a large refactor to addrs.AbsProviderConfig, embedding the addrs.Provider instead of a Type string. I've added and updated tests, added some Legacy functions to support older state formats and shims, and added a normalization step when reading v4 (current) state files (not the added tests under states/statefile/roundtrip which work with both current and legacy-style AbsProviderConfig strings).
The remaining 'fixme' and 'todo' comments are mostly going to be addressed in a subsequent PR and involve looking up a given local provider config's FQN. This is fine for now as we are only working with default assumption.
* Introduce "Local" terminology for non-absolute provider config addresses
In a future change AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig are going to
become two entirely distinct types, rather than Abs embedding Local as
written here. This naming change is in preparation for that subsequent
work, which will also include introducing a new "ProviderConfig" type
that is an interface that AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig both
implement.
This is intended to be largely just a naming change to get started, so
we can deal with all of the messy renaming. However, this did also require
a slight change in modeling where the Resource.DefaultProviderConfig
method has become Resource.DefaultProvider returning a Provider address
directly, because this method doesn't have enough information to construct
a true and accurate LocalProviderConfig -- it would need to refer to the
configuration to know what this module is calling the provider it has
selected.
In order to leave a trail to follow for subsequent work, all of the
changes here are intended to ensure that remaining work will become
obvious via compile-time errors when all of the following changes happen:
- The concept of "legacy" provider addresses is removed from the addrs
package, including removing addrs.NewLegacyProvider and
addrs.Provider.LegacyString.
- addrs.AbsProviderConfig stops having addrs.LocalProviderConfig embedded
in it and has an addrs.Provider and a string alias directly instead.
- The provider-schema-handling parts of Terraform core are updated to
work with addrs.Provider to identify providers, rather than legacy
strings.
In particular, there are still several codepaths here making legacy
provider address assumptions (in order to limit the scope of this change)
but I've made sure each one is doing something that relies on at least
one of the above changes not having been made yet.
* addrs: ProviderConfig interface
In a (very) few special situations in the main "terraform" package we need
to make runtime decisions about whether a provider config is absolute
or local.
We currently do that by exploiting the fact that AbsProviderConfig has
LocalProviderConfig nested inside of it and so in the local case we can
just ignore the wrapping AbsProviderConfig and use the embedded value.
In a future change we'll be moving away from that embedding and making
these two types distinct in order to represent that mapping between them
requires consulting a lookup table in the configuration, and so here we
introduce a new interface type ProviderConfig that can represent either
AbsProviderConfig or LocalProviderConfig decided dynamically at runtime.
This also includes the Config.ResolveAbsProviderAddr method that will
eventually be responsible for that local-to-absolute translation, so
that callers with access to the configuration can normalize to an
addrs.AbsProviderConfig given a non-nil addrs.ProviderConfig. That's
currently unused because existing callers are still relying on the
simplistic structural transform, but we'll switch them over in a later
commit.
* rename LocalType to LocalName

The configs package is aware of provider name and type (which are the
same thing today, but expected to be two different things in a future
release), and should be the source of truth for a provider config
address.
There are a few situations that we've seen arise quite commonly for folks
upgrading from Terraform 0.11 to 0.12. These particular problems are not
things that Terraform 0.12 can fix automatically during upgrading, but
we can at least give some better feedback to users that they ought to be
addressed _before_ upgrading.
The provider address problem is already detected and flagged by the
"terraform 0.11checklist" command that folks should run as part of their
upgrade process, but the module address problem is not something we
noticed was lacking validation in 0.11 and so the checklist tool doesn't
cover it. Due to the lack of coverage in the checklist tool, this commit
also includes an additional section in the upgrade guide that mentions
the problem and gives instructions on how to address it.
The state refactoring command "terraform state mv" in Terraform 0.11 does
not update existing dependency addresses recorded in the state when it
moves objects around, and Terraform only updates the dependency addresses
in the state when it performs a full update on a resource instance, and
so it's a common problem for folks updating from Terraform 0.11 with
resource names that are not valid identifiers to run into state upgrade
errors even though they have followed the instructions produced by
"terraform 0.12checklist".
Dependencies are synced from config during every refresh walk anyway, so
in practice we can get away with just discarding invalid dependency
addresses and letting the refresh walk update them. In practice these
addresses are unlikely to be pointing at a resource that actually exists
anyway, because if so Terraform 0.12's configuration parser wouldn't be
able to interpret it.
Discarding invalid dependency addresses allows the state upgrade to
complete successfully in such cases and thus gives the refresh step an
opportunity to repair the problem.
Some of our errors returned here were lacking context about what part of
the file was problematic, which led to some useless error reporting for
some real-world situations that this upgrade process doesn't seem to be
catching.
Here we add additional context to those error cases, as a step towards
tracking down exactly which upgrade cases are missing here so that we can
potentially fix them in a subsequent release.
After all of the refactoring we were no longer checking the Terraform
version field in a state file, causing this test to fail.
This restores that check, though with a slightly different error message.
For historical reasons sometimes we have nil state in situations where
we'd still like to persist state snapshots to a store. To make life easier
for those callers, we'll substitute an empty state if we are given a nil
one, thus allowing us to still generate a valid serialization that will
load back in as an empty state.
We're going to allow the provider to encode whatever it wants in here, so
a provider can use whatever is most convenient for its implementation
language and to avoid some of the bugs we saw with the prior model where
the forced round-trip through JSON and back into interface{} would cause
some loss of fidelity, leading to bugs.
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
The types here were originally written to allow us to defer decoding of
object values until schemas are available, but it turns out that this was
forcing us to defer decoding longer than necessary and potentially decode
the same value multiple times.
To avoid this, we create pairs of types to represent the encoded and
decoded versions and methods for moving between them. These types are
identical to one another apart from how the dynamic values are
represented.
Whereas the parent directory "states" contains the models that represent
state in memory, this package's responsibility is in serializing a subset
of that data to a JSON-based file format and then reloading that data
back into memory later.
For reading, this package supports state file formats going back to
version 1, using lightly-adapted versions of the migration code previously
used in the "terraform" package. State data is upgraded to the latest
version step by step and then transformed into the in-memory state
representation, which is distinct from any of the file format structs in
this package to enable these to evolve separately.
For writing, only the latest version (4) is supported, which is a new
format that is a slightly-flattened version of the new in-memory state
models introduced in the prior commit. This format retains the outputs
from only the root module and it flattens out the module and instance
parts of the hierarchy by including the identifiers for these inside
the child object. The loader then reconstructs the multi-layer structure
we use for more convenient access in memory.
For now, the only testing in this package is of round-tripping different
versions of state through a read and a write, ensuring the output is
as desired. This exercises all of the reading, upgrading, and writing
functions but should be augmented in later commits to improve coverage
and introduce more focused tests for specific parts of the functionality.
