Any command using meta.defaultFlagSet *might* occasionally exit before
the flag package's output got written. This caused flag error messages
to get lost. This PR discards the flag package output in favor of
directly returning the error to the end user.
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.
So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.
Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
For the moment this is just a lightly-adapted copy of
ModuleTreeDependencies named ConfigTreeDependencies, with the goal that
the two can live concurrently for the moment while not all callers are yet
updated and then we can drop ModuleTreeDependencies and its helper
functions altogether in a later commit.
This can then be used to make "terraform init" and "terraform providers"
work properly with the HCL2-powered configuration loader.
This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.
A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.
Previously we required callers to separately call .Validate on the root
module to determine if there were any value errors, but we did that
inconsistently and would thus see crashes in some cases where later code
would try to use invalid configuration as if it were valid.
Now we run .Validate automatically after config loading, returning the
resulting diagnostics. Since we return a diagnostics here, it's possible
to return both warnings and errors.
We return the loaded module even if it's invalid, so callers are free to
ignore returned errors and try to work with the config anyway, though they
will need to be defensive against invalid configuration themselves in
that case.
As a result of this, all of the commands that load configuration now need
to use diagnostic printing to signal errors. For the moment this just
allows us to return potentially-multiple config errors/warnings in full
fidelity, but also sets us up for later when more subsystems are able
to produce rich diagnostics so we can show them all together.
Finally, this commit also removes some stale, commented-out code for the
"legacy" (pre-0.8) graph implementation, which has not been available
for some time.
Validation is the best time to return detailed diagnostics
to the user since we're much more likely to have source
location information, etc than we are in later operations.
This change doesn't actually add any detail to the messages
yet, but it changes the interface so that we can gradually
introduce more detailed diagnostics over time.
While here there are some minor adjustments to some of the
messages to improve their consistency with terminology we
use elsewhere.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Instead of providing the a path in BackendOpts, provide a loaded
*config.Config instead. This reduces the number of places where
configuration is loaded.
This new command prints out the tree of modules annotated with their
associated required providers.
The purpose of this command is to help users answer questions such as
"why is this provider required?", "why is Terraform using an older version
of this provider?", and "what combination of modules is creating an
impossible provider version situation?"
For configurations using many modules this sort of question is likely to
come up a lot once we support versioned providers.
As a bonus use-case, this command also shows explicitly when a provider
configuration is being inherited from a parent module, to help users to
understand where the configuration is coming from for each module when
some child modules provide their own provider configurations.
