package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.

Our model for plans/planfile has unfortunately grown inconsistent with
changes to our modeling of plans.Plan.
Originally we considered the plan "header" and the planned changes as an
entirely separate artifact from the prior state, but we later realized
that carrying the prior state around with the plan is important to
ensuring we always have enough context to faithfully render a plan to the
user, and so we added the prior state as a field of plans.Plan.
More recently we've also added the "previous run state" to plans.Plan for
similar reasons.
Unfortunately as a result of that modeling drift our ReadPlan method was
silently producing an incomplete plans.Plan object, causing use-cases like
"terraform show" to produce slightly different results due to the
plan object not round-tripping completely.
As a short-term tactical fix, here we add state snapshot reading into the
ReadPlan function. This is not an ideal solution because it means that
in the case of applying a plan, where we really do need access to the
state _file_, we'll end up reading the prior state file twice. However,
the goal here is only to heal the modelling quirk with as little change
as possible, because we're not currently at a point where we'd be willing
to risk regressions from a larger refactoring.
Until now we've not really cared much about the state snapshot produced
by the previous Terraform operation, except to use it as a jumping-off
point for our refresh step.
However, we'd like to be able to report to an end-user whenever Terraform
detects a change that occurred outside of Terraform, because that's often
helpful context for understanding why a plan contains changes that don't
seem to have corresponding changes in the configuration.
As part of reporting that we'll need to keep track of the state as it
was before we did any refreshing work, so we can then compare that against
the state after refreshing. To retain enough data to achieve that, the
existing Plan field State is now two fields: PrevRunState and PriorState.
This also includes a very shallow change in the core package to make it
populate something somewhat-reasonable into this field so that integration
tests can function reasonably. However, this shallow implementation isn't
really sufficient for real-world use of PrevRunState because we'll
actually need to update PrevRunState as part of planning in order to
incorporate the results of any provider-specific state upgrades to make
the PrevRunState objects compatible with the current provider schema, or
else our diffs won't be valid. This deeper awareness of PrevRunState in
Terraform Core will follow in a subsequent commit, prior to anything else
making use of Plan.PrevRunState.
This is to make it more obvious at all uses of this field that it's not
something to be used for anything other than UI decisions, hopefully
prompting a reader of code elsewhere to refer to the comments to
understand why it has this unusual prefix and thus see what its intended
purpose is.
This only includes the internal mechanisms to make it work, and not any
of the necessary UI changes to "terraform plan" and "terraform apply" to
activate it yet.
The force-replace options are ultimately handled inside the
NodeAbstractResourceInstance.plan method, at the same place we handle the
similar situation of the provider indicating that replacement is needed,
and so the rest of the changes here are just to propagate the settings
through all of the layers in order to reach that point.
Previously we were repeating some logic in the UI layer in order to
recover relevant additional context about a change to report to a user.
In order to help keep things consistent, and to have a clearer path for
adding more such things in the future, here we capture this user-facing
idea of an "action reason" within the plan model, and then use that
directly in order to decide how to describe the change to the user.
For the moment the "tainted" situation is the only one that gets a special
message, matching what we had before, but we can expand on this in future
in order to give better feedback about the other replace situations too.
This also preemptively includes the "replacing by request" reason, which
is currently not reachable but will be used in the near future as part of
implementing the -replace=... plan command line option to allow forcing
a particular object to be replaced.
So far we don't have any special reasons for anything other than replacing,
which makes sense because replacing is the only one that is in a sense
a special case of another action (Update), but this could expand to
other kinds of reasons in the future, such as explaining which of the
few different reasons a data source read might be deferred until the
apply step.
The stored planfile now serializes the required-replace path set and the
collection of before/after sensitivity marks. This ensures that storing
a plan and displaying it with `terraform show` renders the same output
for plans with required-replace resources, and those with sensitive
values in the diff.
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.

- Fixed a minor bug where results included an extra empty string
This was broken by an earlier change to verify the Terraform version
number when reading a state file. To fix it, we'll use our current version
in our constructed file which should then match when it's read back in.
