Previously, terraform was returning a potentially-misleading error
message in response to anything other than a 404 from the
b.client.Workspaces.Read operation. This PR simplifies Terraform's error
message with the intent of encouraging those who encounter it to focus
on the error message returned from the tfe client.
The added test is odd, and a bit hacky, and possibly overkill.
When a TFC workspace is configured without a VCS root, and with a
working directory, and a user is running `terraform init` from that same
directory, TFC uploads the entire configuration directory, not only the
user's cwd. This is not obvious to the user, so we are adding a descriptive
message explaining what is being uploaded, and why.
* backend/enhanced: start with absolute config path
We recently started normalizing the config path before all "command"
operations, which was necessary for consistency but had unexpected
consequences for remote backend operations, specifically when a vcs root
with a working directory are configured.
This PR de-normalizes the path back to an absolute path.
* Check the error and add a test
It turned out all required logic was already present, so I just needed to add a test for this specific use case.
Support for cross-domain authentication has been added and mapping
environment variables to the correct domain settings has been
fixed.
In addition, support for clouds.yaml files has been added.
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.
When changes are made and we failed to upload the state, we should not
try to unlock the workspace. Leaving the workspace locked is a good
indication something went wrong and also prevents other changes from
being applied before the newest state is properly uploaded.
Additionally we now output the lock ID when a lock or force-unlock
action failed.
When failing to write the state, the local backend writes the state to a local file called `errrored.tfstate`. Previously it would do so by creating a new state file which would use a new serial and lineage. By exorting the existing state file and directly assigning the new state, the serial and lineage are preserved.
For users who in previous versions have relied on our lack of checking for
whether variables are declared, they may previously have seen an
overwhelming number of warnings when running Terraform v0.12.
Here we cap that number at three specific warnings and then one general
warning, so we can still give a specific source location for the first
couple (for users who have genuinely made a typo) but summarize away a
large number for those who are seeing this because they've not yet
migrated to using environment variables.
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.
Previously we checked can-update in order to determine if a user had the
required permissions to apply a run, but that wasn't sufficient. So we
added a new permission, can-queue-apply, that we now use instead.
The handling of slashes was broken around listing workspaces in
workspace_key_prefix. While it worked in most places by splitting an
extra time around the spurious slashes, it failed in the case that the
prefix ended with a slash of its own.
A test was temporarily added to verify that the backend works with the
unusual keys, but rather than risking silent breakage around prefixes
with trailing slashes, we also add validation to prevent users from
entering keys with trailing slashes at all.
The init error was output deep in the backend by detecting a
special ResourceProviderError and formatted directly to the CLI.
Create some Diagnostics closer to where the problem is detected, and
passed that back through the normal diagnostic flow. While the output
isn't as nice yet, this restores the helpful error message and makes the
code easier to maintain. Better formatting can be handled later.
The API surface area is much smaller when we use the remote backend for remote state only.
So in order to try and prevent any backwards incompatibilities when TF runs inside of TFE, we’ve split up the discovery services into `state.v2` (which can be used for remote state only configurations, so when running in TFE) and `tfe.v2.1` (which can be used for all remote configurations).
This changes the contract for `PlanResourceChange` so that the provider is now responsible
for populating all default values during plan, including inserting any unknown values for
defaults it will fill in at apply time.
We've changed the contract for PlanResourceChange to now require the
provider to populate any default values (including unknowns) it wants to
set for computed arguments, so our mock provider here now needs to be a
little more complex to deal with that.
This fixes several of the tests in this package. A minor change to
TestLocal_applyEmptyDirDestroy was required to make it properly configure
the mock provider so PlanResourceChange can access the schema.
In Terraform 0.11 and earlier we just silently ignored undeclared
variables in -var-file and the automatically-loaded .tfvars files. This
was a bad user experience for anyone who made a typo in a variable name
and got no feedback about it, so we made this an error for 0.12.
However, several users are now relying on the silent-ignore behavior for
automation scenarios where they pass the same .tfvars file to all
configurations in their organization and expect Terraform to ignore any
settings that are not relevant to a specific configuration. We never
intentionally supported that, but we don't want to immediately break that
workflow during 0.12 upgrade.
As a compromise, then, we'll make this a warning for v0.12.0 that contains
a deprecation notice suggesting to move to using environment variables
for this "cross-configuration variables" use-case. We don't produce errors
for undeclared variables in environment variables, even though that
potentially causes the same UX annoyance as ignoring them in vars files,
because environment variables are assumed to live in the user's session
and this it would be very inconvenient to have to unset such variables
when moving between directories. Their "ambientness" makes them a better
fit for these automatically-assigned general variable values that may or
may not be used by a particular configuration.
This can revert to being an error in a future major release, after users
have had the opportunity to migrate their automation solutions over to
use environment variables.
We don't seem to have any tests covering this specific situation right
now. That isn't ideal, but this change is so straightforward that it would
be relatively expensive to build new targeted test cases for it and so
I instead just hand-tested that it is indeed now producing a warning where
we were previously producing an error. Hopefully if there is any more
substantial work done on this codepath in future that will be our prompt
to add some unit tests for this.
