Now that we have a comprehensive JSON diagnostic structure, we can use
it in the `validate -json` output instead of the inline version. Note
that this changes the output of `validate -json` in two ways:
1. We fix some off-by-one errors caused by zero-width highlight ranges.
This aligns the JSON diagnostic output with the text output seen by
most Terraform users, so I consider this a bug fix.
2. We add the `snippet` field to the JSON diagnostics where available.
This is purely additive and is permitted under our JSON format
stability guarantees.
This commit adds a comprehensive JSON format for diagnostics, which
ensures that all current diagnostic output can be semantically
represented in a machine-readable format. The diagnostic formatter
interface remains unchanged, but it first transforms its input via the
JSON format to ensure that there is only one code path for creating the
diagnostic data.
The JSON diagnostic renderer extracts the non-presentational logic from
the format package, and returns a structure which can either be
marshaled into JSON or rendered as text. The resulting text diagnostic
output is unchanged for all cases covered by unit tests and my own
manual testing.
Included in this commit are a number of golden reference files for the
marshaled JSON output of a diagnostic. This format should change rarely
if at all, and these are in place to ensure that any changes to the
format are intentional and considered.
This PR extends jsonprovider to support attributes with NestedTypes and extends test coverage in jsonprovider and the providers schemas tests. I've also cleaned up some comments and extracted the logic to parse the nesting mode so it can be used in both marshalling blocks and attributes.
When using defaults with a value which contains null objects or tuples,
we cannot continue to traverse the value and apply defaults. Instead,
when we find an attribute which is null, we return early and stop
processing this branch.
* Add helper suggestion when failed registry err
When someone has a failed registry error on init, remind them that
they should have required_providers in every module
* Give suggestion for a provider based on reqs
Suggest another provider on a registry error, from the list of
requirements we have on init. This skips the legacy lookup
process if there is a similar provider existing in requirements.
Fixes#27506
Add a new flag `-lockfile=readonly` to `terraform init`.
It would be useful to allow us to suppress dependency lockfile changes
explicitly.
The type of the `-lockfile` flag is string rather than bool, leaving
room for future extensions to other behavior variants.
The readonly mode suppresses lockfile changes, but should verify
checksums against the information already recorded. It should conflict
with the `-upgrade` flag.
Note: In the original use-case described in #27506, I would like to
suppress adding zh hashes, but a test code here suppresses adding h1
hashes because it's easy for testing.

The provider transformers remove extra provider nodes when they are
initially setup, but it may turn out that they are not used later on.
The pruneUnusedNodesTransformer takes care of removing unused expansion
nodes, which originally required a provider, and hence may cause some
provider nodes to no longer be needed. We can also detect these and
remove them during the pruneUnusedNodesTransformer process.
Generating strings and comparing them to implement Equal is a quick and
easy solution. Unfortunately when this code is in the hot path, it
becomes very expensive, so this commit changes some of those instances
to compare the values directly.
Combined with using addr.Equal instead of checking for string equality,
this makes Terraform dramatically faster for some operations, such as
generating large JSON plans.
We allow primitive fallback values which have mismatched types, but only
if there is a conversion to the target type. Previously we would allow
unsafe conversions (e.g. string to bool), but later had no capacity to
return an error if the conversion failed due to the value of the
fallback being unable to convert to the target type.
This commit makes the more conservative requirement that default
fallback values must have a safe conversion.
The previous implementation of views was copying and embedding the base
View struct in each individual view. While this allowed for easy access
to the interface of that struct (both in the view and externally), it more
importantly completely broke the ability of the diagnostic printer to
output source code snippets.
This is because the `configSources` field on the base view is lazily set
after the config loader is initialized. In the commands ported to use
views, this happens after the base View struct is copied, so we are
updating the wrong copy of the struct.
This commit fixes this with a simple mechanical refactor: keep a pointer
to the base View struct instead, and update all of the individual views
to explicitly refer to that struct to access its fields and methods.
This is not a particularly satisfying solution, but I can't find
anything clearly better. It might be worth exploring the alternative
approach in the view for the new test command, which explicitly pulls
its dependencies out of the base view, rather than retaining a full
reference. Maybe there's a third way which is better still.
We expect that in order to continue to evolve the language without
breaking existing modules we will at some point need to have a way to mark
when a particular module is expecting a newer interpretation of the
language.
Although it's too early to do any deep preparation for that, this commit
aims to proactively reserve an argument named "language" inside
"terraform" blocks, which currently only accepts the keyword TF2021 that
is intended to represent "the edition of the Terraform language as defined
in 2021".
That argument also defaults to TF2021 if not set, so in practice there's
no real reason to set this today, but this minimal validation today is
intended to give better feedback to users of older Terraform versions in
the event that we introduce a new language edition later and they try to
use an module incompatible with their Terraform version.
Our previous message conflated the requirement for a full sentence with
the suggestion to write in a style similar to Terraform's built-in error
messages, which created a sense that the system would actively reject an
error message written in another language.
There's no intent here to block writing error messages in other languages,
but there is a practical consideration that Terraform's UI output is
currently not localized and so consistency with Terraform's other output,
if that's important to a module author, will typically mean writing the
error message in English.
