If the user specifies a host that isn't a provider registry in a provider
source address then we'll print out some specialized error messages for
different variants of that situation.
In particular, this includes a special case for when the error is on the
hostname "github.com", in anticipation of folks incorrectly attempting to
use GitHub repository URLs (or Go-style module paths that happen to be
on GitHub) to specify providers, so we can give a more specific hint about
that.
This is just a different presentation of an existing error case that we
are already covering in the installer tests, so there are no new tests
here. We could in principle have a test covering the exact text of these
error messages, but we don't have much precedent for command package tests
covering that level of cosmetic detail.
For Terraform v0.12 we introduced a special loading mode where we would
use the 0.11-syntax-compatible "earlyconfig" package as a heuristic to
identify situations where it was likely that the user was trying to use
0.11-only syntax that the upgrade tool might help with.
However, as the language has moved on that is no longer a suitable
heuristic in Terraform 0.13 and later: other new additions to the
language can cause the main loader to disagree with earlyconfig, which
would lead us to give poor advice about how to respond.
Instead, we'll now return the same generic "there are errors" message in
all syntax error cases. We have an extra message for errors in this
case (as compared to other commands) because "terraform init" is usually
the first command a new user interacts with and so this message gives some
extra explanation about what "terraform init" will do with the
configuration once it's valid.
This also includes a reset control character in the output of the message
as part of our ongoing mission to stop Terraform printing out whole
paragraphs of colored text, which can often be hard to read for various
reasons.
* command/init: return an error with invalid -backend-config files
The -backend-config flag expects a set of key-value pairs or a file
containing key-value pairs. If the file instead contains a full backend
configuration block, it was silently ignored. This commit adds a check
for blocks in the file and returns an error if they are encountered.
Fixes#24845
* emphasize backend configuration file in docs
* internal/getproviders: decode and return any registry warnings
The public registry may include a list of warnings in the "versions"
response for any given provider. This PR adds support for warnings from
the registry and an installer event to return those warnings to the
user.
When using `-flag=value` with Powershell, unquoted values are broken
into separate arguments. This means that the following command:
terraform init -backend-config=./backend.conf
is interpreted by Terraform as:
terraform init -backend-config= ./backend.conf
This results in an empty backend-config setting (which is semantically
valid!) followed by a custom configuration path (pointing at a file).
Due to a bug where we could exit without printing diagnostics, this
would result in a silent failure that was very difficult to diagnose.
When initializing a configuration which refers to re-namespaced legacy
providers, we attempt to detect this and display a diagnostic message.
Previously this message would direct the user to run the 0.13upgrade
command, but without specifying in which directories.
This commit detects which modules are using the providers in question,
and for local modules displays a list of upgrade commands which specify
the source directories of these modules.
For remote modules, we display a separate list noting that they need to
be upgraded elsewhere, providing both the local module call name and the
module source address.
Fetching a default namespace provider from the public registry can
result in 404 Not Found error. This might be caused by a previously-
default provider moving to a new namespace, which means that the
configuration needs to be upgraded to use an explicit provider source.
This commit adds a more detailed diagnostic for this situation,
suggesting that the intended provider might be in a new namespace. The
recommended course of action is to run the 0.13upgrade command to
generate the correct required_providers configuration.
Relying on the early config for provider requirements was necessary in
Terraform 0.12, to allow the 0.12upgrade command to run after init
installs providers.
However in 0.13, the same restrictions do not apply, and the detection
of provider requirements has changed. As a result, the early config
loader gives incorrect provider requirements in some circumstances,
such as those in the new test in this commit.
Therefore we are changing the init command to use the requirements found
by the full configuration loader. This also means that we can remove the
internal initwd CheckCoreVersionRequirements function.
provider is not found.
Previously a user would see the following error even if terraform was
only searching the local filesystem:
"provider registry registry.terraform.io does not have a provider named
...."
This PR adds a registry-specific error type and modifies the MultiSource
installer to check for registry errors. It will return the
registry-specific error message if there is one, but if not the error
message will list all locations searched.
Previously the diagnostics from the config loaders (earlyconfig and
regular) were only appended to the overall diags if an error was found.
This adds all diagnostics from the regular config loader so that any
generated warnings will be displayed, even if there are no errors.
I did not add the `earlyconfig` warnings since they will be displayed if
there is an error and are likely to be duplicated by the config loader.
