The previous commit added this flag but did not implement it. Here we
implement it by adjusting the shape of schema we return to Terraform Core
to mark the attribute as untyped and then ensure that gets handled
correctly on the SDK side.
When running in v0.12-and-higher mode, this will cause the SDK to report
the type of the attribute as "any", effectively skipping type checking
on the Core side altogether and checking only in the SDK and provider
code.
The practical impact of this is to restore the v0.11-style checking
behavior of allowing object values to be missing certain attributes as
long as they are marked as optional in the schema. The SDK can do this
because it uses a unified schema model for both object values and nested
blocks, while Terraform Core only supports the idea of "optional" when
talking about attributes in nested blocks.
This is a continuation of the pile of workarounds that also includes
the ConfigMode and AsSingle fields, allowing providers to selectively opt
out of new v0.12 behaviors in situations where they conflict with
decisions made in the design of the providers in our old world where
Terraform Core delegated _all_ validation to providers.
This is designed as an opt-in so that we can limit its impact only to
specific cases where it's needed and minimize the risk of regressions
elsewhere. Providers should use this sparingly only in situations where
prevailing usage disagrees with the new expectations of Terraform Core in
v0.12.
This commit only adds the flag, and does not implement any behavior for it
yet. That means this commit can exist in both the v0.11 and v0.12
codebases, allowing for API compatibility. A subsequent commit for v0.12
(not included in v0.11) will then implement this behavior.
It's important to preserve the provider address because during the destroy
phase of provider tests we'll use the references in the state to determine
which providers are required, and so without this attempts to override
the provider using the "provider" meta-argument can cause failures at
destroy time when the wrong provider gets selected.
(This is particularly acute in the google-beta provider tests because that
provider is _always_ used with provider = "google-beta" to override the
default behavior of using the normal "google" provider.)
The previous commit added a new flag to schema.Schema which is documented
to make a list with MaxItems: 1 be presented to Terraform Core as a single
value instead, giving a way to switch to non-list nested resources without
it being a breaking change for Terraform v0.11 users as long as it's done
prior to a provider's first v0.12-compatible release.
This is the implementation of that mechanism. It's intentionally
implemented as a suite of extra fixups rather than direct modifications to
existing shim code because we want to ensure that this has no effect
whatsoever on the result of a resource type that _isn't_ using AsSingle.
Although there is some small unit test coverage of the fixup steps here,
the primary testing for this is in the test provider since the integration
of all of these fixup steps in the correct order is the more important
result than any of the intermediate fixup steps.
This setting indicates that an attribute defined as TypeList or TypeSet
should be presented to Terraform Core as a single value instead when
running in Terraform v0.12 or later. It has no effect for Terraform v0.10
or v0.11.
This commit just introduces the setting without any associated behavior,
so it can be included in both the v0.12 and v0.11 branches. A subsequent
commit only to the v0.12 branch will introduce the behavior as part of
the protocol version 5 shims.
This will allow resources to return an unexpected change to set blocks
and attributes, otherwise we could mask these changes during
normalization.
Change the "plan" argument in normalizeNullValues to "preferDst" to more
accurately describe what the option is doing, since it no longer applies
only to PlanResourceChange.
This should be the final change from removing the flatmap normalization.
Since we're no longer trying to a consistent zero or null value in the
flatmap config, rather we're trying to maintain the previously applied
value, ReadResource also needs to apply the normalizeNullValues step in
order to prevent unexpected diffs.
This method was added early on when the diff was being applied as the
legacy code would have done, which is no longer the case. Everything
that normalizeFlatmapContainers does should be covered by the
combination of the initial diff.Apply and the normalizeNullValues on the
final cty.Value.
This makes some slight adjustments to the shape of the schema we
present to Terraform Core without affecting how it is consumed by the
SDK and thus the provider. This mechanism is designed specifically to
avoid changing how the schema is interpreted by the SDK itself or by the
provider, so that prior behavior can be preserved in Terraform v0.11 mode.
This also includes a new rule that Computed-only (i.e. not also Optional)
schemas _always_ map to attributes, because that is a better mapping of
the intent: they are object values to be used in expressions. Nested
blocks conceptually represent nested objects that are in some sense
independent of what they are embedded in, and so they cannot themselves be
computed.
This allows a provider developer slightly more control over how an SDK
schema is mapped into the Terraform configuration language, overriding
some default assumptions.
