* providercache: add logging for errors from getproviders.SearchLocalDirectory
providercache.fillMetaCache() was silently swallowing errors when
searching the cache directory. This commit logs the error without
changing the behavior otherwise.
* command/cliconfig: validate plugin cache dir exists
The plugin cache directory must exist for terraform to use it, so we
will add a check at the begining.
These were being used in an earlier iteration of the provider installation
configuration but it was all collapsed down into a single
ProviderInstallationMethod type later, making these redundant.
The CLI config can be written in both native HCL and HCL JSON syntaxes, so
the provider_installation block must be expressible using JSON too. Our
previous checks to approximate HCL 2-level strictness were too strict for
HCL JSON where things are more ambiguous even in HCL 2, so this includes
some additional relaxations if we detect that we're decoding an AST
produced from a JSON file.
This is still subject to the quirky ways HCL 1 handles JSON though, so
the JSON value must be structured in a way that doesn't trigger HCL's
heuristics that try to guess what is a block and what is an attribute.
(This is the issue that HCL 2 fixes by always decoding using a schema;
there's more context on this in:
https://log.martinatkins.me/2019/04/25/hcl-json/ )
Unfortunately in the user model the noun "source" is already used for the
argument in the required_providers block to specify which provider to use,
so it's confusing to use the same noun to also refer to the method used to
obtain that provider.
In the hope of mitigating that confusion, here we use the noun "method",
as in "installation method", to talk about the decision between getting
a provider directly from its origin registry or getting it from some
mirror. This is distinct from the provider's "source", which is the
location where a provider _originates_ (prior to mirroring).
This noun is also not super awesome, but better than overloading an
existing term in the same feature.
In the first pass of implementing this it was strict about what arguments
are allowed inside source blocks, but that was counter to our usual design
principles for CLI config where we tend to ignore unrecognized things to
allow for some limited kinds of future expansion without breaking
compatibility with older versions of Terraform that will be sharing the
same CLI configuration files with newer versions.
However, I'd removed the tracking of that prior to the initial commit. I
missed some leftover parts when doing that removal, so this cleans up the
rest of it.
An earlier commit added a redundant stub for a new network mirror source
that was already previously stubbed as HTTPMirrorSource.
This commit removes the unnecessary extra stub and changes the CLI config
handling to use it instead. Along the way this also switches to using a
full base URL rather than just a hostname for the mirror, because using
the usual "Terraform-native service discovery" protocol here doesn't isn't
as useful as in the places we normally use it (the mirror mechanism is
already serving as an indirection over the registry protocol) and using
a direct base URL will make it easier to deploy an HTTP mirror under
a path prefix on an existing static file server.
When we originally introduced this environment variable it was intended to
solve for the use-case where a particular invocation of Terraform needs
a different CLI configuration than usual, such as if Terraform is being
run as part of an automated test suite or other sort of automated
situation with different needs than normal use.
However, we accidentally had it only override the original singleton CLI
config file, while leaving the CLI configuration directory still enabled.
Now we'll take the CLI configuration out of the equation too, so that only
the single specified configuration file and any other environment-sourced
settings will be included.
This new CLI config block type allows explicitly specifying where
Terraform should look to find provider plugins for installation. This is
not used anywhere as of this commit, but in a future commit we'll change
package main to treat the presence of a block of this type as a request
to disable the default set of provider sources and use these explicitly-
specified ones instead.
A more convenient interface to get a throwaway empty credentials source
for use in tests, which doesn't interact at all with the real CLI
configuration directory.
This was a leftover from the migration of these types from the main
package, but we don't actually need or want this here because this
particular detail is still handled by the main package, and because the
cliconfig package must not depend on the command package in order to avoid
an import cycle.
This new implementation is not yet used, but should eventually replace the
technique of composing together various types from the svchost/auth
package, since our requirements are now complex enough that they're more
straightforward to express in direct code within a single type than as
a composition of the building blocks in the svchost/auth package.
This is just a wholesale move of the CLI configuration types and functions
from the main package into its own package, leaving behind some type
aliases and wrappers for now to keep existing callers working.
This commit alone doesn't really achieve anything, but in future commits
we'll expand the functionality in this package.
