This adds a field terraform_version to the state that represents the
Terraform version that wrote that state. If Terraform encounters a state
written by a future version, it will error. You must use at least the
version that wrote that state.
Internally we have fields to override this behavior (StateFutureAllowed),
but I chose not to expose them as CLI flags, since the user can just
modify the state directly. This is tricky, but should be tricky to
represent the horrible disaster that can happen by enabling it.
We didn't have to bump the state format version since the absense of the
field means it was written by version "0.0.0" which will always be
older. In effect though this change will always apply to version 2 of
the state since it appears in 0.7 which bumped the version for other
purposes.
This introduces the terraform state list command to list the resources
within a state. This is the first of many state management commands to
come into 0.7.
This is the first command of many to come that is considered a
"plumbing" command within Terraform (see "plumbing vs porcelain":
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/what-are-plumbing-and-porcelain-td2190639.html).
As such, this PR also introduces a bunch of groundwork to support
plumbing commands.
The main changes:
- Main command output is changed to split "common" and "uncommon"
commands.
- mitchellh/cli is updated to support nested subcommands, since
terraform state list is a nested subcommand.
- terraform.StateFilter is introduced as a way in core to filter/search
the state files. This is very basic currently but I expect to make it
more advanced as time goes on.
- terraform state list command is introduced to list resources in a
state. This can take a series of arguments to filter this down.
Known issues, or things that aren't done in this PR on purpose:
- Unit tests for terraform state list are on the way. Unit tests for the
core changes are all there.
This means that terraform commands like `plan`, `apply`, `show`, and
`graph` will expand all modules by default.
While modules-as-black-boxes is still very true in the conceptual design
of modules, feedback on this behavior has consistently suggested that
users would prefer to see more verbose output by default.
The `-module-depth` flag and env var are retained to allow output to be
optionally limited / summarized by these commands.
Add `-target=resource` flag to core operations, allowing users to
target specific resources in their infrastructure. When `-target` is
used, the operation will only apply to that resource and its
dependencies.
The calculated dependencies are different depending on whether we're
running a normal operation or a `terraform destroy`.
Generally, "dependencies" refers to ancestors: resources falling
_before_ the target in the graph, because their changes are required to
accurately act on the target.
For destroys, "dependencies" are descendents: those resources which fall
_after_ the target. These resources depend on our target, which is going
to be destroyed, so they should also be destroyed.
