Previously we required callers to separately call .Validate on the root
module to determine if there were any value errors, but we did that
inconsistently and would thus see crashes in some cases where later code
would try to use invalid configuration as if it were valid.
Now we run .Validate automatically after config loading, returning the
resulting diagnostics. Since we return a diagnostics here, it's possible
to return both warnings and errors.
We return the loaded module even if it's invalid, so callers are free to
ignore returned errors and try to work with the config anyway, though they
will need to be defensive against invalid configuration themselves in
that case.
As a result of this, all of the commands that load configuration now need
to use diagnostic printing to signal errors. For the moment this just
allows us to return potentially-multiple config errors/warnings in full
fidelity, but also sets us up for later when more subsystems are able
to produce rich diagnostics so we can show them all together.
Finally, this commit also removes some stale, commented-out code for the
"legacy" (pre-0.8) graph implementation, which has not been available
for some time.
Update the command package to use the new module storage. Move the old
command output strings into the module storage itself. This could be
moved back later either by using ui callbacks, or designing a module
storage interface once we know what the final requirements will look
like.
Previously we were using fmt.Sprintf and thus forcing the stringification
of the wrapped error.
Using errwrap allows us to unpack the original error at the top of the
stack, which is useful when the wrapped error is really a hcl.Diagnostics
containing potentially-multiple errors and possibly warnings.
Instead of providing the a path in BackendOpts, provide a loaded
*config.Config instead. This reduces the number of places where
configuration is loaded.
