Whereas the parent directory "states" contains the models that represent
state in memory, this package's responsibility is in serializing a subset
of that data to a JSON-based file format and then reloading that data
back into memory later.
For reading, this package supports state file formats going back to
version 1, using lightly-adapted versions of the migration code previously
used in the "terraform" package. State data is upgraded to the latest
version step by step and then transformed into the in-memory state
representation, which is distinct from any of the file format structs in
this package to enable these to evolve separately.
For writing, only the latest version (4) is supported, which is a new
format that is a slightly-flattened version of the new in-memory state
models introduced in the prior commit. This format retains the outputs
from only the root module and it flattens out the module and instance
parts of the hierarchy by including the identifiers for these inside
the child object. The loader then reconstructs the multi-layer structure
we use for more convenient access in memory.
For now, the only testing in this package is of round-tripping different
versions of state through a read and a write, ensuring the output is
as desired. This exercises all of the reading, upgrading, and writing
functions but should be augmented in later commits to improve coverage
and introduce more focused tests for specific parts of the functionality.
Our previous state models in the "terraform" package had a few limitations
that are addressed here:
- Instance attributes were stored as map[string]string with dot-separated
keys representing traversals through a data structure. Now that we have
a full type system, it's preferable to store it as a real data
structure.
- The existing state structures skipped over the "resource" concept and
went straight to resource instance, requiring heuristics to decide
whether a particular resource should appear as a single object or as
a list of objects when used in configuration expressions.
- Related to the previous point, the state models also used incorrect
terminology where "ResourceState" was really a resource instance state
and "InstanceState" was really the state of a particular remote object
associated with an instance. These new models use the correct names for
each of these, introducing the idea of a "ResourceInstanceObject" as
the local record of a remote object associated with an instance.
This is a first pass at fleshing out a new model for state. Undoubtedly
there will be further iterations of this as we work on integrating these
new models into the "terraform" package.
These new model types no longer serve double-duty as a description of the
JSON state file format, since they are for in-memory use only. A
subsequent commit will introduce a separate package that deals with
persisting state to files and reloading those files later.
Our main "parse" methods in this package work with hcl.Traversals, but
we're gradually adding helpers to parse these directly froms strings since
the visual noise of doing the traversal parse first is inconvenient in
situations where addresses are coming from non-config locations where
no source information is available anyway.
In the heirarchy, both "Terraform Language" and "Functions" are "up" from
the individual function reference pages, so we'll class them as such to
use the back-facing arrow instead of the forward-facing arrow.
I updated the "Variables" map incorrectly in earlier commit 10fe50bbdb
while making bulk updates to get the tests compiling again with the
changed underlying APIs.
The original value here was "bar", incorrectly changed to "foo" in that
commit. Here we return it back to "bar".
We only support provider input for the root module. This is already
checked in ProviderInput, but was not checked in SetProviderInput. We
can't actually do anything particularly clever with an invalid call here,
but we will at least generate a WARN log to help with debugging.
Also need to update TestBuiltinEvalContextProviderInput to expect this
new behavior of ignoring input for non-root modules.
The prior commit changed the schema-access model so that all schemas are
fetched up front during context creation and are then readily available
for use throughout graph building and evaluation.
As a result, we no longer need to create dependency edges to a provider
when one of its resources is referenced by another node, and so the
ProviderTransformer needs only to worry about direct ownership
dependencies.
This also avoids the need for us to run AttachSchemaTransformer twice,
since ProviderTransformer no longer needs schema and we can therefore
defer attaching until just before ReferenceTransformer, when all of the
referencable and referencing nodes are already present in the graph.
We now fetch all of the necessary schemas during context creation, so we
can just thread that repository of schemas through into EvalContext and
Evaluator and access the schemas as needed without any further fetching.
This requires updating a few tests to have a valid Provider address in
their state objects, because we need that in order to trigger the loading
of the relevant schema.
This test depends on having a correct schema, so we'll specify the minimum
schema for its fixture inline here rather than using the superset schema
returned by testProvider.
Provider input is now longer handled with a graph walk, so the code
related to the input graph and walk are no longer needed.
For now the Input method is retained on the ResourceProvider interface,
but it will never be called. Subsequent work to revamp the provider API
will remove this method.