* internal/registry source: return error if requested provider version protocols are not supported
* getproviders: move responsibility for protocol compatibility checks into the registry client
The original implementation had the providercache checking the provider
metadata for protocol compatibility, but this is only relevant for the
registry source so it made more sense to move the logic into
getproviders.
This also addresses an issue where we were pulling the metadata for
every provider version until we found one that was supported. I've
extended the registry client to unmarshal the protocols in
`ProviderVersions` so we can filter through that list, instead of
pulling each version's metadata.
Providers installed from the registry are accompanied by a list of
checksums (the "SHA256SUMS" file), which is cryptographically signed to
allow package authentication. The process of verifying this has multiple
steps:
- First we must verify that the SHA256 hash of the package archive
matches the expected hash. This could be done for local installations
too, in the future.
- Next we ensure that the expected hash returned as part of the registry
API response matches an entry in the checksum list.
- Finally we verify the cryptographic signature of the checksum list,
using the public keys provided by the registry.
Each of these steps is implemented as a separate PackageAuthentication
type. The local archive installation mechanism uses only the archive
checksum authenticator, and the HTTP installation uses all three in the
order given.
The package authentication system now also returns a result value, which
is used by command/init to display the result of the authentication
process.
There are three tiers of signature, each of which is presented
differently to the user:
- Signatures from the embedded HashiCorp public key indicate that the
provider is officially supported by HashiCorp;
- If the signing key is not from HashiCorp, it may have an associated
trust signature, which indicates that the provider is from one of
HashiCorp's trusted partners;
- Otherwise, if the signature is valid, this is a community provider.
When a provider dependency is implicit rather than explicit, or otherwise
when version constraints are lacking, we produce a warning recommending
the addition of explicit version constraints in the configuration.
This restores the warning functionality from previous Terraform versions,
adapting it slightly to account for the new provider FQN syntax and to
recommend using a required_providers block rather than version constraints
in "provider" blocks, because the latter is no longer recommended in the
documentation.
The provider fully-qualified name string used in configuration is very
long, and since most providers are hosted in the public registry, most
of that length is redundant. This commit adds and uses a `ForDisplay`
method, which simplifies the presentation of provider FQNs.
If the hostname is the default hostname, we now display only the
namespace and type. This is only used in UI, but should still be
unambiguous, as it matches the FQN string parsing behaviour.
Built-in providers are special providers that are distributed as part of
Terraform CLI itself, rather than being installed separately. They always
live in the terraform.io/builtin/... namespace so it's easier to see that
they are special, and currently there is only one built-in provider named
"terraform".
Previous commits established the addressing scheme for built-in providers.
This commit makes the installer aware of them to the extent that it knows
not to try to install them the usual way and it's able to report an error
if the user requests a built-in provider that doesn't exist or tries to
impose a particular version constraint for a built-in provider.
For the moment the tests for this are the ones in the "command" package
because that's where the existing testing infrastructure for this
functionality lives. A later commit should add some more focused unit
tests here in the internal/providercache package, too.
This is a slightly different approach than we used to take for this
option: rather than disabling the installer and causing all future
commands to look elsewhere for plugins, we'll now leave the installer
enabled by constrain it to only look at the given directories.
This is overall simpler because it doesn't require any special tracking
of the plugin directories for subsequent commands. Instead, the selections
file generated by the installer will record the versions it selected from
the specified directories, and we'll link them in to the local cache just
as we would normally so that other commands don't need to do anything
special to select the right plugins in either case.
Back when we first introduced provider versioning in Terraform 0.10, we
did the provider version resolution in terraform.NewContext because we
weren't sure yet how exactly our versioning model was going to play out
(whether different versions could be selected per provider configuration,
for example) and because we were building around the limitations of our
existing filesystem-based plugin discovery model.
However, the new installer codepath is new able to do all of the
selections up front during installation, so we don't need such a heavy
inversion of control abstraction to get this done: the command package can
select the exact provider versions and pass their factories directly
to terraform.NewContext as a simple static map.
The result of this commit is that CLI commands other than "init" are now
able to consume the local cache directory and selections produced by the
installation process in "terraform init", passing all of the selected
providers down to the terraform.NewContext function for use in
implementing the main operations.
This commit is just enough to get the providers passing into the
terraform.Context. There's still plenty more to do here, including to
repair all of the tests this change has additionally broken.
There's still a lot of work to do here around both the UX and the
follow-up steps that need to happen after installation completes, but this
is enough to faciliate some initial end-to-end testing of the new-style
install process.
missingPlugins was hard-coded to work only with provider plugins, so I
renamed it to clarify the usage.
