We now require the output to accept UTF-8 and we can determine how wide
the terminal (if any) is, so here we begin to make use of that for the
"terraform plan" command.
The horizontal rule is now made of box drawing characters instead of
hyphens and fills the whole terminal width.
The paragraphs of text in the output are now also wrapped to fill the
terminal width, instead of the hard-wrapping we did before.
This is just a start down the road of making better use of the terminal
capabilities. Lots of other commands could benefit from updates like these
too.
Here we propagate in the initialized terminal.Streams from package main,
and then onwards to backends running in CLI mode.
This also replaces our use of helper/wrappedstreams to determine whether
stdin is a terminal or a pipe. helper/wrappedstreams returns incorrect
file descriptors on Windows, causing StdinPiped to always return false on
that platform and thus causing one of the odd behaviors discussed in
Finally, this includes some wrappers around the ability to look up the
number of columns in the terminal in preparation for use elsewhere. These
wrappers deal with the fact that our unit tests typically won't populate
meta.Streams.
If the remote backend is connected to a Terraform Cloud workspace in
local operations mode, we disable the version check, as the remote
Terraform version is meaningless.
Terraform remote version conflicts are not a concern for operations. We
are in one of three states:
- Running remotely, in which case the local version is irrelevant;
- Workspace configured for local operations, in which case the remote
version is meaningless;
- Forcing local operations with a remote backend, which should only
happen in the Terraform Cloud worker, in which case the Terraform
versions by definition match.
This commit therefore disables the version check for operations (plan
and apply), which has the consequence of disabling it in Terraform Cloud
and Enterprise runs. In turn this enables Terraform Enterprise runs with
bundles which have a version that doesn't exactly match the bundled
Terraform version.
Terraform Cloud/Enterprise support a pseudo-version of "latest" for the
configured workspace Terraform version. If this is chosen, we abandon
the attempt to verify the versions are compatible, as the meaning of
"latest" cannot be predicted.
This affects both the StateMgr check (used for commands which execute
remotely) and the full version check (for local commands).
When using the enhanced remote backend, a subset of all Terraform
operations are supported. Of these, only plan and apply can be executed
on the remote infrastructure (e.g. Terraform Cloud). Other operations
run locally and use the remote backend for state storage.
This causes problems when the local version of Terraform does not match
the configured version from the remote workspace. If the two versions
are incompatible, an `import` or `state mv` operation can cause the
remote workspace to be unusable until a manual fix is applied.
To prevent this from happening accidentally, this commit introduces a
check that the local Terraform version and the configured remote
workspace Terraform version are compatible. This check is skipped for
commands which do not write state, and can also be disabled by the use
of a new command-line flag, `-ignore-remote-version`.
Terraform version compatibility is defined as:
- For all releases before 0.14.0, local must exactly equal remote, as
two different versions cannot share state;
- 0.14.0 to 1.0.x are compatible, as we will not change the state
version number until at least Terraform 1.1.0;
- Versions after 1.1.0 must have the same major and minor versions, as
we will not change the state version number in a patch release.
If the two versions are incompatible, a diagnostic is displayed,
advising that the error can be suppressed with `-ignore-remote-version`.
When this flag is used, the diagnostic is still displayed, but as a
warning instead of an error.
Commands which will not write state can assert this fact by calling the
helper `meta.ignoreRemoteBackendVersionConflict`, which will disable the
checks. Those which can write state should instead call the helper
`meta.remoteBackendVersionCheck`, which will return diagnostics for
display.
In addition to these explicit paths for managing the version check, we
have an implicit check in the remote backend's state manager
initialization method. Both of the above helpers will disable this
check. This fallback is in place to ensure that future code paths which
access state cannot accidentally skip the remote version check.
The remote backend tests spent most of their execution time sleeping in
various polling and backoff waits. This is unnecessary when testing
against a mock server, so reduce all of these delays when under test to
much lower values.
Only one remaining test has an artificial delay: verifying the discovery
of services against an unknown hostname. This times out at DNS
resolution, which is more difficult to fix than seems worth it at this
time.
When rendering planned output changes, we need to filter the plan's
output changes to ensure that only root module outputs which have
changed are rendered. Otherwise we will render changes for submodule
outputs, and (with concise diff disabled) render unchanged outputs also.
Use a single log writer instance for all std library logging.
Setup the std log writer in the logging package, and remove boilerplate
from test packages.
A cost estimation error does not actually stop a run, so the run was continuing in the background after the cli exits, causing confusion. This change matches the UI behavior.
pathorcontents was solely used by the gcs backend. I moved the function
into the backend package so it could still be used by other backends for
good measure.
* remove unused code
I've removed the provider-specific code under registry, and unused nil
backend, and replaced a call to helper from backend/oss (the other
callers of that func are provisioners scheduled to be deprecated).
I also removed the Dockerfile, as our build process uses a different
file.
Finally I removed the examples directory, which had outdated examples
and links. There are better, actively maintained examples available.
* command: remove various unused bits
* test wasn't running
* backend: remove unused err