Add a graphNodeAttachDestroy interface, so destroy nodes can be attached
to their companion create node. The creator can then reference the
CreateBeforeDestroy status of the destroyer, determining if the current
state needs to be replaced or deposed.
This is needed when a node is forced to become CreateBeforeDestroy by a
dependency rather than the config, since because the config is
immutable, only the destroyer is aware that it has been forced
CreateBeforeDestroy.
The earlier change 5f07201a made it so that the state is always rewritten
by EvalDiffDestroy, but that was too disruptive to other users of
EvalDiffDestroy.
Now we follow the lead of EvalDiff and have a separate pointer for the
_output_ state, which allows the caller to opt in to having its state
pointer updated to reflect the new (nil) state.
NodePlannableResourceInstanceOrphan is the only caller that currently opts
in to this, since that was the focus of 5f07201a. We may need to make a
similar change to other plannable resource destroy nodes, but we'll wait
to see if that needs to be done in a subsequent commit.
The TestApplyGraphBuilder_doubleCBD fixture was updated incorrectly with
a cycle in the desired output. The test matches one the expected string
is fixed.
Now that core has access to the provider configuration schema, our input
logic can be implemented entirely within Context.Input, removing the need
to execute a full graph walk to gather input.
This commit replaces the graph walk call with instead just visiting the
provider configurations (explicit and implied) in the root module, using
the schema to prompt.
The code to manage the input graph walk is not yet removed by this commit,
and will be cleaned up in a subsequent commit once we've made sure there
aren't any other callers/tests depending on parts of it.
It was incorrect to use a type switch to detect the optional schema
attachment interfaces, because they are not mutually-exclusive: resource
nodes implement both GraphNodeAttachResourceSchema and
GraphNodeAttachProvisionerSchema.
This fixes a number of test regressions around dependency analysis in
"provisioner" blocks.
In #14526 we fixed a sticky edge-case where a resource with count = 0 set
won't create its containing module state on apply, and thus when another
expression refers to it we need to deal with that absense.
The original bug fixed by #14526 was actually a nil dereference panic in
this case. Our new HCL2-oriented expression evaluation codepath was, on
the other hand, correctly checking for the nil, but was not taking the
correct action in response to it, leading to the result being an
unexpected unknown value.
Here we replicate the fix to #14526 by behaving as if there are just no
instances present in this case. We achieve this in a slightly different
way here by just creating an empty ModuleState, but the effect is the
same as #14526.
This fixes TestContext2Apply_multiVarMissingState.
While we're planning we must always update the state with the proposed new
data resulting from the plan. In this case, we must record that the
orphan instance doesn't exist at all in the proposed new state by storing
its state as nil.
This in turn allows references to the containing resource to evaluate
properly, using the new updated resource count. This fixes
TestContext2Apply_multiVarCountDec.
This also includes a number of changes to the test output of
TestContext2Apply_multiVarCountDec that make it easier to debug failures.
Both ProviderTransformer and ReferenceTransformer need schema information,
and so there's a chicken-and-egg problem here where previously the schemas
were not getting attached to provider nodes created during
ProviderTransformer.
As a stop-gap measure for now we'll just run AttachSchemaTransformer
twice, so we can catch any new nodes created during the provider
transforms.
Previously we fetched schemas during the AttachSchemaTransformer,
potentially multiple times as that was re-run for each graph built. Now
we fetch the schemas just once during context construction, passing that
result into each of the graph builders.
This only addresses the schema accesses during graph construction. We're
still separately loading schemas during the main walk for evaluation
purposes. This will be addressed in a later commit.
An aliased provider should not be automatically inherited, nor
implicitly instantiated in a module. This test should not have
previously passed.
Add a proxy provider block to the module and update the provider to
match the schema.
The state after EvalReadDataDiff is no longer nil during plan, which
means that we can't use that as a proxy for requiring the diff.
Rather than exiting early to save the EvalWriteState and EvalWriteDiff
evaluations, continue normally regardless to ensure we have the latest
diff and state after the plan. This also aligns the data data source
handling with that of the managed resource.
The Provider field in ResourceState is now required, whereas before it
could be omitted and have Terraform try to discover a fitting provider
configuration automatically.
The automatic behavior was a compatibility shim added in v0.11 to support
states from prior versions without an explicit migration, but for v0.12
we will have a migration to our new state format anyway and so we will
fix this up during that migration pass.
