Based on some common questions and feedback since the v0.12.0 release,
here we add some small additional content to the documentation for
"dynamic" blocks, covering how to access the keys of the collection being
iterated over and how to fold multiple collections into a single one to
achieve the effect of a nested iteration.
* command/show: marshal the state snapshot from the planfile
The planfile contains a state snapshot with certain resources updated
(outputs and datasources). Previously `terraform show -json PLANFILE`
was using the current state instead of the state inside the plan as
intended.
This caused an issue when the state included a terraform_remote_state
datasource. The datasource's state gets refreshed - and therefore
upgraded to the current state version - during plan, but that won't
persist to state until apply.
* update comment to reflect new return
These follow the same principle as jsondecode and jsonencode, but use
YAML instead of JSON.
YAML has a much more complex information model than JSON, so we can only
support a subset of it during decoding, but hopefully the subset supported
here is a useful one.
Because there are many different ways to _generate_ YAML, the yamlencode
function is forced to make some decisions, and those decisions are likely
to affect compatibility with other real-world YAML parsers. Although the
format here is intended to be generic and compatible, we may find that
there are problems with it that'll we'll want to adjust for in a future
release, so yamlencode is therefore marked as experimental for now until
the underlying library is ready to commit to ongoing byte-for-byte
compatibility in serialization.
The main use-case here is met by yamldecode, which will allow reading in
files written in YAML format by humans for use in Terraform modules, in
situations where a higher-level input format than direct Terraform
language declarations is helpful.
This module contains a YAML parser and encoder tailored to cty, though we
are mostly interested in it for its YAMLEncode and YAMLDecode cty
functions, which we can make available in Terraform.
This is similar to the function of the same name in Python, generating a
sequence of numbers as a list that can then be used in other
sequence-oriented operations.
The primary use-case for it is to turn a count expressed as a number into
a list of that length, which can then be iterated over or passed to a
collection function to produce that number of something else, as shown
in the example at the end of its documentation page.
This unusual situation isn't supposed to arise in normal use, but it can
come up in practice in some edge-case scenarios where Terraform fails in
a severe way during a create_before_destroy.
Some earlier versions of Terraform also had bugs in their handling of
deposed objects, so this may also arise if upgrading from one of those
older versions with some leftover deposed objects in the state.
Added higher-level test for matchkeys to exercise mixing
types in searchset. This had to be in the functions tests so the HCL
auto conversion from tuple to list would occur.
Send Private data blob through ReadResource as well. This will allow for
extra flexibility for future providers that may want to pass data out of
band through to their resource Read functions.
Private data was previously created during Plan, and sent back to the
provider during Apply. This data also needs to be persisteded accross
Read calls, but rather than rely on core for that we can send the data
to the provider during Read to allow for more flexibilty.
`matchkeys` was returning a (false) error if the searchset was a
variable, since then the type of the keylist and searchset parameters
would not match.
This does slightly change the behavior: previously matchkeys would
produce an error if the parameters were not of the same type, for e.g.
if searchset was a list of strings and keylist was a list of integers.
This no longer produces an error.
In the unlikely event that a moduleCall has a nil config - for example,
if a nested module call includes a variable with a typo in an
attribute - continue gracefully.
This is an unusual edge case in the category of "probably should not happen", caused by
#21568
Previously, adding a version constraint to a module that was previously
recorded without a version in the module manifest would cause a panic.
Instead, we now use a slight variant of the "dependencies have changed"
error that doesn't try to print out a specific version number.
This was already working, but since that codepath is separate from the
go-getter install codepath it's helpful to have a separate test for it,
in addition to the existing one for go-getter modules.
In the unlikely event that a moduleCall has a nil config - for example,
if a nested module call includes a variable with a typo in an
attribute - continue gracefully.
* command/show -json: fix panic
afterUnknown should return only bools, not values.
* command/jsonplan: let's delete some redundant code!
the plan output was somewhat inconsistent with return values for
"after_unknown". This strives to fix that. If all "after" values are
known, return an empty object instead of iterating over values.
Also fixing some typos and general copypasta.
The config is statically validated early on for structural issues, but
the provider can't validate any inputs that were unknown at the time.
Run ValidateResourceTypeConfig during Plan, so that the provider can
validate the final config values, including those interpolated from
other resources.
Using az login and then terraform init from the command line I got `Error: Either an Access Key / SAS Token or the Resource Group for the Storage Account must be specified`
If a dynamic block is evaluated zero times, the body content will
contain 0 blocks. Allow the probe for ConfigModeAttr to accept that no
blocks with a matching attribute should still be converted to a block if
they are called with dynamicExpand.
There is currently no way to unset -backend-config during init, since
not setting that option assumes the user will use the saved config.
Allow setting `-backend-config=""` to specify no overrides.
This Vagrantfile hasn't been maintained for a long time and no longer
produces a correct and functioning development environment for Terraform.
Terraform's development environment is a pretty standard Go development
environment, so a custom VM setup for development is overkill. Maintaining
the Makefile and other similar dev environment helpers is already overhead
enough, and having this stale Vagrantfile here was occasionally causing
folks to try to use it and get frustrated that it didn't work.
The omitUnknowns and unknownAsBool functions were previously trying hard
to preserve the same collection types in the output as they had in the
input, by attempting to keep everything matched up so that the results
would be valid.
Unfortunately, this turns out to be a harder problem than we originally
thought: it was possible for a collection value going in to produce
inconsistent element types out (and thus a panic) in the following
situations:
- when a collection with mixed known and unknown values was passed in
to omitUnknowns.
- when a collection of collections where the inner collections are a
mixture of empty and not empty in unknownAsNull.
The results of these functions are only used to marshal to JSON anyway,
and JSON serialization can't distinguish between the three sequence types
or the two mapping types, so in practice we can just standardize on
converting all sequences to tuple and all mappings to object here and not
change the resulting output at all, and then we don't have to worry about
making sure all of the inner types get preserved exactly.
A nice consequence of that relaxation is that we can now do what we
originally wanted to do with unknownAsBool, and omit map keys and
object attributes altogether if their values would've been false,
producing a much more compact result. This is easiest to do now when
there's only one known user of this JSON plan output, and we know that
user will treat both false and omitted as the same here.
* core: don't panic in NodeAbstractResourceInstance References()
It is possible for s.Current to be nil. This was hard to reproduce, so
the root cause is still unknown, but we can guard against the symptom.
* add log statement
