The presence of this field was confusing because in practice the local
backend doesn't use it for anything and the remote backend was using it
only to return an error if it's set to anything other than the default,
under the assumption that it would always match ContextOpts.Parallelism.
The "command" package is the one actually responsible for handling this
option, and it does so by placing it into the partial ContextOpts which it
passes into the backend when preparing for a local operation. To make that
clearer, here we remove Operation.Parallelism and change the few uses of
it to refer to ContextOpts.Parallelism instead, so that everyone is
reading and writing this value from the same place.
Historically, we've used TFC's default run messages as a sort of dumping
ground for metadata about the run. We've recently decided to mostly stop
doing that, in favor of:
- Only specifying the run's source in the default message.
- Letting TFC itself handle the default messages.
Today, the remote backend explicitly sets a run message, overriding
any default that TFC might set. This commit removes that explicit message
so we can allow TFC to sort it out.
This shouldn't have any bad effect on TFE out in the wild, because it's
known how to set a default message for remote backend runs since late 2018.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