ConfigMode overrides the default assumption that a schema with
an Elem of type *Resource is to be mapped to configuration as a nested
block, allowing mapping as an attribute containing an object type instead.
These behaviors only apply when a provider is being used with Terraform
v0.12 or later. They are ignored altogether in Terraform v0.11 mode, to
preserve compatibility. We are adding these primarily to allow the v0.12
version of a resource type schema to be specified to match the prevailing
usage of it in existing configurations, in situations where the default
mapping to v0.12 concepts is not appropriate.
This commit adds only the fields themselves and the InternalValidate rules
for them. A subsequent commit for Terraform v0.12 will add the behavior
as part of the protocol version 5 shim layer.
As we've improved the cty.Value normalization, we need to remove
normalization procedures from the flatmap handling. Keeping the empty
containers in the flatmap will prevent unexpected nils from being added
to some schema configurations
Use objchange.NormalizeObjectFromLegacySDK to ensure that all objects
returned from the provider match what is expected based on the
configuration according to the schemas.
Providers were not strict (and were not forced to be) about customizing
the diff when a computed attribute needed to be updated during apply.
The fix we have in place to prevent loss of information during the
helper/schema apply process would add in single missing value back in.
The first place this was caught was when we attempt to fix up the
flatmapped attributes. The 1->0 count error is now better handled by our
cty.Value normalization step, so we can remove the special apply case
here altogether
The next place is in normalizeNullValues, and since the intent was to
re-insert missing zero-value lists and sets, adding a check for a length
of 0 protects us from adding in extra elements.
The new test fixture emulated common provider behavior of re-computing
values without customizing the diff. Since we can work around it, and
core will provider appropriate warnings, the shims should try to
maintain the legacy behavior.
The NewExtra values are stored outside the diff from plan, and the
original keys may not contain the ~ prefix. Adding the NewExtra back
into the diff with the mismatched key was causing an entire new set
element to be populated. Since this symbol isn't used to apply the diff
in helper/schema, we can simply strip them out.
The hcl2shims will always add in the timeouts block, because there's no
way to differentiate a null single block from an empty one in the
flatmapped state. Since we are only concerned with keeping the prior
timeouts value, always set the new value to null, and then copy over the
prior value if it exists.
When the user aborts input, it may end up as an unknown value, which
needs to be converted to null for PrepareConfig.
Allow PrepareConfig to accept null config values in order to fill in
missing defaults.
The new normalization should make preventing those changes unnecessary,
and will also prevent extra empty elements from being added when
resources are refreshed.
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
cty.Value.AsValueMap can return nil if called on an empty map or object.
The logic above was dealing with that case for maps, but object types
were falling through into this codepath and panicking when trying to
assign a new key into the nil dstMap.
This also includes a bonus fix where we were calling ty.ElementType in
a switch case that accepts object types. Object types don't have a single
element type, so we can't call ElementType on those (that also panics)
but we _can_ use the type of the value we selected from src to construct
our placeholder null value.
This comment seems to imply that you can put CRUD functions on nested schema.Resource objects.
The comment goes back to the first commit to this file, but AFAICT this functionality has never been implemented.
Due to the inprecision of our shimming from the legacy SDK type system to
the new Terraform Core type system, the legacy SDK produces a number of
inconsistencies that produce only minor quirky behavior or broken
edge-cases. To retain compatibility with those existing weird behaviors,
the legacy SDK opts out of our safety checks.
The intent here is to allow existing providers to continue to do their
previous unsafe behaviors for now, accepting that this will allow certain
quirky bugs from previous releases to persist, and then gradually migrate
away from the legacy SDK and remove this opt-out on a per-resource basis
over time.
As with the apply-time safety check opt-out, this is reserved only for
the legacy SDK and must not be used in any new SDK implementations. We
still include any inconsistencies as warnings in the logs as an aid to
anyone debugging weird behavior, so that they can see situations where
blame may be misplaced in the user-visible error messages.
Terraform core expects a sane state even when the provider returns an
error. Make sure at the prior state is always the default value to
return, and then alway attempt to process any state returned by
provider.Apply.
This was changed in the single attribute test cases, but the AttrPair
test is used a lot for data source. As far as tests are concerned, 0 and
unset should be treated equally for flatmapped collections.
