Many cloud services prevent duplicate key pairs with different names.
Among them are Digital Ocean, Joyent Triton and Packet. Consequently, if
tests leave dangling resources it is not enough to simply randomise the
name, the entire key material must be regenerated.
This commit adds a helper method that returns a new randomly generated
key pair, where the public key material is formatted in OpenSSH
"authorized keys" format, and the private key material is PEM encoded.
The Required||Optional logic in schemaMap.Input was incorrect, causing
it to always request input. Fix the logic, and the associated tests
which were passing "just because".
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.
helper/schema: Rename Timeout resource block to Timeouts
- Pluralize configuration argument name to better represent that there is
one block for many timeouts
- use a const for the configuration timeouts key
- update docs
the terraform package doesn't know about TestProvider, so don't put the
hooks in terraform.MockResourceProvider. Wrap the mock in the test where
we need to check the TestProvider functionality.
Call all ResourceProviderFactories and reset the providers before tests.
Store the provider and/or the error in a fixed factory function to be
returned again later.
Provider.TestReset resets the internal state of the Provider at the
start of a test. This also adds a MetaReset function field to
schema.Provider, which is called by TestReset and can be used to reset
any other tsated stored in the provider metadata.
This is currently used to reset the internal Context returned by
StopContext between tests, and should be implemented by a provider if
it stores a Context from a previous test.

This changes the type of values in Meta for InstanceState to
`interface{}`. They were `string` before.
This will allow richer structures to be persisted to this without
flatmapping them (down with flatmap!). The documentation clearly states
that only primitives/collections are allowed here.
The only thing using this was helper/schema for schema versioning.
Appropriate type checking was added to make this change safe.
The timeout work @catsby is doing will use this for a richer structure.
Fixes#12183
The fix is in flatmap for this but the entire issue is a bit more
complex. Given a schema with a computed set, if you reference it like
this:
lookup(attr[0], "field")
And "attr" contains a computed set within it, it would panic even though
"field" is available. There were a couple avenues I could've taken to
fix this:
1.) Any complex value containing any unknown value at any point is
entirely unknown.
2.) Only the specific part of the complex value is unknown.
I took route 2 so that the above works without any computed (since
"name" is not computed but something else is). This may actually have an
effect on other parts of Terraform configs, however those similar
configs would've simply crashed previously so it shouldn't break any
pre-existing configs.
To avoid chasing down issues like #11635 I'm proposing we disable the
shadow graph for end users now that we have merged in all the new
graphs. I've kept it around and default-on for tests so that we can use
it to test new features as we build them. I think it'll still have value
going forward but I don't want to hold us for making it work 100% with
all of Terraform at all times.
I propose backporting this to 0-8-stable, too.
Before this patch it was not possible to test for a key in a map where
the value is an empty string. With this patch, however, it is now
possible to write a check like:
```
resource.TestCheckResourceAttr("res.name", "mymap.KeyWithEmptyValue", ""),
```
To test that `KeyWithEmptyValue` is a valid key in `mymap`.
Fixes#10716
This trims whitespace around the key in the `-var` flag.
This is a regression from 0.7.x.
The value is whitespace sensitive unless double-quoted. This is the same
behavior as 0.7.x. I considered rejecting whitespace around the '='
completely but I don't want to introduce BC and the behavior actually
seems quite obvious to me.
This commit extracts the GPG code used for aws_iam_user_login_profile
into a library that can be reused for other resources, and updates the
call sites appropriately.
Accessing an interpolated value in a map through ConfigFieldReader can
fail, because GetRaw can't access interpolated values, so check if the
value exists at all by looking in the config. If the config has a value,
assume our map's value is interpolated and proceed as such.
We also need to lookup the correct schema to properly read a field from
a nested structure.
- Maps previously always defaulted to TypeString. Now check if Elem is a
ValueType and use that if applicable
- Lists now return the schema for nested element types, defaulting to a
TypeString like maps.
This only allows maps and lists to be nested one level deep, and the
inner map or list must only contain string values.
Fixes#10266
panicwrap was using Extrafiles to get the original standard streams for
`terraform console`. This doesn't work on Windows. Instead, we must use
the Win32 APIs to get the exact handles.
Needed due to work done in 95d37ea, we may need to adjust
hasComputedSubKeys to propagate NewComputed in the same way that we
have added "~", however will wait for comment from @mitchellh.