We can't generate a valid plan file without a backend configuration to
write into it, but it's the responsibility of the caller (the command
package) to manage the backend configuration mechanism, so we require it
to tell us what to write here.
This feels a little strange because the backend in principle knows its
own config, but in practice the backend only knows the _processed_ version
of the config, not the raw configuration value that was used to configure
it.
converted the existing testPlanState() from terraform.State to
states.State to fix various plan tests.
reverted the "bandaid" in plans/planfile/tfplan.go - at this moment the
backend tests do not include backend configuration, and so the planfile
package can write the plan file but not read it back in. That will be
revisted in a separate track of work.
I have no confidence in the change to plans/planfile/tfplan.go. The
tests were passing an empty backend config, which planfile was able to
write to a file but not read from the same file. This change let me move
past that and it did not break any tests in the planfile package, but I
am concerned that it introduces undesired behavior.
Previously we used a single plan action "Replace" to represent both the
destroy-before-create and the create-before-destroy variants of replacing.
However, this forces the apply graph builder to jump through a lot of
hoops to figure out which nodes need it forced on and rebuild parts of
the graph to represent that.
If we instead decide between these two cases at plan time, the actual
determination of it is more straightforward because each resource is
represented by only one node in the plan graph, and then we can ensure
we put the right nodes in the graph during DiffTransformer and thus avoid
the logic for dealing with deposed instances being spread across various
different transformers and node types.
As a nice side-effect, this also allows us to show the difference between
destroy-then-create and create-then-destroy in the rendered diff in the
CLI, although this change doesn't fully implement that yet.
During the plan operation we need to retain _somewhere_ the planned
changes for all outputs so we can refer to them during expression
evaluation. For consistency with how we handle resource instance changes,
we'll keep them in the plan so we can properly retain unknown values,
which cannot be written to state.
As with output values in the state, only root output plans are retained
in a round-trip through the on-disk plan file format, but that's okay
because we can trivially re-calculate all of these during apply. We
include the _root_ outputs in the plan file only because they are
externally-visible side effects that ought to be included in any rendering
of the plan made from the plan file for user inspection.
This allows a provider to retain arbitrary extra data in the plan and
make use of it during apply. The contents are not used by Terraform and
never shown to the user.
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.
We shouldn't really need these because the plan is already filtered to
include diffs only for targeted resources, but we currently rely on this
to filter out non-resource items from the diff, and so we'll retain it
for now to avoid reworking how the apply-time graph builder works.
On the first pass here we erroneously assumed that this was redundant with
the backend settings embedded in the configuration itself. In practice,
users can override backend configuration when running "terraform init"
and so we need to record the _effective_ backend configuration.
Along with this, we also return the selected workspace name at the time
the plan was created so we'll later be able to produce a specialized error
for the situation of having the wrong workspace selected. This isn't
strictly required because we'll also check the lineage of the state, but
the error message that would result from that failure would be relatively
opaque and thus less helpful to the user.
This allows us to record the resource-to-provider associations we made
during the plan phase and ensure that we use the same config during
apply.
This isn't technically necessary, since we can in principle just repeat
the same matching algorithm against the config, but that algorithm is
relatively complicated and so if we execute it just once during plan we
remove the risk of bugs causing different decisions to be made during
the apply phase.
This also includes updates to the plan file format to include the provider
addresses. Since we've not actually shipped any version of Terraform
using our protobuf schema yet, we renumber here all of the fields after
the new one to keep them incrementing consecutively. This example should
not be followed after we have a released version of Terraform using this,
as a courtesy to anyone trying to parse these files (even though we're
not yet guaranteeing compatibility between releases).
The new format is radically different in than the old in physical
structure, but still has the same logical parts: the plan itself, a
snapshot of the input configuration, and a snapshot of the state as it
existed when the plan was created.
Rather than creating plan-specific serializations of state and config, the
new format instead leans on the existing file formats implemented
elsewhere, wrapping the result up in a zip archive with some internal file
naming conventions.
The plan portion of the file is serialized with protobuf, consistent with
our general strategy of replacing all use of encoding/gob with protobuf
moving forward.