Check attributes on null objects, and fill in unknowns. If we're
evaluating the object, it either means we are at the top level, or a
NestingSingle block was present, and in either case we need to treat the
attributes as null rather than the entire object.
Switch on the block types rather than Nesting, so we don't need add any
logic to change between List/Tuple or Map/Object when DynamicPseudoType
is involved.
The shim layer for the legacy SDK type system is not precise enough to
guarantee it will produce identical results between plan and apply. In
particular, values that are null during plan will often become zero-valued
during apply.
To avoid breaking those existing providers while still allowing us to
introduce this check in the future, we'll introduce a rather-hacky new
flag that allows the legacy SDK to signal that it is the legacy SDK and
thus disable the check.
Once we start phasing out the legacy SDK in favor of one that natively
understands our new type system, we can stop setting this flag and thus
get the additional safety of this check without breaking any
previously-released providers.
No other SDK is permitted to set this flag, and we will remove it if we
ever introduce protocol version 6 in future, assuming that any provider
supporting that protocol will always produce consistent results.
If set elements are computed, we can't be certain that they are actually
equal. Catch identical computed set hashes when they are added to the
set, and alter the set key slightly to keep the set counts correct.
In previous versions the interpolation string would be included in the
set, and different string values would cause the set to hash
differently, so this is change is only activated for the new protocol.
This turns it on at the last moment, and in one place for all uses of
helper/schema. There's no way to use the new protocol without calling
GetSchema, so we can be sure that any subsequent api calls have this set
when required.
Sets rely on diffs being complete for all elements, even when they are
unchanged. When encountering a DiffSuppressFunc inside a set the diffs
were being dropped entirely, possible causing set elements to be lost.
Previously we were using the type name requested in the import to select
the schema, but a provider is free to return additional objects of other
types as part of an import result, and so it's important that we perform
schema selection separately for each returned object.
If we don't do this, we get confusing downstream errors where the
resulting object decodes to the wrong type and breaks various invariants
expected by Terraform Core.
The testResourceImportOther test in the test provider didn't catch this
previously because it happened to have an identical schema to the other
resource type being imported. Now the schema is changed and also there's
a computed attribute we can set as part of the refresh phase to make sure
we're completing the Read call properly during import. Refresh was working
correctly, but we didn't have any tests for it as part of the import flow.
This checking helper is frequently used in provider tests for data
sources, as a shorthand to verify that an attribute of the data source
matches with the corresponding attribute on a managed resource.
Since we now leave empty collections null in more cases, this function is
sometimes effectively asked to verify that a given attribute is _unset_
in both the data source and the resource, so here we slightly adjust the
definition of the check to consider two nulls to be equal to one another,
which at this layer manifests as the keys not being present in the state
attributes map at all.
This check function didn't previously have tests, so this commit also adds
a basic suite of tests, including coverage for the new behavior.
While copyMissingValues was meant to re-insert empty values that were
null after apply, it turns out plan is sometimes not predictable as
well.
normalizeNullValue is meant to fix up any null/empty transitions between
to values, and be useful during plan as well. For plan the function only
concerns itself with individual, known values, and skips sets entirely.
The result of running with plan == true is that only changes between
empty and null collections should be fixed.
The new decoder is more precise, and unpacks the timeout block into a
single map, which ResourceTimeout.ConfigDecode was updated to handle.
We however still need to work with legacy versions of terraform, with
the old decoder.
With the new diff.Apply we can keep the diff mostly intact, but we need
turn off all RequiresNew flags so that the prior state is not removed
from the apply.
One quirky aspect of our import feature is that we allow the importer to
produce additional resources alongside the one that was imported, such as
to create separate rules for each rule of an imported security group.
Providers need to be able to set the types of these other resources since
they may not match the "main" resource type. They do this by calling
ResourceData.SetType, which in turn sets InstanceState.Ephemeral.Type.
In our shims here we therefore need to copy that out into our new TypeName
field so that the new core import code can see it and create the right
type in the state.
Testing this required a minor change to the test harness to allow the
ImportStateCheck function to see the resource type.
Historically helper/schema did not support non-primitive map attributes
because they cannot be represented unambiguously in flatmap. When we
initially implemented CoreConfigSchema here we mapped that situation to
a nested block of mode NestingMap, even though that'd never worked until
now, assuming that it'd be harmless because providers wouldn't be using
it.
