* internal/getproviders: decode and return any registry warnings
The public registry may include a list of warnings in the "versions"
response for any given provider. This PR adds support for warnings from
the registry and an installer event to return those warnings to the
user.
This new command is intended to make it easy to create or update a mirror
directory containing suitable providers for the current configuration,
producing a layout that is appropriate both for a filesystem mirror or,
if copied into the document root of an HTTP server, a network mirror.
This initial version is not customizable aside from being able to select
multiple platforms to install packages for.
Future iterations of this could include commands to turn the JSON index
generation on and off, or to instruct it to produce the unpacked directory
layout instead of the packed directory layout as it currently does. Both
of those options would make the generated directory unsuitable to be
a network mirror, but it would still work as a filesystem mirror.
In the long run this will hopefully form part of a replacement workflow to
terraform-bundle as a way to put copies of providers somewhere so we don't
need to re-download them every time, but some other changes will be needed
outside of just this command before that'd be true, such as adding support
for network and/or filesystem mirrors in Terraform Enterprise.
Fetching a default namespace provider from the public registry can
result in 404 Not Found error. This might be caused by a previously-
default provider moving to a new namespace, which means that the
configuration needs to be upgraded to use an explicit provider source.
This commit adds a more detailed diagnostic for this situation,
suggesting that the intended provider might be in a new namespace. The
recommended course of action is to run the 0.13upgrade command to
generate the correct required_providers configuration.
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.
This exercises the ability to customize the installation methods used by
the provider plugin installer, in this case forcing the use of a custom
local directory with a result essentially the same as what happens when
you pass -plugin-dir to "terraform init".
This more closely replicates the 0.12-and-earlier behavior, where having
at least one version of a provider installed locally would totally disable
any attempt to look for newer versions remotely.
This is just for the implicit default behavior. Assumption is that later
we'll have an explicit configuration mechanism that will allow the user
to specify exactly where to look for what, and thus avoid tricky
heuristics like this.
This restores some of the local search directories we used to include when
searching for provider plugins in Terraform 0.12 and earlier. The
directory structures we are expecting in these are different than before,
so existing directory contents will not be compatible without
restructuring, but we need to retain support for these local directories
so that users can continue to sideload third-party provider plugins until
the explicit, first-class provider mirrors configuration (in CLI config)
is implemented, at which point users will be able to override these to
whatever directories they want.
This also includes some new search directories that are specific to the
operating system where Terraform is running, following the documented
layout conventions of that platform. In particular, this follows the
XDG Base Directory specification on Unix systems, which has been a
somewhat-common request to better support "sideloading" of packages via
standard Linux distribution package managers and other similar mechanisms.
While it isn't strictly necessary to add that now, it seems ideal to do
all of the changes to our search directory layout at once so that our
documentation about this can cleanly distinguish "0.12 and earlier" vs.
"0.13 and later", rather than having to document a complex sequence of
smaller changes.
Because this behavior is a result of the integration of package main with
package command, this behavior is verified using an e2etest rather than
a unit test. That test, TestInitProvidersVendored, is also fixed here to
create a suitable directory structure for the platform where the test is
being run. This fixes TestInitProvidersVendored.
In the new design the ProviderSource is decided by package main, not by
the "command" package, and so making sure the vendor directory is included
is the responsibility of that package instead. Therefore we can no longer
test this at the "command" package level, but we'll retain a test for it
in e2etests to record that it isn't currently working, so that we have
a prompt to fix it before releasing.
Due to some incomplete rework of this function in an earlier commit, the
safety check for using the same directory as both the target and the
cache was inverted and was raising an error _unless_ they matched, rather
than _if_ they matched.
This change is verified by the e2etest TestInitProviders_pluginCache,
which is also updated to use the new-style cache directory layout as part
of this commit.
These tests make assertions against specific user-oriented output from the
"terraform init" command, but we've intentionally changed some of these
messages as part of introducing support for the decentralized provider
namespace.
The canonical location of the "template" provider is now in the hashicorp
namespace rather than the terraform-providers namespace, so the output
has changed to reflect that.
* internal/initwd: Allow deprecated relative module paths
In Terraform 0.11 we deprecated this form but didn't have any explicit
warning for it. Now we'll still accept it but generate a warning. In a
future major release we will drop this form altogether, since it is
ambiguous with registry module source addresses.
This codepath is covered by the command/e2etest suite.
* e2e: Skip copying .exists file, if present
We use this only in the "empty" test fixture in order to let git know that
the directory exists. We need to skip copying it so that we can test
"terraform init -from-module=...", which expects to find an empty
directory.
* command/e2etests: Re-enable and fix up the e2etest "acctests"
We disabled all of the tests that accessed remote services like the
Terraform Registry while they were being updated to support the new
protocols we now expect. With those services now in place, we can
re-enable these tests.
Some details of exactly what output we print, etc, have intentionally
changed since these tests were last updated.
* e2e: refactor for modern states and plans
* command/e2etest: re-enable e2etests and update for tf 0.12 compatibility
plugin/discovery: mkdirAll instead of mkdir when creating cache dir
Several of these tests rely on external services (e.g. Terraform Registry)
that have not yet been updated to support the needs of Terraform v0.12.0,
so for now we'll skip all of these tests and wait until those systems have
been updated.
This should be removed before Terraform v0.12.0 final to enable these
tests to be used as part of pre-release smoke testing.
Since an early version of Terraform, the `destroy` command has always
had the `-force` flag to allow an auto approval of the interactive
prompt. 0.11 introduced `-auto-approve` as default to `false` when using
the `apply` command.