This covers:
* Complex sets with computed fields in a set
* Complex lists with computed fields in a set
Adding a test to test basic lists with computed fields seemed to fail,
but possibly for an unrelated reason (the list returned as nil). The fix
to this inparticular case may be out of the scope of this specific
issue.
Reference gist and details in hashicorp/terraform#9171.
This fixes some edge-ish cases where a set in a config has a set or list
in it that contains computed values, but non-set or list values in the
parent do not.
This can cause "diffs didn't match during apply" errors in a scenario
such as when a set's hash is calculated off of child items (including
any sub-lists or sets, as it should be), and the hash changes between
the plan and apply diffs due to the computed values present in the
sub-list or set items. These will be marked as computed, but due to the
fact that the function was not iterating over the list or set items
properly (ie: not adding the item number to the address, so
set.0.set.foo was being yielded instead of set.0.set.0.foo), these
computed values were not being properly propagated to the parent set to
be marked as computed.
Fixeshashicorp/terraform#6527.

This possibly fixes other non-CloudFront related issues too.
UniqueId attempted to provide an ordered unique id by using a nanosecond
timestamp, but doesn't take into account that time is not monotonic
increasing. This provides an implementation that will always be
increasing.
Fixes#10125
If the elements are computed and the field is ForceNew, then we should
mark the computed count as potentially forcing a new operation.
Example, assuming `groups` forces new...
**Step 1:**
groups = ["1", "2", "3"]
At this point, the resource isn't create, so this should result in a
diff like:
CREATE resource:
groups: "" => ["1", "2", "3"]
**Step 2:**
groups = ["${computedvar}"]
The OLD behavior was:
UPDATE resource
groups.#: "3" => "computed"
This would cause a diff mismatch because if `${computedvar}` was
different then it should force new. The NEW behavior is:
DESTROY/CREATE resource:
groups.#: "3" => "computed" (forces new)
Fixes#10122
The simple fix was that we forgot to close `ReadDataApply` for the
provider. But I've always felt that this section of the code was brittle
and I wanted to put in a more robust solution. The `shadow.Close` method
uses reflection to automatically close all values.
This turns the new graphs on by default and puts the old graphs behind a
flag `-Xlegacy-graph`. This effectively inverts the current 0.7.x
behavior with the new graphs.
We've incubated most of these for a few weeks now. We've found issues
and we've fixed them and we've been using these graphs internally for
awhile without any major issue. Its time to default them on and get them
part of a beta.
Fixes#2748
This changes the diff to only mark "forces new resource" on the fields
that actually caused the new resource, not every field that changed.
This makes diffs much more accurate.
I'd like to request a review but I'm going to defer merging until
Terraform 0.8. Changes like this are very possible to cause "diffs
didn't match" errors and I want some real world testing in a beta before
we hit prod with this.
Fixes#7715
If a bool field was computed and the raw value was not convertable to a
boolean, helper/schema would crash. The correct behavior is to try not
to read the raw value when the value is computed and to simply mark that
it is computed. This does that (and matches the behavior of the other
primitives).
Fixes#5138
If an item is optional and is removed completely from the configuration,
it should still trigger a destroy/create if the field itself was marked
as "ForceNew".
See the example in #5138.
This creates a standard package and interface for defining, querying,
setting experiments (`-X` flags).
I expect we'll want to continue to introduce various features behind
experimental flags. I want to make doing this as easy as possible and I
want to make _removing_ experiments as easy as possible as well.
The goal with this packge has been to rely on the compiler enforcing our
experiment references as much as possible. This means that every
experiment is a global variable that must be referenced directly, so
when it is removed you'll get compiler errors where the experiment is
referenced.
This also unifies and makes it easy to grab CLI flags to enable/disable
experiments as well as env vars! This way defining an experiment is just
a couple lines of code (documented on the package).
Fixes#3309
There are two primary changes, one to how helper/schema creates diffs
and one to how Terraform compares diffs. Both require careful
understanding.
== 1. helper/schema Changes
helper/schema, given any primitive field (string, int, bool, etc.)