Also renamed a test provider from greater_than to greater-than as the
underscore is an invalid provider name character and this will become a
hard error in the near future.
Our initial Terraform 0.13.0 release will continue to support only the
hard-coded official HashiCorp signing key, with support for other keys to
follow in a later release once the trust infrastructure is in place to
support that.
This change is intended to (marginally) improve the UX for a possible
future situation where a HashiCorp-distributed provider makes a released
signed with a new key and a prior version of Terraform ends up trying to
install it due to incorrect version constraints. With this new text we
hope to give the user a better prompt for onward troubleshooting, but
in a sort of hedging way because we have not yet finalized the details of
how new keys might roll out in practice.
Hopefully a user seeing this message would consult the release notes for
Terraform itself and for the provider in question and find some
as-yet-undetermined information about how to proceed.
If the decentralized trust model design comes together before the v0.13.0
release then we may make further amendments here to prepare for that, but
that work should not block the v0.13.0 release if other work concludes
first.
* command: use backend config from state when backend=false is used.
When a user runs `terraform init --backend=false`, terraform should
inspect the state for a previously-configured backend, and use that
backend, ignoring any backend config in the current configuration. If no
backend is configured or there is no state, return a local backend.
Fixes#16593
* terraform/context: use new addrs.Provider as map key in provider factories
* added NewLegacyProviderType and LegacyString funcs to make it explicit that these are temporary placeholders
This PR introduces a new concept, provider fully-qualified name (FQN), encapsulated by the `addrs.Provider` struct.
Previously we were using the experimental HCL 2 repository, but now we'll
shift over to the v2 import path within the main HCL repository as part of
actually releasing HCL 2.0 as stable.
This is a mechanical search/replace to the new import paths. It also
switches to the v2.0.0 release of HCL, which includes some new code that
Terraform didn't previously have but should not change any behavior that
matters for Terraform's purposes.
For the moment the experimental HCL2 repository is still an indirect
dependency via terraform-config-inspect, so it remains in our go.sum and
vendor directories for the moment. Because terraform-config-inspect uses
a much smaller subset of the HCL2 functionality, this does still manage
to prune the vendor directory a little. A subsequent release of
terraform-config-inspect should allow us to completely remove that old
repository in a future commit.
* command/init: omit a warning if -backend-config is used with no backend
block
Terraform would silently accept - and swallow - `-backend-config` on the
CLI when there was no `backend` block. Since it is mostly expected to
override existing backend configuration, terraform
should omit a warning if there is no backend configuration to
override.
If the user intended to override the default (local) backend
configuration, they can first add a `backend` block to the `terraform` block to silence the warning (or just ignore it):
```hcl
terraform {
backend "local" {}
}
```
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.
If the registry is unresponsive, you will now get an error
specific to this, rather than a misleading "provider unavailable" type
error. Also adds debug logging for when errors like this may occur
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
There are a few constructs from 0.11 and prior that cause 0.12 parsing to
fail altogether, which previously created a chicken/egg problem because
we need to install the providers in order to run "terraform 0.12upgrade"
and thus fix the problem.
This changes "terraform init" to use the new "early configuration" loader
for module and provider installation. This is built on the more permissive
parser in the terraform-config-inspect package, and so it allows us to
read out the top-level blocks from the configuration while accepting
legacy HCL syntax.
In the long run this will let us do version compatibility detection before
attempting a "real" config load, giving us better error messages for any
future syntax additions, but in the short term the key thing is that it
allows us to install the dependencies even if the configuration isn't
fully valid.
Because backend init still requires full configuration, this introduces a
new mode of terraform init where it detects heuristically if it seems like
we need to do a configuration upgrade and does a partial init if so,
before finally directing the user to run "terraform 0.12upgrade" before
running any other commands.
The heuristic here is based on two assumptions:
- If the "early" loader finds no errors but the normal loader does, the
configuration is likely to be valid for Terraform 0.11 but not 0.12.
- If there's already a version constraint in the configuration that
excludes Terraform versions prior to v0.12 then the configuration is
probably _already_ upgraded and so it's just a normal syntax error,
even if the early loader didn't detect it.
Once the upgrade process is removed in 0.13.0 (users will be required to
go stepwise 0.11 -> 0.12 -> 0.13 to upgrade after that), some of this can
be simplified to remove that special mode, but the idea of doing the
dependency version checks against the liberal parser will remain valuable
to increase our chances of reporting version-based incompatibilities
rather than syntax errors as we add new features in future.
