This e2etest runs an init, plan, apply, destroy sequence against a test
configuration using the real template and null providers downloaded from
the official repository.
This test _does_ trample a bit on the scope of some already-existing
tests, but this is mainly just to check our assumptions about how
Terraform behaves to ensure that we can reach our main conclusion here:
that the main Terraform workflow commands interact correctly with each
other in real use and we can complete the full workflow.
We already have good tests for the business logic around provider
installation, but the existing tests all stub out the main repository
server. This test completes that coverage by verifying that the installer
is able to run against the real repository and install an official release
of the template provider.
This basic test is here primarily because it's one of the few that can
run without reaching out to external services, and so it means our usual
test runs will catch situations where the main executable build is
somehow broken.
The version command itself is not very interesting to test, but it's
convenient in that its behavior is very predictable and self-contained.
Previously we had no automated testing of whether we can produce a
Terraform executable that actually works. Our various functional tests
have good coverage of specific Terraform features and whole operations,
but we lacked end-to-end testing of actual usage of the generated binary,
without any stubbing.
This package is intended as a vehicle for such end-to-end testing. When
run normally under "go test" it will produce a build of the main Terraform
binary and make it available for tests to execute. The harness exposes
a flag for whether tests are allowed to reach out to external network
services, controlled with our standard TF_ACC environment variable, so
that basic local tests can be safely run as part of "make test" while
more elaborate tests can be run easily when desired.
It also provides a separate mode of operation where the included script
make-archive.sh can be used to produce a self-contained test archive that
can be copied to another system to run the tests there. This is intended
to allow testing of cross-compiled binaries, by shipping them over to
the target OS and architecture to run without requiring a full Go compiler
installation on the target system.
The goal here is not to test again functionality that's already
well-covered by our existing tests, but rather to test chains of normal
operations against the build binary that are not otherwise tested
together.
The improved err scanner loop in meta causes these to race. There's no
need to write back to the same commands struct, so just use a new
instance in each iteration.
Meta.process was relying on the system readdir to order the arguments,
but readdir doesn't guarantee any ordering. Read the directory contents
as a whole and sort them in place before adding the tfvars files.
Previously the APIs for state persistence and management had some problematic cases where we depended on hidden mutations of the state structure as side-effects of otherwise-innocent-looking operations, which was a frequent cause of accidental regressions due to faulty assumptions.
This new model attempts to isolate certain state mutations to just within the state managers, and makes the state managers work on separated snapshots of the state rather than on the "live" object to reduce the risk of race conditions.
Due to how the state filter machinery works, passing no arguments is valid
and matches _all_ resources.
It is very unlikely that someone wants to remove everything from state, so
this ends up being a very dangerous default for the "terraform state rm"
command, and surprising for someone who perhaps runs it looking for the
usage information.
So we'll be pragmatic here and reject the no-arguments case for this
command, accepting that it makes the unlikely case of intentionally
deleting all resources harder in order to make it less likely that it
will happen _unintentionally_.
If someone does really want to remove all resources from the state, they
can provide an explicit empty string argument, but this isn't documented
because it's a weird case that doesn't seem worth mentioning.
This fixes#15283.
The state returned from the testState helper shouldn't rely on any
mutations caused by WriteState. The Init function (which is analogous to
NewState) shoudl set any required fields.
This command serves as an alternative to the human-oriented list of workspaces for scripting use-cases where it's useful to know the _current_ workspace name.
Previously we relied on a constellation of coincidences for everything to
work out correctly with state serials. In particular, callers needed to
be very careful about mutating states (or not) because many different bits
of code shared pointers to the same objects.
Here we move to a model where all of the state managers always use
distinct instances of state, copied when WriteState is called. This means
that they are truly a snapshot of the state as it was at that call, even
if the caller goes on mutating the state that was passed.
We also adjust the handling of serials so that the state managers ignore
any serials in incoming states and instead just treat each Persist as
the next version after what was most recently Refreshed.
(An exception exists for when nothing has been refreshed, e.g. because
we are writing a state to a location for the first time. In that case
we _do_ trust the caller, since the given state is either a new state
or it's a copy of something we're migrating from elsewhere with its
state and lineage intact.)
The intent here is to allow the rest of Terraform to not worry about
serials and state identity, and instead just treat the state as a mutable
structure. We'll just snapshot it occasionally, when WriteState is called,
and deal with serials _only_ at persist time.
This is intended as a more robust version of #15423, which was a quick
hotfix to an issue that resulted from our previous slopping handling
of state serials but arguably makes the problem worse by depending on
an additional coincidental behavior of the local backend's apply
implementation.
Skips checksum validation if the `TF_SKIP_PROVIDER_VERIFY` environment variable is set. Undocumented variable, as the primary goal is to significantly improve the local provider development workflow.