The `-auto-approve` flag was introduced to reduce ambiguity of it's
function, but the `-force` flag was never updated for a destroy.
People often use wrappers when automating commands in Terraform, and the
inconsistency between `apply` and `destroy` means that additional logic
must be added to the wrappers to do similar functions. Both commands are
more or less able to run with similar syntax, and also heavily share
their code.
This commit updates the command in `destroy` to use the `-auto-approve` flag
making working with the Terraform CLI a more consistent experience.
We leave in `-force` in `destroy` for the time-being and flag it as
deprecated to ensure a safe switchover period.
As part of the 0.10 core/provider split we moved this provider, along with
all the others, out into its own repository.
In retrospect, the "terraform" provider doesn't really make sense to be
separated since it's just a thin wrapper around some core code anyway,
and so re-integrating it into core avoids the confusion that results when
Terraform Core and the terraform provider have inconsistent versions of
the backend code and dependencies.
There is no good reason to use a different version of the backend code
in the provider than in core, so this new "internal provider" mechanism
is stricter than the old one: it's not possible to use an external build
of this provider at all, and version constraints for it are rejected as
a result.
This provider is also run in-process rather than in a child process, since
again it's just a very thin wrapper around code that's already running
in Terraform core anyway, and so the process barrier between the two does
not create enough advantage to warrant the additional complexity.
In the 0.10 release we added an opt-in mode where Terraform would prompt
interactively for confirmation during apply. We made this opt-in to give
those who wrap Terraform in automation some time to update their scripts
to explicitly opt out of this behavior where appropriate.
Here we switch the default so that a "terraform apply" with no arguments
will -- if it computes a non-empty diff -- display the diff and wait for
the user to type "yes" in similar vein to the "terraform destroy" command.
This makes the commonly-used "terraform apply" a safe workflow for
interactive use, so "terraform plan" is now mainly for use in automation
where a separate planning step is used. The apply command remains
non-interactive when given an explicit plan file.
The previous behavior -- though not recommended -- can be obtained by
explicitly setting the -auto-approve option on the apply command line,
and indeed that is how all of the tests are updated here so that they can
continue to run non-interactively.
We encourage users to share the "terraform version" output as part of
filing an issue, but previously it only printed the core Terraform version
and this left provider maintainers with no information about which
_provider_ version an issue relates to.
Here we make a best effort to show versions for providers, though we will
omit some or all of them if either "terraform init" hasn't been run (and
so no providers were selected yet) or if there are other inconsistencies
that would cause Terraform to object on startup and require a re-run of
"terraform init".
Two different errors here caused this test to pass even though it was
incorrect: the wanted version string was incorrect, but the test for it
was also inverted, and so together this made the test pass even though
it was actually not testing the output at all.
This is a tough one to unit tests because the behavior is tangled up in
the code that hits releases.hashicorp.com, so we'll add this e2etest as
some extra insurance that this works end-to-end.
Since we now have a guide that recommends some specific ways to run
Terraform in automation, we can mimic those suggestions in an e2e test and
thus ensure they keep working.
Here we test the three different approaches suggested in the guide:
- init, plan, apply (main case)
- init, apply (e.g. for deploying to a QA/staging environment)
- init, plan (e.g. for verifying a pull request)
In 6712192724 we stopped counting data
source destroys in the destroy tally since they are an implementation
detail.
This caused this test to start failing, though since the new behavior is
correct here we just update the test to match.
Go 1.9 adds this new function which, when called, marks the caller as
being a "helper function". Helper function stack frames are then skipped
when trying to find a line of test code to blame for a test failure, so
that the code in the main test function appears in the test failure output
rather than a line within the helper function itself.
This covers many -- but probaly not all -- of our test helpers across
various packages.
This e2etest runs an init, plan, apply, destroy sequence against a test
configuration using the real template and null providers downloaded from
the official repository.
This test _does_ trample a bit on the scope of some already-existing
tests, but this is mainly just to check our assumptions about how
Terraform behaves to ensure that we can reach our main conclusion here:
that the main Terraform workflow commands interact correctly with each
other in real use and we can complete the full workflow.
We already have good tests for the business logic around provider
installation, but the existing tests all stub out the main repository
server. This test completes that coverage by verifying that the installer
is able to run against the real repository and install an official release
of the template provider.
This basic test is here primarily because it's one of the few that can
run without reaching out to external services, and so it means our usual
test runs will catch situations where the main executable build is
somehow broken.
The version command itself is not very interesting to test, but it's
convenient in that its behavior is very predictable and self-contained.
Previously we had no automated testing of whether we can produce a
Terraform executable that actually works. Our various functional tests
have good coverage of specific Terraform features and whole operations,
but we lacked end-to-end testing of actual usage of the generated binary,
without any stubbing.
This package is intended as a vehicle for such end-to-end testing. When
run normally under "go test" it will produce a build of the main Terraform
binary and make it available for tests to execute. The harness exposes
a flag for whether tests are allowed to reach out to external network
services, controlled with our standard TF_ACC environment variable, so
that basic local tests can be safely run as part of "make test" while
more elaborate tests can be run easily when desired.
It also provides a separate mode of operation where the included script
make-archive.sh can be used to produce a self-contained test archive that
can be copied to another system to run the tests there. This is intended
to allow testing of cross-compiled binaries, by shipping them over to
the target OS and architecture to run without requiring a full Go compiler
installation on the target system.
The goal here is not to test again functionality that's already
well-covered by our existing tests, but rather to test chains of normal
operations against the build binary that are not otherwise tested
together.