_used to_ create a basic diff when given a computed new value (i.e. from
an unkown interpolation). This would put in the plan that the old value
is whatever the old value was, and the new value was the actual
interpolation. For example, from #3309, the diff showed the following:
```
~ module.test.aws_eip.test-instance.0
instance: "<INSTANCE ID>" => "${element(aws_instance.test-instance.*.id, count.index)}"
```
Then, when running `apply`, the diff would be realized and you would get
a diff mismatch error because it would realize the final value is the
same and remove it from the diff.
**The change:** `helper/schema` now marks unknown primitive values with
`NewComputed` set to true. Semantically this is correct for the diff to
have this information.
== 2. Terraform Diff.Same Changes
Next, the way Terraform compares diffs needed to be updated
Specifically, the case where the diff from the plan had a NewComputed
primitive and the diff from the apply _no longer has that value_. This
is possible if the computed value ended up being the same as the old
value. This is allowed to pass through.
Together, these fix#3309.
This reverts commit c3a4cff133, reversing
changes made to 791a02e6e4.
This change requires plugin recompilation and we should hold off until a
minor release for that.
This commit implements reusable functions for when resources have no
need to implement a particular operation:
- Noop - does nothing and returns no error.
- RemoveFromState - sets the resource ID to empty string (removing it
from state) and returns no error.
This is required for the times when the configuration cannot have an
empty configuration. An example would be in AzureRM, when you create a
LoadBalancer with a configuration, you can delete *all* but 1 of these
configurations
This changes the key for the storage to be the _raw_ source from the
module, not the fully expanded source. Example: it'll be a relative path
instead of an absolute path.
This allows the ".terraform/modules" directory to be portable when
moving to other machines. This was a behavior that existed in <= 0.7.2
and was broken with #8398. This amends that and adds a test to verify.
This commit adds a new callback, DiffSuppressFunc, to the schema.Schema
structure. If set for a given schema, a callback to the user-supplied
function will be made for each attribute for which the default
type-based diff mechanism produces an attribute diff. Returning `true`
from the callback will suppress the diff (i.e. pretend there was no
diff), and returning false will retain it as part of the plan.
There are a number of motivating examples for this - one of which is
included as an example:
1. On SSH public keys, trailing whitespace does not matter in many
cases - and in some cases it is added by provider APIs. For
digitalocean_ssh_key resources we previously had a StateFunc that
trimmed the whitespace - we now have a DiffSuppressFunc which
verifies whether the trimmed strings are equivalent.
2. IAM policy equivalence for AWS. A good proportion of AWS issues
relate to IAM policies which have been "normalized" (used loosely)
by the IAM API endpoints. This can make the JSON strings differ
from those generated by iam_policy_document resources or template
files, even though the semantics are the same (for example,
reordering of `bucket-prefix/` and `bucket-prefix/*` in an S3
bucket policy. DiffSupressFunc can be used to test for semantic
equivalence rather than pure text equivalence, but without having to
deal with the complexity associated with a full "provider-land" diff
implementation without helper/schema.
The WaitForState method can't read the result values in a timeout
because they are still owned by the running goroutine. Keep all values
scoped inside the goroutine, and save them into an atomic.Value to be
returned.
Fixes race introduced in #8510
This means that two resources created by the same rule will get names
which sort in the order they are created.
The rest of the ID is still random base32 characters; we no longer set
the bit values that denote UUIDv4.
The length of the ID returned by PrefixedUniqueId is not changed by this
commit; that way we don't break any resources where the underlying
resource has a name length limit.
Fixes#8143.
This commit adds a function which composes a series of TestFuncs, but
will run all tests before returning an error, unlike ComposeTestFunc.
This is useful when verifying contents of state in acceptance tests and
it is desirable to see all the failing cases in one run for slow
resources.
This commit adds a TestCheckFunc which ensures that a value is set for a
given name/key combination. It is primarily useful for ensuring that
computed values are set where it is not possible to know the expected
value ahead of time.
Fixes issue where a resource marked as tainted with no other attribute
diffs would never show up in the plan or apply as needing to be
replaced.
One unrelated test needed updating due to a quirk in the testDiffFn
logic - it adds a "type" field diff if the diff is non-Empty. NBD
Set the default log package output to iotuil.Discard during tests if the
`-v` flag isn't set. If we are verbose, then apply the filter according
to the TF_LOG env variable.
In #7170 we found two scenarios where the type checking done during the
`context.Validate()` graph walk was circumvented, and the subsequent
assumption of type safety in the provider's `Diff()` implementation
caused panics.
