Previously the -upgrade option was covered only on the "terraform init" usage page. It seems also worth mentioning in the main docs on provider versioning, since we're already explaining here other mechanics of the versioning/constraints system.
Previously we were checking required_version only during "real" operations, and not during initialization. Catching it during init is better because that's the first command users run on a new working directory.
Go 1.9 adds this new function which, when called, marks the caller as
being a "helper function". Helper function stack frames are then skipped
when trying to find a line of test code to blame for a test failure, so
that the code in the main test function appears in the test failure output
rather than a line within the helper function itself.
This covers many -- but probaly not all -- of our test helpers across
various packages.
As of Go 1.9, ./... excludes the vendor directory by default and so we
no longer need to jump through hoops to exclude vendored packages from
testing, vetting, etc.
As a simplification this also re-introduces builtin/bins to the set of
packages we run tests on. With the providers now split into their own
repositories there's far fewer of these and so including them doesn't
really hurt anything, and makes our invocations here simpler.
We added the description field in 0.9 but we never parsed it because we
didn't have a use for it. As we prepare to use this field, let's start
parsing it out
Terraform modules encapsulate their resources, and dependencies can only
be expressed through outputs, which wasn't clear to me in the existing
documentation. I'm hoping a small change will make that more explicit.
The shadow graph was incredibly useful during the 0.7 cycle but these days
it is idle, since we're not planning any significant graph-related changes
for the forseeable future.
The shadow graph infrastructure is somewhat burdensome since any change
to the ResourceProvider interface must have shims written. Since we _are_
expecting changes to the ResourceProvider interface in the next few
releases, I'm calling "YAGNI" on the shadow graph support to reduce our
maintenence burden.
If we do end up wanting to use shadow graph again in future, we'll always
be able to pull it out of version control and then make whatever changes
we skipped making in the mean time, but we can avoid that cost in the
mean time while we don't have any evidence that we'll need to pay it.
Add the ValidateListUniqueStrings function, which is a ValidateFunc that
ensures a list has no duplicate items in it. It's useful for when a list
is needed over a set because order matters, yet the items still need to
be unique.
This adds a ValidateRegexp validation helper to check to see if a field
has a valid regular expression.
Includes test for good regexp, and test for bad regexp.
This is just a few editorial tweaks to the issue template.
The primary motivation here was to shorten the section about provider issues now that we're no longer in the transitional state; I suspect that this scary wall of text is dissuading people from actually reading and following the template.
Otherwise, this is just some tweaks to the wording and some adjustments for the fact that we're now not expecting provider issues here.
This escapes all characters that might have a special interpretation when embedded into a portion of a URL, including slashes, equals signs and ampersands.
Since Terraform's internals are not 8-bit clean (it assumes UTF-8
strings), we can't implement raw gzip directly. We're going to add
support where it makes sense for passing data to attributes as
base64 so that the result of this function can be used.
TestResourceProvider_stop uses a goroutine, which means that any function with *testing.T as its receiver within that goroutine will silently fail.
Now the test to accepts that an error that occurs within the goroutine is lost. It also adds some more verbose logs to explain what is happening.
We stash the locals in the module state in a map that is ignored for JSON
serialization. We don't include locals in the persisted state because they
can be trivially recomputed and this allows us to assume that they will
pass through verbatim, without any normalization or other transforms
caused by the JSON serialization.
From a user standpoint a local is just a named alias for an expression,
so it's desirable that the result passes through here in as raw a form
as possible, so it behaves as closely as possible to simply using the
given expression directly.
A local value is similar to an output in that it exists only within state
and just always evaluates its value as best it can with the current state.
Therefore it has a single graph node type for all walks, which will
deal with that evaluation operation.
