Generating strings and comparing them to implement Equal is a quick and
easy solution. Unfortunately when this code is in the hot path, it
becomes very expensive, so this commit changes some of those instances
to compare the values directly.
Combined with using addr.Equal instead of checking for string equality,
this makes Terraform dramatically faster for some operations, such as
generating large JSON plans.
We allow primitive fallback values which have mismatched types, but only
if there is a conversion to the target type. Previously we would allow
unsafe conversions (e.g. string to bool), but later had no capacity to
return an error if the conversion failed due to the value of the
fallback being unable to convert to the target type.
This commit makes the more conservative requirement that default
fallback values must have a safe conversion.
The previous implementation of views was copying and embedding the base
View struct in each individual view. While this allowed for easy access
to the interface of that struct (both in the view and externally), it more
importantly completely broke the ability of the diagnostic printer to
output source code snippets.
This is because the `configSources` field on the base view is lazily set
after the config loader is initialized. In the commands ported to use
views, this happens after the base View struct is copied, so we are
updating the wrong copy of the struct.
This commit fixes this with a simple mechanical refactor: keep a pointer
to the base View struct instead, and update all of the individual views
to explicitly refer to that struct to access its fields and methods.
This is not a particularly satisfying solution, but I can't find
anything clearly better. It might be worth exploring the alternative
approach in the view for the new test command, which explicitly pulls
its dependencies out of the base view, rather than retaining a full
reference. Maybe there's a third way which is better still.
We expect that in order to continue to evolve the language without
breaking existing modules we will at some point need to have a way to mark
when a particular module is expecting a newer interpretation of the
language.
Although it's too early to do any deep preparation for that, this commit
aims to proactively reserve an argument named "language" inside
"terraform" blocks, which currently only accepts the keyword TF2021 that
is intended to represent "the edition of the Terraform language as defined
in 2021".
That argument also defaults to TF2021 if not set, so in practice there's
no real reason to set this today, but this minimal validation today is
intended to give better feedback to users of older Terraform versions in
the event that we introduce a new language edition later and they try to
use an module incompatible with their Terraform version.
Our previous message conflated the requirement for a full sentence with
the suggestion to write in a style similar to Terraform's built-in error
messages, which created a sense that the system would actively reject an
error message written in another language.
There's no intent here to block writing error messages in other languages,
but there is a practical consideration that Terraform's UI output is
currently not localized and so consistency with Terraform's other output,
if that's important to a module author, will typically mean writing the
error message in English.
As usual, we'll continue to iterate on this based on feedback and
questions during the beta period, but this is a first draft intended to
help those who are trying out the first beta.
Catch attributes which are planed but not computed separately to provide
a clearer error to provider developers.
The error conditions were previously caught, however it was unclear from
the error text as to _why_ the change was an error. The statements about
value inequality would be incorrect when planning no changes for a value
which should not have been set in the first place.
* providers.Interface: rename ValidateDataSourceConfig to
ValidateDataResourceConfig
This PR came about after renaming ValidateResourceTypeConfig to
ValidateResourceConfig: I now understand that we'd called it the former
instead of the latter to indicate that the function wasn't necessarily
operating on a resource that actually exists. A possibly-more-accurate
renaming of both functions might then be ValidateManagedResourceConfig
and ValidateDataResourceConfig.
The next commit will update the protocol (v6 only) as well; these are in
separate commits for reviewers and will get squashed together before
merging.
* extend renaming to protov6
* Update Godoc links from godoc.org to pkg.go.dev
* Update reference to renamed GraphNodeResource interface
Ref hashicorp/terraform#24389
* Update dead links; minor formatting adjustments
* Add FIXME item following deprecation of EvalNode
Although we don't typically do configuration-level string wrangling
directly in Terraform, we delegate to several other upstream libraries
that do. These upgrades all switch to newer versions that support the
latest definitions from Unicode 13, primarily affecting operations such
as converting strings to upper/lowercase or splitting strings into
component characters (substr, reverse, etc).
The tests for the upstream libraries didn't show any regressions from
these updates, so the Unicode 13 changes seem to be backward-compatible
additions rather than significant breaking changes.
(Our go.mod file had also become non-canonical in some ways, and the Go
toolchain fixed that as part of this work, causing a few extra style-only
diffs here that shouldn't cause any change in behavior.)
Instead of returning an error with no context about unexpected
attributes or incorrect types, notify users that the schema stored in
the state does not match the current provider.
User can only encounter this error if the providers have updated their
schemas since the state was stored. This would appears when running
`terraform show -json` to display the current state, or
`terraform show -json planfile` if that plan was created with
`-refresh=false`. In either case, the state must be refreshed in order
to properly json encoded.
The auto-approve argument was part of the arguments.Operation type,
which resulted in adding a silent -auto-approve flag to plan and
refresh. This was unintended, and is fixed in this commit by moving the
flag to the arguments.Apply type and updating the downstream callers.
