When a TFC workspace is configured without a VCS root, and with a
working directory, and a user is running `terraform init` from that same
directory, TFC uploads the entire configuration directory, not only the
user's cwd. This is not obvious to the user, so we are adding a descriptive
message explaining what is being uploaded, and why.
* backend/enhanced: start with absolute config path
We recently started normalizing the config path before all "command"
operations, which was necessary for consistency but had unexpected
consequences for remote backend operations, specifically when a vcs root
with a working directory are configured.
This PR de-normalizes the path back to an absolute path.
* Check the error and add a test
It turned out all required logic was already present, so I just needed to add a test for this specific use case.
Support for cross-domain authentication has been added and mapping
environment variables to the correct domain settings has been
fixed.
In addition, support for clouds.yaml files has been added.
This unusual situation isn't supposed to arise in normal use, but it can
come up in practice in some edge-case scenarios where Terraform fails in
a severe way during a create_before_destroy.
Some earlier versions of Terraform also had bugs in their handling of
deposed objects, so this may also arise if upgrading from one of those
older versions with some leftover deposed objects in the state.
When changes are made and we failed to upload the state, we should not
try to unlock the workspace. Leaving the workspace locked is a good
indication something went wrong and also prevents other changes from
being applied before the newest state is properly uploaded.
Additionally we now output the lock ID when a lock or force-unlock
action failed.
When failing to write the state, the local backend writes the state to a local file called `errrored.tfstate`. Previously it would do so by creating a new state file which would use a new serial and lineage. By exorting the existing state file and directly assigning the new state, the serial and lineage are preserved.
For users who in previous versions have relied on our lack of checking for
whether variables are declared, they may previously have seen an
overwhelming number of warnings when running Terraform v0.12.
Here we cap that number at three specific warnings and then one general
warning, so we can still give a specific source location for the first
couple (for users who have genuinely made a typo) but summarize away a
large number for those who are seeing this because they've not yet
migrated to using environment variables.
