For AWS Route53 zones the ID is not the domain name, it is the Zone ID.
When I took your "If you're unsure, feel free to just try an ID." advice to heart I figured it out pretty quickly, but still, getting it right the first time would be nice.
Minor grammar and style edits.
Also updated Consul example to not use `demo.consul.io` - seems like a bad idea to hard-code something folks might cut-n-paste to a host that's public. Principle of least risk, etc.
This commit adds the `state rm` command for removing an address from
state. It is the result of a rebase from pull-request #5953 which was
lost at some point during the Terraform 0.7 feature branch merges.
This commit removes the ability to index into complex output types using
`terraform output a_list 1` (for example), and adds a `-json` flag to
the `terraform output` command, such that the output can be piped
through a post-processor such as jq or json. This removes the need to
allow arbitrary traversal of nested structures.
It also adds tests of human readable ("normal") output with nested lists
and maps, and of the new JSON output.
This introduces the terraform state list command to list the resources
within a state. This is the first of many state management commands to
come into 0.7.
This is the first command of many to come that is considered a
"plumbing" command within Terraform (see "plumbing vs porcelain":
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/what-are-plumbing-and-porcelain-td2190639.html).
As such, this PR also introduces a bunch of groundwork to support
plumbing commands.
The main changes:
- Main command output is changed to split "common" and "uncommon"
commands.
- mitchellh/cli is updated to support nested subcommands, since
terraform state list is a nested subcommand.
- terraform.StateFilter is introduced as a way in core to filter/search
the state files. This is very basic currently but I expect to make it
more advanced as time goes on.
- terraform state list command is introduced to list resources in a
state. This can take a series of arguments to filter this down.
Known issues, or things that aren't done in this PR on purpose:
- Unit tests for terraform state list are on the way. Unit tests for the
core changes are all there.

* command/fmt: Document -diff doesn't disable -write
As noted in hashicorp/terraform#6343, this description misleadingly
suggested that the `-diff` option disables the `-write` option.
This isn't the case and because of the default options (described in
c753390) the behaviour of `terraform fmt -diff` is actually the same as
`terraform fmt -write -list -diff`.
Replace the "instead of rewriting" description to clarify that.
Documentation in hcl/fmtcmd is corrected in hashicorp/hcl#117 but it's not
really necessary to bump the dependency version.
* command/fmt: Show flag defaults in help text
These were documented on the website but not in the `-help` text. This
should help to clarify that you need to pass `-list=false -write=false
-diff` if you only want to see diffs.
Accordingly I've replaced the word "disabled" with "always false" in the
STDIN special cases so that it matches the terminology used in the defaults
and better indicates that it is overridden.
NB: The 3x duplicated defaults and documentation makes me feel uneasy once
again. I'm not sure how to solve that, though.
These options don't make sense when passing STDIN. `-write` will raise an
error because there is no file to write to. `-list` will always say
`<standard input>`. So disable whenever using STDIN, making the command
much simpler:
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -
So that you can do automatic formatting from an editor. You probably want to
disable the `-write` and `-list` options so that you just get the
re-formatted content, e.g.
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -write=false -list=false -
I've added a non-exported field called `input` so that we can override this
for the tests. If not specified, like in `commands.go`, then it will default
to `os.Stdin` which works on the command line.
The most common usage usage will be enabling the `-write` and `-list`
options so that files are updated in place and a list of any modified files
is printed. This matches the default behaviour of `go fmt` (not `gofmt`). So
enable these options by default.
This does mean that you will have to explicitly disable these if you want to
generate valid patches, e.g. `terraform fmt -diff -write=false -list=false`
This uses the `fmtcmd` package which has recently been merged into HCL. Per
the usage text, this rewrites Terraform config files to their canonical
formatting and style.
Some notes about the implementation for this initial commit:
- all of the fmtcmd options are exposed as CLI flags
- it operates on all files that have a `.tf` suffix
- it currently only operates on the working directory and doesn't accept a
directory argument, but I'll extend this in subsequent commits
- output is proxied through `cli.UiWriter` so that we write in the same way
as other commands and we can capture the output during tests
- the test uses a very simple fixture just to ensure that it is working
correctly end-to-end; the fmtcmd package has more exhaustive tests
- we have to write the fixture to a file in a temporary directory because it
will be modified and for this reason it was easier to define the fixture
contents as a raw string
This means that terraform commands like `plan`, `apply`, `show`, and
`graph` will expand all modules by default.
While modules-as-black-boxes is still very true in the conceptual design
of modules, feedback on this behavior has consistently suggested that
users would prefer to see more verbose output by default.
The `-module-depth` flag and env var are retained to allow output to be
optionally limited / summarized by these commands.
* Update init docs to be correct, and provide an example.
* Update remote config docs to provide more details about the Consul
backend and to provide another example.