It turns out that some providers are, in fact, incorrectly populating
a TypeMap schema with Elem: &schema.Resource, apparently under the false
assumption that it would constrain the keys allowed in the map. In
practice, helper/schema has just been ignoring this and treating such
attributes as map of string. (#20076)
In order to preserve the behavior of these existing incorrectly-specified
attribute definitions, here we mimic the helper/schema behavior by
presenting as an attribute of type map(string).
These attributes have also been shown in some documentation as nested
blocks (with no equals sign), so that'll need to be fixed in user
configurations as they upgrade to Terraform 0.12. However, the existing
upgrade tool rules will take care of that as a natural consequence of the
name being indicated as an attribute in the schema, rather than as a block
type.
This fixes#20076.
Our new diff handling no longer requires stripping the empty diffs out,
and provider may be relying on some of the empty-value quirks in
helper/schema.
Due to various inprecisions in the old SDK implementation, applying the
generated diff can potentially make changes to the data structure that
have no real effect, such as replacing an empty list with a null list or
vice-versa.
Although we can't totally eliminate such diff noise, here we attempt to
avoid it in situations where there are _only_ meaningless changes -- where
the prior state and planned state are equivalent -- by just echoing back
the prior state verbatim to ensure that Terraform will treat it as a noop
change.
If there _are_ some legitimate changes then the result may still contain
meaningless changes alongside it, but that is just a cosmetic problem for
the diff renderer, because the meaningless changes will be ignored
altogether during a subsequent apply anyway. The primary goal here is just
to ensure we can converge on a fixpoint when there are no explicit changes
in the configuration.
This adds unexpected values in some cases, and since the case this
handles is only within set objects, we'll deal woth this when tackling
the sets themselves.
Cycle through the shim operations after Apply, to ensure that we can
converge on a stable value for for Plan. While the shims produce valid
values in both directions, helper/schema sometimes does not agree on
which containers should be empty or null.
There are a few constructs from 0.11 and prior that cause 0.12 parsing to
fail altogether, which previously created a chicken/egg problem because
we need to install the providers in order to run "terraform 0.12upgrade"
and thus fix the problem.
This changes "terraform init" to use the new "early configuration" loader
for module and provider installation. This is built on the more permissive
parser in the terraform-config-inspect package, and so it allows us to
read out the top-level blocks from the configuration while accepting
legacy HCL syntax.
In the long run this will let us do version compatibility detection before
attempting a "real" config load, giving us better error messages for any
future syntax additions, but in the short term the key thing is that it
allows us to install the dependencies even if the configuration isn't
fully valid.
Because backend init still requires full configuration, this introduces a
new mode of terraform init where it detects heuristically if it seems like
we need to do a configuration upgrade and does a partial init if so,
before finally directing the user to run "terraform 0.12upgrade" before
running any other commands.
The heuristic here is based on two assumptions:
- If the "early" loader finds no errors but the normal loader does, the
configuration is likely to be valid for Terraform 0.11 but not 0.12.
- If there's already a version constraint in the configuration that
excludes Terraform versions prior to v0.12 then the configuration is
probably _already_ upgraded and so it's just a normal syntax error,
even if the early loader didn't detect it.
Once the upgrade process is removed in 0.13.0 (users will be required to
go stepwise 0.11 -> 0.12 -> 0.13 to upgrade after that), some of this can
be simplified to remove that special mode, but the idea of doing the
dependency version checks against the liberal parser will remain valuable
to increase our chances of reporting version-based incompatibilities
rather than syntax errors as we add new features in future.
Provider tests often rely on checking values contained within sets, by
directly accessing their flatmapped representation. In order to provider
the test harness with the expected set hashes, the sets must be
generated by the schema.Resource itself.
During the test we now build a fixed map of the providers, which should
only contain schema.Provider instances, and pass them into each
TestStep. The individual schema.Resource instances can then be pulled
from the providers, and used to recreate the state from the cty.Value
returned by the core operations.
Stricter type handling in the new shims may add empty containers into
the state where they were previously elided. Since the detection of
missing and empty containers in the legacy state was never reliable,
allow TestCheckNoResourceAttr to succeed if the key is a container count
index, and the value is "0"
Missing containers were often erroneously kept in the state, but since
the addition of the new provider shims, they can often be correctly
eliminated. There are however many tests that check for a "0" count in
the flatmap state when there shouldn't be a key at all. This addition
looks for a container count key and "0" pair, and allows for the key to
be missing.