Both scenarios have to do with interpolations that reference Computed
values. The sentinel we use to indicate that a value is Computed does
not carry any type information with it yet.
That means that an incorrect reference to a list or a map in a string
attribute can "sneak through" validation only to crop up...
1. ...during Plan for Data Source References
2. ...during Apply for Resource references
In order to address this, we:
* add high-level tests for each of these two scenarios in `provider/test`
* add context-level tests for the same two scenarios in `terraform`
(these tests proved _really_ tricky to write!)
* place an `EvalValidateResource` just before `EvalDiff` and `EvalApply` to
catch these errors
* add some plumbing to `Plan()` and `Apply()` to return validation
errors, which were previously only generated during `Validate()`
* wrap unit-tests around `EvalValidateResource`
* add an `IgnoreWarnings` option to `EvalValidateResource` to prevent
active warnings from halting execution on the second-pass validation
Eventually, we might be able to attach type information to Computed
values, which would allow for these errors to be caught earlier. For
now, this solution keeps us safe from panics and raises the proper
errors to the user.
Fixes#7170
I noticed we had two mechanisms for unit test override. One that dropped
a sentinel into the env var, and another with a struct member on
TestCase. This consolidates the two, using the cleaner struct member
internal mechanism and the nicer `resource.UnitTest()` entry point.
Although DiffFieldReader was the one mostly responsible for a buggy behaviour
more tests were added throughout the debugging process most of which
would fail without the bugfix.

- MultiLevelFieldReader
- MapFieldReader

The helper/schema framework for building providers previously validated
in all cases that each field being set in state was in the schema.
However, in order to support remote state in a usable fashion, the need
has arisen for the top level attributes of the resource to be created
dynamically. In order to still be able to use helper/schema, this commit
adds the capability to assign additional fields.
Though I do not forsee this being used by providers other than remote
state (and that eventually may move into Terraform Core rather than
being a provider), the usage and semantics are:
To opt into dynamic attributes, add a schema attribute named
"__has_dynamic_attributes", and make it an optional string with no
default value, in order that it does not appear in diffs:
"__has_dynamic_attributes": {
Type: schema.TypeString
Optional: true
}
In the read callback, use the d.UnsafeSetFieldRaw(key, value) function
to set the dynamic attributes.
Note that other fields in the schema _are_ copied into state, and that
the names of the schema fields cannot currently be used as dynamic
attribute names, as we check to ensure a value is not already set for a
given key.
This commit adds a flag to acceptance tests in order to make
appropriately named tests work during `make test` irrespective of the
TF_ACC environment variable. This should only be used on tests which are
known to be fast.
The serializeCollectionMemberForHash helper can't be called for the
MapType values, because MapType doesn't have a schema.Elem. Instead, we
can write the key/value pairs directly to the buffer. This still doesn't
allow for nested maps or lists, but we need to define that use case
before committing to it here.
The flatmapped representation of state prior to this commit encoded maps
and lists (and therefore by extension, sets) with a key corresponding to
the number of elements, or the unknown variable indicator under a .# key
and then individual items. For example, the list ["a", "b", "c"] would
have been encoded as:
listname.# = 3
listname.0 = "a"
listname.1 = "b"
listname.2 = "c"
And the map {"key1": "value1", "key2", "value2"} would have been encoded
as:
mapname.# = 2
mapname.key1 = "value1"
mapname.key2 = "value2"
Sets use the hash code as the key - for example a set with a (fictional)
hashcode calculation may look like:
setname.# = 2
setname.12312512 = "value1"
setname.56345233 = "value2"
Prior to the work done to extend the type system, this was sufficient
since the internal representation of these was effectively the same.
However, following the separation of maps and lists into distinct
first-class types, this encoding presents a problem: given a state file,
it is impossible to tell the encoding of an empty list and an empty map
apart. This presents problems for the type checker during interpolation,
as many interpolation functions will operate on only one of these two
structures.
This commit therefore changes the representation in state of maps to use
a "%" as the key for the number of elements. Consequently the map above
will now be encoded as:
mapname.% = 2
mapname.key1 = "value1"
mapname.key2 = "value2"
This has the effect of an empty list (or set) now being encoded as:
listname.# = 0
And an empty map now being encoded as:
mapname.% = 0
Therefore we can eliminate some nasty guessing logic from the resource
variable supplier for interpolation, at the cost of having to migrate
state up front (to follow in a subsequent commit).
