Previously, resources without explicit provider configuration (i.e. a
`provider =` attribute) would be assigned a default provider based upon
the resource type. For example, a resource `foo_bar` would be assigned
provider `hashicorp/foo`.
This behaviour did not work well with community or partner providers,
with sources configured in `terraform.required_providers` blocks. With
the following configuration:
terraform {
required_providers {
foo = {
source = "acme/foo"
}
}
}
resource foo_bar "a" { }
the resource would be configured with the `hashicorp/foo` provider.
This commit fixes this implied provider behaviour. First we look for a
provider with local name matching the resource type in the module's
required providers map. If one is found, this provider is assigned to
the resource. Otherwise, we still fall back to a default provider.
We now permit at most one `required_providers` block per module (except
for overrides). This prevents users (and Terraform) from struggling to
understand how to merge multiple `required_providers` configurations,
with `version` and `source` attributes split across multiple blocks.
Because only one `required_providers` block is permitted, there is no
need to concatenate version constraints and resolve them. This allows us
to simplify the structs used to represent provider requirements,
aligning more closely with other structs in this package.
This commit also fixes a semantic use-before-initialize bug, where
resources defined before a `required_providers` block would be unable to
use its source attribute. We achieve this by processing the module's
`required_providers` configuration (and overrides) before resources.
Overrides for `required_providers` work as before, replacing the entire
block per provider.
This encapsulates the logic for selecting an implied FQN for an
unqualified type name, which could either come from a local name used in
a module without specifying an explicit source for it or from the prefix
of a resource type on a resource that doesn't explicitly set "provider".
This replaces the previous behavior of just directly calling
NewDefaultProvider everywhere so that we can use a different implication
for the local name "terraform", to refer to the built-in terraform
provider rather than the stale one that's on registry.terraform.io for
compatibility with other Terraform versions.
* terraform: large refactor to use Provider from configs.Resource
configs.Resource.ImpliedProvider() now returns a string; it is the
callers' responsibility to turn that into an addrs.Provider if needed.
GraphNodeProviderConsumer ProvidedBy() no longer returns nil (reverting
to earlier, pre-provider-fqn behavior): it will return either the
provider set in config, provider set in state, or the default provider.
This function can already produce suitable diagnostic messages which we'd
like to preserve, but it cannot produce source location information, and
so we'll amend the diagnostics to include that on the way out while
retaining all of the other values in the diagnostics.
* configs: parse provider source string during module merge
This was the smallest unit of work needed to start writing provider
source tests!
* Update configs/parser_test.go

* add Config to AttachSchemaTransformer for providerFqn lookup
* terraform: refactor ProvidedBy() to return nil when provider is not set
in config or state
Implement a new provider_meta block in the terraform block of modules, allowing provider-keyed metadata to be communicated from HCL to provider binaries.
Bundled in this change for minimal protocol version bumping is the addition of markdown support for attribute descriptions and the ability to indicate when an attribute is deprecated, so this information can be shown in the schema dump.

Added configs.Module.ProviderForLocalProviderConfig which allows
terraform.ProviderTransformer to get the provider FQN from the module,
instead of assuming NewLegacyProvider.
* configs: added map of ProviderLocalNames to configs.Module
We will need to lookup any user-supplied local names for a given FQN.
This PR adds a map of ProviderLocalNames to the Module, along with
adding tests for this and for decodeRequiredProvidersBlock.
This also introduces the appearance of support for a required_provider
"source" attribute, but ignores any user-supplied source and instead
continues to assume that addrs.NewLegacyProvider is the way to go.
Renamed file.ProviderRequirements to file.RequiredProviders to match the
name of the block in the configuration. file.RequiredProviders contains
the contents of the file(s); module.ProviderRequirements contains the
parsed and merged provider requirements.
Extended decodeRequiredProvidersBlock to parse the new provider source
syntax (version only, it will ignore any other attributes).
Added some tests; swapped deep.Equal with cmp.Equal in the
terraform/module_dependencies_test.go because deep was not catching
incorrect constraints.
The existing "type" argument allows specifying a type constraint that
allows for some basic validation, but often there are more constraints on
a variable value than just its type.
This new feature (requiring an experiment opt-in for now, while we refine
it) allows specifying arbitrary validation rules for any variable which
can then cause custom error messages to be returned when a caller provides
an inappropriate value.
variable "example" {
validation {
condition = var.example != "nope"
error_message = "Example value must not be \"nope\"."
}
}
The core parts of this are designed to do as little new work as possible
when no validations are specified, and thus the main new checking codepath
here can therefore only run when the experiment is enabled in order to
permit having validations.
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.
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.
Throughout the main "terraform" package we identify resources using the
address types, and so this helper is useful to make concise transitions
between the address types and the configuration types.
As part of this, we use the address types to produce the keys used in our
resource maps. This has no visible change in behavior since the prior
implementation produced an equal result, but this change ensures that
ResourceByAddr cannot be broken by hypothetical future changes to the
key serialization.
We can only do this when modules are loaded with Parser.LoadConfigDir,
but in practice this is the common case anyway.
This is important to support the path.module and path.root expressions in
configuration.
Initially the intent here was to tease these apart a little more since
they don't really share much behavior in common in core, but in practice
it'll take a lot of refactoring to tease apart these assumptions in core
right now and so we'll keep these things unified at the configuration
layer in the interests of minimizing disruption at the core layer.
The two types are still kept in separate maps to help reinforce the fact
that they are separate concepts with some behaviors in common, rather than
the same concept.
This method wraps LoadConfigFile to load all of the .tf and .tf.json files
in a given directory and then bundle them together into a Module object.
This function also deals with the distinction between primary and override
files, first appending together the primary files in lexicographic order
by filename, and then merging in override files in the same order.
The merging behavior is not fully implemented as of this commit, and so
will be expanded in future commits.
This is a first pass of decoding of the main Terraform configuration file
format. It hasn't yet been tested with any real-world configurations, so
it will need to be revised further as we test it more thoroughly.
These types represent the individual elements within configuration, the
modules a configuration is made of, and the configuration (static module
tree) itself.
