Add `terraform debug json2dot` to convert debug log graphs to dot
format. This is not meant to be in place of more advanced debug
visualization, but may continue to be a useful way to work with the
debug output.
This encodes vertex debug information into the graph log when a vertex
is visited during a walk operation. These can ordered to show how the
Graph was walked.
Add a mutex to the encoder so it can be used during a parallel walk.
Moved string literal constants used for marshaling to pre-defined constants.
Did some renaming to make the marshal* structures more consistent.
The method marks the start of a set of operations on the Graph, with
extra information optionally provided in the second paramter. This
returns a function with a single End method to mark the end of the set
in the logs.
Refactor the existing graph Begin/End Operation calls to use this single
method. Remove the *string types in the marshal structs, these are
strictly informational and don't need to differentiate empty vs unset
strings.
Add calls to DebugOperation for each step while building the graph.
The AnnotateVertex and AnnotateEdge Graph methods will allow terraform
to insert arbitray information into the encoded graph stream for later
processing.
The external api provided here is simply
dag.Graph.SetDebugWriter(io.Writer). When a writer is provided to a
Graph, it will immediately encode itself to the stream, and subsequently
encode any additional transformations to the graph. This will allow
easier logging of graph transformations without writing complete graphs
to the logs at every step. Since the marshalGraph can also be dot
encoded, this will allow translation from the JSON logs to dot graphs.
To maintain the same output, the Graph.Dot implementation needs to be
aware of GraphNodeDotter. Copy the interface into the dag package, and
make the Dot marshaler aware of which nodes implemented the interface.
This way we can remove most of the remaining dot code from terraform.
The dot format generation was done with a mix of code from the terraform
package and the dot package. Unify the dot generation code, and it into
the dag package.
Use an intermediate structure to allow a dag.Graph to marshal itself
directly. This structure will be ablt to marshal directly to JSON, or be
translated to dot format. This was we can record more information about
the graph in the debug logs, and provide a way to translate those logged
structures to dot, which is convenient for viewing the graphs.
