This adds supports for "unmanaged" providers, or providers with process
lifecycles not controlled by Terraform. These providers are assumed to
be started before Terraform is launched, and are assumed to shut
themselves down after Terraform has finished running.
To do this, we must update the go-plugin dependency to v1.3.0, which
added support for the "test mode" plugin serving that powers all this.
As a side-effect of not needing to manage the process lifecycle anymore,
Terraform also no longer needs to worry about the provider's binary, as
it won't be used for anything anymore. Because of this, we can disable
the init behavior that concerns itself with downloading that provider's
binary, checking its version, and otherwise managing the binary.
This is all managed on a per-provider basis, so managed providers that
Terraform downloads, starts, and stops can be used in the same commands
as unmanaged providers. The TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS environment variable
is added, and is a JSON encoding of the provider's address to the
information we need to connect to it.
This change enables two benefits: first, delve and other debuggers can
now be attached to provider server processes, and Terraform can connect.
This allows for attaching debuggers to provider processes, which before
was difficult to impossible. Second, it allows the SDK test framework to
host the provider in the same process as the test driver, while running
a production Terraform binary against the provider. This allows for Go's
built-in race detector and test coverage tooling to work as expected in
provider tests.
Unmanaged providers are expected to work in the exact same way as
managed providers, with one caveat: Terraform kills provider processes
and restarts them once per graph walk, meaning multiple times during
most Terraform CLI commands. As unmanaged providers can't be killed by
Terraform, and have no visibility into graph walks, unmanaged providers
are likely to have differences in how their global mutable state behaves
when compared to managed providers. Namely, unmanaged providers are
likely to retain global state when managed providers would have reset
it. Developers relying on global state should be aware of this.
The dependencies here are dated and are causing conflicts with the
ACME provider, namely the version of the top-level autorest package.
This explicitly updates the Azure SDK and autorest packages, with the
separately versioned sub-packages being added automatically.
Since protoc is not go-gettable, and most development tasks in Terraform
won't involve recompiling protoc files anyway, we'll use a separate
mechanism for these.
This way "go generate" only depends on things we can "go get" in the
"make tools" target.
In a later commit we should also in some way specify a particular version
of protoc to use so that we don't get "flapping" regenerations as
developers work with different versions, but the priority here is just to
make "make generate" minimally usable again to restore the dev workflow
documented in the README.
This also includes some updates that resulted from running "make generate"
and "make protobuf" after those Makefile changes were in place.
This includes a bugfix to the cty/msgpack package to ensure correct
decoding of unknown and null values.
This also includes updates to cty's dependencies.
This puts us on a version that has grpc protocol support. Although we're
not actually using that yet, the plugin has handshake changed slightly to
allow plugins to declare whether they use the old or new protocols, and
so this upgrade allows us to support plugins that were built against
newer versions of go-plugin that include this extra field in the
handshake.
This fixes#15756.
Nomad was manually updated, so revert that to the version in master,
remove it from vendor.json and add it to the ignore list.
Update all packages that were in an unknown state to their latest master
commits.
A number of PRs have come through which modified the vendor folder
without recording the proper information. This resets everything back to
the recorded version.
Previous deps merge had been captured by an older version of godep,
updating godep and rerunning...
godep save $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/)
...yielded this diff.
New `godep` also produced a warning to pin to the major Go version
instead of the minor one, which we do here as well.
