These are intended to make it easier to work with arbitrary data
structures whose shape might not be known statically, such as the result
of jsondecode(...) or yamldecode(...) of data from a separate system.
For example, in an object value which has attributes that may or may not
be set we can concisely provide a fallback value to use when the attribute
isn't set:
try(local.example.foo, "fallback-foo")
Using a "try to evaluate" model rather than explicit testing fits better
with the usual programming model of the Terraform language where values
are normally automatically converted to the necessary type where possible:
the given expression is subject to all of the same normal type conversions,
which avoids inadvertently creating a more restrictive evaluation model
as might happen if this were handled using checks like a hypothetical
isobject(...) function, etc.
This brings in the new HCL extension functions "try", "can", and
"convert", along with the underlying HCL and cty infrastructure that allow
them to work.
This also includes an upgrade to cty v1.1.1 because HCL calls for it.
The changes in these two libraries are mainly to codepaths that don't
directly affect Terraform, but including this upgrade will cause some
small improvements to Terraform's error messages for type conversion
problems.
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.
Previously, configupgrade would panic if it encountered a HEREDOC. For
the time being, we will simply print out the HEREDOC as-is.
Unfortunately, we discovered that terraform 0.11's version of HCL
allowed for HEREDOCs with the termination delimiter inline (instead of
on a newline, which is technically correct). Since 0.12configupgrade
needs to be bug-compatible with terraform 0.11, we must roll back to the
same version of HCL used in terraform 0.11.
This includes a bugfix to the cty/msgpack package to ensure correct
decoding of unknown and null values.
This also includes updates to cty's dependencies.
This uses the `fmtcmd` package which has recently been merged into HCL. Per
the usage text, this rewrites Terraform config files to their canonical
formatting and style.
Some notes about the implementation for this initial commit:
- all of the fmtcmd options are exposed as CLI flags
- it operates on all files that have a `.tf` suffix
- it currently only operates on the working directory and doesn't accept a
directory argument, but I'll extend this in subsequent commits
- output is proxied through `cli.UiWriter` so that we write in the same way
as other commands and we can capture the output during tests
- the test uses a very simple fixture just to ensure that it is working
correctly end-to-end; the fmtcmd package has more exhaustive tests
- we have to write the fixture to a file in a temporary directory because it
will be modified and for this reason it was easier to define the fixture
contents as a raw string
The original contents of `vendor` were inadvertently captured with an
older version of `godep`. Here, we recapture dependencies by running the
following:
```
godep restore -v
cat Godeps/Godeps.json | jq -r '.Deps[].ImportPath' | xargs godep update -v
```
The newer godep makes the following changes as it captures dependencies:
* Skips test files
* Copies `LICENSE` / `PATENTS` files
There is also an additional diff in `golang.org/x/sys/unix` that looks
very similar to the diff between `master..c65f27f` in that repo, so I'm
guessing that dependency was accidentally captured from master instead
of the commit saved to `Godeps.json`.
All in all, these changes should all be "more correct" and result in
smaller diffs for any future updates made to dependencies.
* Remove `make updatedeps` from Travis build. We'll follow up with more
specific plans around dependency updating in subsequent PRs.
* Update all `make` targets to set `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1` and to
filter out `/vendor/` from `./...` where appropriate.
* Temporarily remove `vet` from the `make test` target until we can
figure out how to get it to not vet `vendor/`. (Initial
experimentation failed to yield the proper incantation.)
Everything is pinned to current master, with the exception of:
* Azure/azure-sdk-for-go which is pinned before the breaking change today
* aws/aws-sdk-go which is pinned to the most recent tag
The documentation still needs to be updated, which we can do in a follow
up PR. The goal here is to unblock release.
