Some of the objects that are referencable from expressions are transient
values computed only during a graph walk, and not persisted in state. In
order to support arbitrary evaluation of expressions, such as in the
"terraform console" CLI command, it's necessary to be able to evaluate
these values before we start evaluating.
This new Eval method achieves this by performing a special graph walk that
ignores resources (except for dependency resolution) and just focuses on
evaluating all of these transient values, before returning an evaluation
scope that can then resolve expressions in terms of that result.
This replaces the Context.Interpolator method, which was fraught with
various issues due to it not properly priming the state before evaluating.
stringer has changed the boilerplate it generates in a recent version.
We'd previously updated to the new format but accientally rolled back
to the old while merging a long-running feature branch.
This restores us back to the new format again.
golang/tools commit 23ca8a263 changed the format of the leading comment
to comply with some new standards discussed here:
https://golang.org/issue/13560
This is the result of running generate with the latest version of
stringer. Everyone working on Terraform will need to update stringer
after this is merged, to avoid reverting this:
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
By prefixing them with `cmd /c` it will work with both `winner` and
`ssh` connection types.
This PR also reverts some bad stringer changes made in PR #2673
