* 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
In earlier versions of Terraform the result of terraform state show was
in the pre-0.12 "flatmap" structure that was unable to reflect nested
data structures. That was fixed in Terraform 0.12, but as a consequence
this statement about the output being machine-parseable (which was
debateable even in older versions) is incorrect.
Fortunately, we now have "terraform show -json" to get output that is
intentionally machine-parseable, so we'll recommend to use that instead
here. The JSON output of that command is a superset of what's produced by
"terraform state show", so should be usable to meet any use-case that
might previously have been met by parsing the "terraform state show"
output.
In an earlier change we switched to defining our own sets of detectors,
getters, etc for go-getter in order to insulate us from upstream changes
to those sets that might otherwise change the user-visible behavior of
Terraform's module installer.
However, we apparently neglected to actually refer to our local set of
detectors, and continued to refer to the upstream set. Here we catch up
with the latest detectors from upstream (taken from the version of
go-getter we currently have vendored) and start using that fixed set.
Currently we are maintaining these custom go-getter sets in two places
due to the configload vs. initwd distinction. That was already true for
goGetterGetters and goGetterDecompressors, and so I've preserved that for
now just to keep this change relatively simple; in later change it would
be nice to factor these "get with go getter" functions out into a shared
location which we can call from both configload and initwd.
Clear any Dependencies if there is an entry matching a `state mv` from
address. While stale dependencies won't directly effect any current
operations, clearing the list will allow them to be recreated in their
entirety during refresh. This will help future releases that may rely
solely on the pre-calculated dependencies for destruction ordering.
This is a "should never happen" case, but we have reports of it actually
happening. In order to try to collect a bit more data about what's going
on here, we're changing what was previously a hard panic into a normal
error message that can include the address of the instance we were working
on and the action we were trying to do to it at the time.
The hope is to narrow down what situations can trigger this in order to
find a reliable reproduction case in order to debug further. This also
means that for those who _do_ encounter this problem in the meantime
Terraform will have a chance to shut down cleanly and therefore be more
likely to be able to recover on a subsequent plan/apply cycle.
Further investigation of this will follow once we see a report or two of
this updated error message.
Since a planned destroy can no longer indicate it is a full destroy,
unused values were being left in the apply graph for evaluation. If
these values contains interpolations that can fail, (for example, a
zipmap with mismatched list sizes), it will cause the apply to abort.
The PrunUnusedValuesTransformer was only previously run during destroy,
more out of conservatism than for any other particular reason. Adapt it
to always remove unused values from the graph, with the exception being
the root module outputs, which must be retained when we don't have a
clear indication that a full destroy is being executed.
The resource cleanup node does not need a provider. We can't directly
remove the ProvidedBy method, but this node only needs to be eval-able
so we can remove all the NodeAbstractResource methods at once.
This also includes an upgrade to cty v1.1.1 because HCL calls for it.
The changes in these two libraries are mainly to codepaths that don't
directly affect Terraform, but including this upgrade will cause some
small improvements to Terraform's error messages for type conversion
problems.
References from a resource-level connection blocks were not returned
from NodeAbstractResource.References, causing the provisioner connection
attributes to sometimes be evaluated too early.
If there is an error when opening the session for agent forwarding in
the process ssh connention, there is a deadlock when recursively
calling Connect on an internal reattempt. Avoid that, and let the
connection be reattempted externally.
Right now, the only environment variable available is the same
environment variable that will be picked up by the GCP provider. Users
would like to be able to store state in separate projects or accounts or
otherwise authenticate to the provider with a service account that
doesn't have access to the state. This seems like a reasonable enough
practice to me, and the solution seems straightforward--offer an
environment variable that doesn't mean anything to the provider to
configure the backend credentials. I've added GOOGLE_BACKEND_CREDENTIALS
to manage just the backend credentials, and documented it appropriately.
It's a common source of errors to try to produce JSON or YAML syntax
using string concatenation via our template language but to miss some
details like correct string escaping, quoting, required commas, etc.
The jsonencode and yamlencode functions are a better way to generate JSON
and YAML, but it's not immediately obvious that both of these functions
are available for use in external templates (via templatefile) too.
Given that questions related to this come up a lot in our community forum
and elsewhere, it seems worth having a documentation section to show the
pattern of having a template that consists only of a single function call.
* configs: move ProviderConfigCompact[Str] from addrs to configs
The configs package is aware of provider name and type (which are the
same thing today, but expected to be two different things in a future
release), and should be the source of truth for a provider config
address. This is an intermediate step; the next step will change the returned types to something based in the configs package.
* command: rename choosePlugins to chooseProviders to clarify scope of function
* use `Provider.LegacyString()` (instead of `Provider.Type`) consistently
* explicitly create legacy-style provider (continuing from above change)
