* configs: move ProviderConfigCompact[Str] from addrs to configs
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. This is an intermediate step; the next step will change the returned types to something based in the configs package.
* command: rename choosePlugins to chooseProviders to clarify scope of function
* use `Provider.LegacyString()` (instead of `Provider.Type`) consistently
* explicitly create legacy-style provider (continuing from above change)
When warnings appear in isolation (not accompanied by an error) it's
reasonable to want to defer resolving them for a while because they are
not actually blocking immediate work.
However, our warning messages tend to be long by default in order to
include all of the necessary context to understand the implications of
the warning, and that can make them overwhelming when combined with other
output.
As a compromise, this adds a new CLI option -compact-warnings which is
supported for all the main operation commands and which uses a more
compact format to print out warnings as long as they aren't also
accompanied by errors.
The default remains unchanged except that the threshold for consolidating
warning messages is reduced to one so that we'll now only show one of
each distinct warning summary.
Full warning messages are always shown if there's at least one error
included in the diagnostic set too, because in that case the warning
message could contain additional context to help understand the error.
Traditionally we've preferred to release new language features in major
releases only, because we can then use the beta cycle to gather feedback
on the feature and learn about any usability challenges or other
situations we didn't consider during our design in time to make those
changes before inclusion in a stable release.
This "experiments" feature is intended to decouple the feedback cycle for
new features from the major release rhythm, and thus allow us to release
new features in minor releases by first releasing them as experimental for
a minor release or two, adjust for any feedback gathered during that
period, and then finally remove the experiment gate and enable the feature
for everyone.
The intended model here is that anything behind an experiment gate is
subject to breaking changes even in patch releases, and so any module
using these experimental features will be broken by a future Terraform
upgrade.
The behavior implemented here is:
- Recognize a new "experiments" setting in the "terraform" block which
allows module authors to explicitly opt in to experimental features.
terraform {
experiments = [resource_for_each]
}
- Generate a warning whenever loading a module that has experiments
enabled, to avoid accidentally depending on experimental features and
thus risking unexpected breakage on next Terraform upgrade.
- We check the enabled experiments against the configuration at module
load time, which means that experiments are scoped to a particular
module. Enabling an experiment in one module does not automatically
enable it in any other module.
This experiments mechanism is itself an experiment, and so I'd like to
use the resource for_each feature to trial it. Because any configuration
using experiments is subject to breaking changes, we are free to adjust
this experiments feature in future releases as we see fit, but once
for_each is shipped without an experiment gate we'll be blocked from
making significant changes to it until the next major release at least.
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.
* huge change to weave new addrs.Provider into addrs.ProviderConfig
* terraform: do not include an empty string in the returned Providers /
Provisioners
- Fixed a minor bug where results included an extra empty string
Now we'll consider any message that doesn't start with a digit as a
continuation. This is _definitely_ in loose, best-effort territory now
since a continuation line could very well start with a digit, but
ultimately this is still better than the totally broken behavior that
preceded it.
Just to make sure that none of these heuristics interfere with producing
complete, accurate logs for TRACE, we'll skip the LevelFilter altogether
in that case.
The filtering for other log levels is unreliable and glitchy because it's
trying to infer information from the log stream that isn't reliably
represented.
Although the previous commit has improved the situation somewhat, it is
still a tricky and unreliable heuristic, so worth a warning to anyone who
is reading such a log that if they see something confusing it could be
a result of the heuristic not working fully.
In order to make this work reasonably we can't avoid using some funny
heuristics, which are somewhat reasonable to apply within the context of
Terraform itself but would not be good to add to the general "logutils".
Specifically, this is adding the additional heuristic that lines starting
with spaces are continuation lines and so should inherit the log level
of the most recent non-continuation line.
If a state mv target happens to be a resource that doesn't exist, allow
the creation of the new resource inferring the EachMode from the target
address.