In order to reduce the number of potential situations in which resources
would be "forced new", we continue to accept "#" as the count key when
reading maps via helper/schema. There is no situation under which we can
allow "#" as an actual map key in any case, as it would not be
distinguishable from a list or set in state.
The mapstructure library has a regrettable backward compatibility
concern whereby a WeakDecode of []interface{}{} into a target of
map[string]interface{} yields an empty map rather than an error. One
possibility is to switch to using Decode instead of WeakDecode, but this
loses the nice handling of type conversion, requiring a large volume of
code to be added to Terraform or HIL in order to retain that behaviour.
Instead we add a DecodeHook to our usage of the mapstructure library
which checks for decoding []interface{}{} or []string{} into a map and
returns an error instead.
This has the effect of defeating the code added to retain backwards
compatibility in mapstructure, giving us the correct (for our
circumstances) behaviour of Decode for empty structures and the type
conversion of WeakDecode.
The code is identical to that in the HIL library, and packaged into a
helper.
This an effort to address hashicorp/terraform#516.
Adding the Sensitive attribute to the resource schema, opening up the
ability for resource maintainers to mark some fields as sensitive.
Sensitive fields are hidden in the output, and, possibly in the future,
could be encrypted.
This means it’s shown correctly in a plan and takes into account any
actions that are dependant on the tainted resource and, vice verse, any
actions that the tainted resource depends on.
So this changes the behaviour from saying this resource is tainted so
just forget about it and make sure it gets deleted in the background,
to saying I want that resource to be recreated (taking into account the
existing resource and it’s place in the graph).
When testing destroy, the test harness calls Refresh followed by Plan,
with the expectation that the resulting diff will be empty.
Data resources challenge this expectation, because they will always be
instantiated during refresh if their configuration isn't computed, and so
the subsequent diff will want to destroy what was instantiated.
To work around this, we make an exception that data resource destroy
diffs may appear in the plan but nothing else.
This fixes#6713.
This commit forward ports the changes made for 0.6.17, in order to store
the type and sensitive flag against outputs.
It also refactors the logic of the import for V0 to V1 state, and
fixes up the call sites of the new format for outputs in V2 state.
Finally we fix up tests which did not previously set a state version
where one is required.
For backward compatibility we will continue to support using the data
sources that were formerly logical resources as resources for the moment,
but we want to warn the user about it since this support is likely to
be removed in future.
This is done by adding a new "deprecation message" feature to
schema.Resource, but for the moment this is done as an internal feature
(not usable directly by plugins) so that we can collect additional
use-cases and design a more general interface before creating a
compatibility constraint.
Historically we've had some "read-only" and "logical" resources. With the
addition of the data source concept these will gradually become data
sources, but we need to retain backward compatibility with existing
configurations that use the now-deprecated resources.
This shim is intended to allow us to easily create a resource from a
data source implementation. It adjusts the schema as needed and adds
stub Create and Delete implementations.
This would ideally also produce a deprecation warning whenever such a
shimmed resource is used, but the schema system doesn't currently have
a mechanism for resource-specific validation, so that remains just a TODO
for the moment.
In the "schema" layer a Resource is just any "thing" that has a schema
and supports some or all of the CRUD operations. Data sources introduce
a new use of Resource to represent read-only resources, which require
some different InternalValidate logic.
This is a breaking change to the ResourceProvider interface that adds the
new operations relating to data sources.
DataSources, ValidateDataSource, ReadDataDiff and ReadDataApply are the
data source equivalents of Resources, Validate, Diff and Apply (respectively)
for managed resources.
The diff/apply model seems at first glance a rather strange workflow for
read-only resources, but implementing data resources in this way allows them
to fit cleanly into the standard plan/apply lifecycle in cases where the
configuration contains computed arguments and thus the read must be deferred
until apply time.
Along with breaking the interface, we also fix up the plugin client/server
and helper/schema implementations of it, which are all of the callers
used when provider plugins use helper/schema. This would be a breaking
change for any provider plugin that directly implements the provider
interface, but no known plugins do this and it is not recommended.
