The `-force-copy` option will suppress confirmation for copying state
data.
Modify some tests to use the option, making sure to leave coverage of
the Input code path.
This augments backend-config to also accept key=value pairs.
This should make Terraform easier to script rather than having to
generate a JSON file.
You must still specify the backend type as a minimal amount in
configurations, example:
```
terraform { backend "consul" {} }
```
This is required because Terraform needs to be able to detect the
_absense_ of that value for unsetting, if that is necessary at some
point.
We need to initialize the backend even if the config has no backend set.
This allows `init` to work when unsetting a previously set backend.
Without this, there was no way to unset a backend.
Terraform 0.7 introduces lists and maps as first-class values for
variables, in addition to string values which were previously available.
However, there was previously no way to override the default value of a
list or map, and the functionality for overriding specific map keys was
broken.
Using the environment variable method for setting variable values, there
was previously no way to give a variable a value of a list or map. These
now support HCL for individual values - specifying:
TF_VAR_test='["Hello", "World"]'
will set the variable `test` to a two-element list containing "Hello"
and "World". Specifying
TF_VAR_test_map='{"Hello = "World", "Foo" = "bar"}'
will set the variable `test_map` to a two-element map with keys "Hello"
and "Foo", and values "World" and "bar" respectively.
The same logic is applied to `-var` flags, and the file parsed by
`-var-files` ("autoVariables").
Note that care must be taken to not run into shell expansion for `-var-`
flags and environment variables.
We also merge map keys where appropriate. The override syntax has
changed (to be noted in CHANGELOG as a breaking change), so several
tests needed their syntax updating from the old `amis.us-east-1 =
"newValue"` style to `amis = "{ "us-east-1" = "newValue"}"` style as
defined in TF-002.
In order to continue supporting the `-var "foo=bar"` type of variable
flag (which is not valid HCL), a special case error is checked after HCL
parsing fails, and the old code path runs instead.
