* command/fmt: Document -diff doesn't disable -write
As noted in hashicorp/terraform#6343, this description misleadingly
suggested that the `-diff` option disables the `-write` option.
This isn't the case and because of the default options (described in
c753390) the behaviour of `terraform fmt -diff` is actually the same as
`terraform fmt -write -list -diff`.
Replace the "instead of rewriting" description to clarify that.
Documentation in hcl/fmtcmd is corrected in hashicorp/hcl#117 but it's not
really necessary to bump the dependency version.
* command/fmt: Show flag defaults in help text
These were documented on the website but not in the `-help` text. This
should help to clarify that you need to pass `-list=false -write=false
-diff` if you only want to see diffs.
Accordingly I've replaced the word "disabled" with "always false" in the
STDIN special cases so that it matches the terminology used in the defaults
and better indicates that it is overridden.
NB: The 3x duplicated defaults and documentation makes me feel uneasy once
again. I'm not sure how to solve that, though.
These options don't make sense when passing STDIN. `-write` will raise an
error because there is no file to write to. `-list` will always say
`<standard input>`. So disable whenever using STDIN, making the command
much simpler:
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -
So that you can do automatic formatting from an editor. You probably want to
disable the `-write` and `-list` options so that you just get the
re-formatted content, e.g.
cat main.tf | terraform fmt -write=false -list=false -
I've added a non-exported field called `input` so that we can override this
for the tests. If not specified, like in `commands.go`, then it will default
to `os.Stdin` which works on the command line.
The most common usage usage will be enabling the `-write` and `-list`
options so that files are updated in place and a list of any modified files
is printed. This matches the default behaviour of `go fmt` (not `gofmt`). So
enable these options by default.
This does mean that you will have to explicitly disable these if you want to
generate valid patches, e.g. `terraform fmt -diff -write=false -list=false`
This uses the `fmtcmd` package which has recently been merged into HCL. Per
the usage text, this rewrites Terraform config files to their canonical
formatting and style.
Some notes about the implementation for this initial commit:
- all of the fmtcmd options are exposed as CLI flags
- it operates on all files that have a `.tf` suffix
- it currently only operates on the working directory and doesn't accept a
directory argument, but I'll extend this in subsequent commits
- output is proxied through `cli.UiWriter` so that we write in the same way
as other commands and we can capture the output during tests
- the test uses a very simple fixture just to ensure that it is working
correctly end-to-end; the fmtcmd package has more exhaustive tests
- we have to write the fixture to a file in a temporary directory because it
will be modified and for this reason it was easier to define the fixture
contents as a raw string
This means that terraform commands like `plan`, `apply`, `show`, and
`graph` will expand all modules by default.
While modules-as-black-boxes is still very true in the conceptual design
of modules, feedback on this behavior has consistently suggested that
users would prefer to see more verbose output by default.
The `-module-depth` flag and env var are retained to allow output to be
optionally limited / summarized by these commands.
* Update init docs to be correct, and provide an example.
* Update remote config docs to provide more details about the Consul
backend and to provide another example.
When you specify `-verbose` you'll get the whole graph of operations,
which gives a better idea of the operations terraform performs and in
what order.
The DOT graph is now generated with a small internal library instead of
simple string building. This allows us to ensure the graph generation is
as consistent as possible, among other benefits.
We set `newrank = true` in the graph, which I've found does just as good
a job organizing things visually as manually attempting to rank the nodes
based on depth.
This also fixes `-module-depth`, which was broken post-AST refector.
Modules are now expanded into subgraphs with labels and borders. We
have yet to regain the plan graphing functionality, so I removed that
from the docs for now.
Finally, if `-draw-cycles` is added, extra colored edges will be drawn
to indicate the path of any cycles detected in the graph.
A notable implementation change included here is that
{Reverse,}DepthFirstWalk has been made deterministic. (Before it was
dependent on `map` ordering.) This turned out to be unnecessary to gain
determinism in the final DOT-level implementation, but it seemed
a desirable enough of a property that I left it in.
