After some discussion with "iamakulov" on Twitter it seems that the use
of the word "conflicts" and "merge conflicts" here was sounding like us
implicitly condoning the use of version control as a mechanism for
distributing local state files, which hasn't been recommended for quite
some time since remote state now provides a much more robust solution.
While here, I also tweaked some other language on this page for style and
for use of terminology we more commonly use in our more recent
documentation.
Following the examples as they were previously would cause errors
accessing demo.consul.io. Now we consistently set the scheme to https for
all examples that use demo.consul.io.
This also includes some other updates to the URLs, since the Consul demo
has been rebuilt with a different based configuration, and some general
formatting and copyediting changes in the Consul example.
- Fixes#11696
- This changes makes `terraform output -json` return '{}' instead of
throwing an error about "no outputs defined"
- If `-json` is not set, the user will receive an error as before
- This UX helps new users to understand how outputs are used
- Allows for easier automation of TF CLI as an empty set of outputs is
usually acceptable, but any other error from `output` would be
re-raised to the user.
* cli: show workspace name in destroy confirmation
If the workspace name is not "default", include it in the confirmation
message for `terraform destroy`.
Fixes#15480
We already had the functionality to make resources deprecated, which was
used when migrating resources to data sources, but the functionality was
unexported, so only the schema package could do it. Now it's exported,
meaning providers can mark entire resources as deprecated. I also added
a test in hopefully-the-right place?
Due to an incorrect slice allocation, the environment variable list was created with an empty string
element for each real element added.
It appears that this was silently ignored on Unix, but caused the following environment settings
to be ignored altogether on Windows.
This adds the Taint field to the acceptance testing framework, allowing
the ability to pre-taint resources at the beginning of a particular
TestStep. This can be useful for when an explicit ForceNew is required
for a specific resource for troubleshooting things like diff mismatches,
etc.
The field accepts resource addresses as a list of strings. To keep
things simple for the time being, only addresses in the root module are
accepted. If we ever want to expand this past that, I'd be almost
inclined to add some facilities to the core terraform package to help
translate actual module resource addresses (ie:
module.foo.module.bar.some_resource.baz) into the correct state, versus
the current convention in some acceptance testing facilities that take
the module address as a list of strings (ie: []string{"root", "foo",
"bar"}).