At the helper/schema layer the implementer sees ReadDataApply as a "Read",
as opposed to "Create" or "Update" as in the managed resource Apply
implementation. The planning mechanics are handled entirely within
helper/schema, so that complexity is hidden from the provider implementation
itself.
This adds a test and the support necessary to read from native maps
passed as variables via interpolation - for example:
```
resource ...... {
mapValue = "${var.map}"
}
```
We also add support for interpolating maps from the flat-mapped resource
config, which is necessary to support assignment of computed maps, which
is now valid.
Unfortunately there is no good way to distinguish between a list and a
map in the flatmap. In lieu of changing that representation (which is
risky), we assume that if all the keys are numeric, this is intended to
be a list, and if not it is intended to be a map. This does preclude
maps which have purely numeric keys, which should be noted as a
backwards compatibility concern.
This commit adds support for native list variables and outputs, building
up on the previous change to state. Interpolation functions now return
native lists in preference to StringList.
List variables are defined like this:
variable "test" {
# This can also be inferred
type = "list"
default = ["Hello", "World"]
}
output "test_out" {
value = "${var.a_list}"
}
This results in the following state:
```
...
"outputs": {
"test_out": [
"hello",
"world"
]
},
...
```
And the result of terraform output is as follows:
```
$ terraform output
test_out = [
hello
world
]
```
Using the output name, an xargs-friendly representation is output:
```
$ terraform output test_out
hello
world
```
The output command also supports indexing into the list (with
appropriate range checking and no wrapping):
```
$ terraform output test_out 1
world
```
Along with maps, list outputs from one module may be passed as variables
into another, removing the need for the `join(",", var.list_as_string)`
and `split(",", var.list_as_string)` which was previously necessary in
Terraform configuration.
This commit also updates the tests and implementations of built-in
interpolation functions to take and return native lists where
appropriate.
A backwards compatibility note: previously the concat interpolation
function was capable of concatenating either strings or lists. The
strings use case was deprectated a long time ago but still remained.
Because we cannot return `ast.TypeAny` from an interpolation function,
this use case is no longer supported for strings - `concat` is only
capable of concatenating lists. This should not be a huge issue - the
type checker picks up incorrect parameters, and the native HIL string
concatenation - or the `join` function - can be used to replicate the
missing behaviour.
This adds a field terraform_version to the state that represents the
Terraform version that wrote that state. If Terraform encounters a state
written by a future version, it will error. You must use at least the
version that wrote that state.
Internally we have fields to override this behavior (StateFutureAllowed),
but I chose not to expose them as CLI flags, since the user can just
modify the state directly. This is tricky, but should be tricky to
represent the horrible disaster that can happen by enabling it.
We didn't have to bump the state format version since the absense of the
field means it was written by version "0.0.0" which will always be
older. In effect though this change will always apply to version 2 of
the state since it appears in 0.7 which bumped the version for other
purposes.
For a long time now, the diff logic has relied on the behavior of
`mapstructure.WeakDecode` to determine how various primitives are
converted into strings. The `schema.DiffString` function is used for
all primitive field types: TypeBool, TypeInt, TypeFloat, and TypeString.
The `mapstructure` library's string representation of booleans is "0"
and "1", which differs from `strconv.FormatBool`'s "false" and "true"
(which is used in writing out boolean fields to the state).
Because of this difference, diffs have long had the potential for
cosmetically odd but semantically neutral output like:
"true" => "1"
"false" => "0"
So long as `mapstructure.Decode` or `strconv.ParseBool` are used to
interpret these strings, there's no functional problem.
We had our first clear functional problem with #6005 and friends, where
users noticed diffs like the above showing up unexpectedly and causing
troubles when `ignore_changes` was in play.
This particular bug occurs down in Terraform core's EvalIgnoreChanges.
There, the diff is modified to account for ignored attributes, and
special logic attempts to handle properly the situation where the
ignored attribute was going to trigger a resource replacement. That
logic relies on the string representations of the Old and New fields in
the diff to be the same so that it filters properly.
So therefore, we now get a bug when a diff includes `Old: "0", New:
"false"` since the strings do not match, and `ignore_changes` is not
properly handled.
Here, we introduce `TypeBool`-specific normalizing into `finalizeDiff`.
I spiked out a full `diffBool` function, but figuring out which pieces
of `diffString` to duplicate there got hairy. This seemed like a simpler
and more direct solution.
Fixes#6005 (and potentially others!)
