations you might need
to re-run "terraform init".
* "terraform plan" does not include the final paragraphs that either
warn about not specifying "-out=..." or instruct to run
"terraform apply" with the generated plan file.
