This new function allows using a search within one list to filter another list. For example, it can be used to find the ids of EC2 instances in a particular AZ.
The interface is made slightly awkward by the constraints of HIL's featureset.

This method mirrors that of config.Backend, so we can compare the
configration of a backend read from a config vs that of a backend read
from a state. This will prevent init from reinitializing when using
`-backend-config` options that match the existing state.
The variable validator assumes that any AST node it gets from an
interpolation walk is an indicator of an interpolation. Unfortunately,
back in f223be15 we changed the interpolation walker to emit a LiteralNode
as a way to signal that the result is a literal but not identical to the
input due to escapes.
The existence of this issue suggests a bit of a design smell in that the
interpolation walker interface at first glance appears to skip over all
literals, but it actually emits them in this one situation. In the long
run we should perhaps think about whether the abstraction is right here,
but this is a shallow, tactical change that fixes#13001.

This is the result of running generate with the latest version of
stringer. Everyone working on Terraform will need to update stringer
after this is merged, to avoid reverting this:
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
Adds `basename` and `dirname` interpolation. I want to add a `stack` tag to our infrastructure, the value of which is set to `${basename(path.cwd)}`. We currently use `${replace(path.cwd, "/^.+\\//", "")}` instead, but this is extremeley unreadable. The existance of a `basename` function would be very useful for this use case.
I don't have an immediate use case for a `dirname` function, but it seemed reasonable to add it as well.
When configuration is read out of JSON, HCL assumes that empty levels of
objects can be flattened, but this removes too much to decode into a
config.Terraform struct.
Reconstruct the appropriate AST to decode the config struct.
Ensure that fields set in an earlier Terraform config block aren't
removed by Append when encountering another Terraform block. When
multiple blocks contain the same field, the later one still wins.
Fixes#12788
We would panic when referencing an output from an undefined module. The
panic above this is correct but in this case Load will not catch
interpolated variables that _reference_ an unloaded/undefined module.
Test included.
It can be tedious fixing a new module with many errors when Terraform
only outputs the first random error it encounters.
Accumulate all errors from validation, and format them for the user.
Fixes#11800
Type check the value of count so we don't panic on the conversion.
I wondered "why didn't we do this before?" There is no excuse for NOT
doing it at all but the reasoning was beacuse prior to the list/map work
in 0.7, the value couldn't be anything other than a string since any
primitive can turn into a string.
Regardless, we should've always done this.
This disables the computed value check for `count` during the validation
pass. This enables partial support for #3888 or #1497: as long as the
value is non-computed during the plan, complex values will work in
counts.
**Notably, this allows data source values to be present in counts!**
The "count" value can be disabled during validation safely because we
can treat it as if any field that uses `count.index` is computed for
validation. We then validate a single instance (as if `count = 1`) just
to make sure all required fields are set.
Fixes#11038
This is a **short term fix**.
Terraform core doesn't currently handle root modules named "root" well
because the prefix `[]string{"root"}` has special meaning and Terraform
core [currently] can't disambiguate between the root module and a module
named "root" in the root module.
This PR introduces a short term fix by simply disallowing root modules
named "root". This shouldn't break any BC because since 0.8.0 this
didn't work at all in many broken ways (including crashes).
Longer term, this should be fixed by removing the special prefix at all
and having empty paths be root. I started down this path but the core
changes necessary are far too scary for a patch release. We can aim for
0.9.
Fixes#4789
This improves the validation that valid provider aliases are used.
Previously, we required that provider aliases be defined in every module
they're used. This isn't correct because the alias may be used in a
parent module and inherited.
This removes that validation and creates the validation that a provider
alias must be defined in the used module or _any parent_. This allows
inheritance to work properly.
We've always had this type of validation for aliases because we believe
its a good UX tradeoff: typo-ing an alias is really painful, so we
require declaration of alias usage. It may add a small burden to
declare, but since relatively few aliases are used, it improves the
scenario where a user fat-fingers an alias name.
Fixes#10715
`config.Merge` was not updated to support a number of new features. This
updates the codepath to merge various fields, including the `terraform`
block which was the issue in #10715.
The `Merge` API is called when an `_override` file is present to _merge_
configurations. Normally configurations are _appended_. Only an override
file triggers a _merge_.
I started working on a generic library to do this automatically awhile
back but never finished it. This might motivate me to do so. In the
interest of getting a fix out though, we'll continue the manual
approach.
Fixes#10597
This disallows any names for variables, modules, etc. starting with
ints. This causes parse errors with the new HIL parser and actually
causes long term ambiguities if we allow this.
I've also updated the upgrade guide to note this as a backwards
compatibility and how people can fix this going forward.
We allow variables to have descriptions specified, as additional context
for a module user as to what should be provided for a given variable.
We previously lacked a similar mechanism for outputs. Since they too are
part of a module's public interface, it makes sense to be able to add
descriptions for these for symmetry's sake.
This change makes a "description" attribute valid within an "output"
configuration block and stores it within the configuration data structure,
but doesn't yet do anything further with it. For now this is useful only
for third-party tools that might parse a module's config to generate
user documentation; later we could expose the descriptions as part of
the "apply" output, but that is left for a separate change.