We need to release the lock just before deleting the state, in case the backend
can't remove the resource while holding the lock. This is currently true for
Windows local files.
TODO: While there is little safety in locking while deleting the state, it
might be nice to be able to coordinate processes around state deletion, i.e. in
a CI environment. Adding Delete() as a required method of States would allow
the removal of the resource to be delegated from the Backend to the State
itself.
A common reason to want to use `terraform plan` is to have a chance to
review and confirm a plan before running it. If in fact that is the
only reason you are running plan, this new `terraform apply -auto-approve=false`
flag provides an easier alternative to
P=$(mktemp -t plan)
terraform refresh
terraform plan -refresh=false -out=$P
terraform apply $P
rm $P
The flag defaults to true for now, but in a future version of Terraform it will
default to false.
The import command wasn't loading the full plugin path for discovery.
Run a basic plugin init sequence, and verify we can find a plugin (even
though the plugin is invalid and will fail).
The import command wasn't loading the plugin path at all, relying on the
local directory for binaries.
Load the plugin dir into Meta, and pass in ForceLocal for consistency.
The Backend returned was going to be a Local anyway, so the added check
wasn't ensuring anything.
The "confirm" method was directly checking the meta struct's input field,
but that only represents the -input command line flag, and doesn't
respect the TF_INPUT environment variable.
By calling the Input method instead, we check both.
This fixes#15338.
When using a `state` command, if the `-state` flag is provided we do not
want to modify the Backend state. In this case we should always create a
local state instance.
The backup flag was also being ignored, and some tests were relying on
that, which have been fixed.
If we provide a -state flag to a state command, we do not want terraform
to modify the backend state. This test fails since the state specified
in the backend doesn't exist
Remove "checksum" from the error, and only indicate that the plugin has
changed.
Always show requested versions even if it's "any", and found versions of
plugins.
This change makes various minor adjustments to the rendering of plans
in the output of "terraform plan":
- Resources are identified using the standard resource address syntax,
rather than exposing the legacy internal representation used in the
module diff resource keys. This fixes#8713.
- Subjectively, having square brackets in the addresses made it look more
visually "off" when the same name but with different indices were
shown together with differing-length "symbols", so the symbols are now
all padded and right-aligned to three characters for consistent layout
across all operations.
- The -/+ action is now more visually distinct, using several different
colors to help communicate what it will do and including a more obvious
"(new resource required)" marker to help draw attention to this not
being just an update diff. This fixes#15350.
- The resources are now sorted in a manner that sorts index [10] after
index [9], rather than after index [1] as we did before. This makes it
easier to scan the list and avoids the common confusion where it seems
that there are only 10 items when in fact there are 11-20 items with
all the tens hiding further up in the list.
Previously init would crash if given these options:
-backend=false -get-plugins=true
This is because the state is used as a source of provider dependency
information, and we need to instantiate the backend to get the state.
To avoid the crash, we now use the following adjusted behavior:
- if -backend=true, we behave as before
- if -backend=false, we instead try to instantiate the backend the same
way any other command would, without modifying its configuration
- if we're able to instantiate the backend, we use it to fetch state
for dependency resolution purposes
- if the backend is not instantiable then we assume it's not yet
configured and proceed with a nil state, which may cause us to see an
incomplete picture of the dependencies but still allows the install
to succeed. Subsequently running "terraform plan" will not work until
the backend is (re-)initialized, so the incomplete picture of required
plugins is safe.
This takes care of a few dangling cases where we were still stringifying
empty version constraints, which creates confusing error messages due to
it stringing as the empty string.
For the "no suitable versions available" message, we fall back on the
"provider not found" message if no versions were found even though it's
unconstrained. This should only happen in an edge case where the
provider's index page exists on the releases server but no versions are
yet present.
For the message about plugin protocol versions, this again is an edge
case since with no constraints this should happen only if we release
an incompatible Terraform version but don't release a new version of the
plugin that's compatible. In this case we just show the constraint as
"(any version)" to make sure we always show _something_.
Previously we only did this when _upgrading_, but that's unnecessarily
specific and confusing since e.g. plugins can get upgraded implicitly by
constraint changes, which would not then trigger the purge process.
Instead, we'll assume that the user is able to easily re-download plugins
that were purged here, or if they need more specific guarantees they will
manage manually a plugin directory and disable the auto-install behavior
using `-plugin-dir`.
Now we are able to recognize and handle a few special error situations
from plugin installation with more verbose error messages that give the
user better feedback on how to proceed.
The -plugin-dir option lets the user specify custom search paths for
plugins. This overrides all other plugin search paths, and prevents the
auto-installation of plugins.
We also make sure that the availability of plugins is always checked
during init, even if -get-plugins=false or -plugin-dir is set.