There may be some tests negatively effected by this which were
legitimately checking for empty containers, but those were also not
reliably detected, and there should be much fewer tests involved.
Zero values and empty containers can be lost during the shimming
process, and during the provider's Apply step.
If we have known zero value containers and primitives in the source,
which appear as null values in the destination, we copy over the zero
value. Sets (and lists to an extent) are more difficult, since there
before and after indexes may not correlate. In that case we take the
entire container if it's wholly known, expecting the provider to have
correctly handled the value.
Due to incorrect use of a loop iterator variable inside a closure, all of
the given providers were ending up with the same factory function.
Now we copy the factory function to a local within the loop first so that
each iteration has its own variable.
This is the second round of similar bugs in this function, so we'll also
add a test case for it to reduce the risk of future regressions given that
most real callers don't exercise this with multiple providers in practice.
We use a shim to convert from the new state model back to the old because
the provider test API is still using the old API throughout. However, the
shim was not preserving the schema version recorded in the new-style state
and so a round-trip through this shim would cause the schema versions to
all revert to zero.
This can cause trouble with the destroy phase of provider tests because
(for API legacy reasons) we round-trip from old state back to new again
before the destroy phase and thus causing the providers to try to upgrade
from state version zero even though the data was already latest, which
can cause errors because state upgrades are generally not idempotent.
With the introduction of explicit "null" in 0.12 it's possible for a value
that is unknown during plan to become a known null during apply, so we
need to slightly weaken our validation rules to accommodate that, in
particular skipping the validation of conflicting attributes if the result
could potentially be valid after the unknown values become known.
This change is in the codepath that is common to both 0.12 and 0.11
callers, but that's safe because 0.11 re-runs validation during the apply
step and so will still catch problems here, albeit in the apply step
rather than in the plan step, thus matching the 0.12 behavior. This new
behavior is a superset of the old in the sense that everything that was
valid before is still valid.
The implementation here also causes us to skip all other validation for
an attribute whose value is unknown. Most of the downstream validation
functions handle this directly anyway, but again this doesn't add any new
failure cases, and should clean up some of the rough edges we've seen with
unknown values in 0.11 once people upgrade to 0.12-compatible providers.
Any issues we now short-circuit during planning will still be caught
during apply.
While working on this I found that the existing "Not a list" test was not
actually testing the correct behavior, so this also includes a tweak to
that to ensure that it really is checking the "should be a list" path
rather than the "cannot be set" codepath it was inadvertently testing
before.
This causes the output to include additional helpful context such as
the values of variables referenced in the config, etc. The output is in
the same format as normal Terraform CLI error output, though we don't
retain a source code cache in this codepath so it will not include a
source code snippet.
Previously the test harness was preloading schemas from the providers
before running any test steps.
Since terraform.NewContext already deals with loading provider schemas,
we can instead just use the schemas it loaded for our shimming needs,
avoiding the need to reimplement the schema lookup behavior and thus
the need to create a throwaway provider instance with which to do it.
Previously we were running the factory function only once when
constructing the provider resolver, which means that all contexts created
from that resolver share the same provider instance.
Instead now we will call the given factory function once for each
instantiation, ensuring that each caller ends up with a separate object
as would be the case in real-world use.
The added test in this commit, without the fix, will make d.Set return
the following error:
`Invalid address to set: []string{"ports", "0", "set"}`
This was due to the fact that setSet in feild_writer_map tried to
convert a slice into a set by creating a temp set schema and calling
writeField on that with the address(`[]string{"ports", "0", "set"}"` in
this case). However the temp schema was only for the set and not the
whole schema as seen in the address so, it should have been `[]string{"set"}"`
so it would align with the schema.
This commits adds another variable there(tempAddr) which will only
contain the last entry of the address that would be the set key, which
would match the created schema
This commit potentially fixes the problem described in #16331
Any state modifying functions can only be run once during the plan-apply
cycle. When regenerating the Diff during ApplyResourceChange, strip out
all StateFunc and CustomizeDiff functions from the schema.
Thew NewExtra diff field was where config data that was modified by a
StateFunc was stored, and needs to be maintained between plan and apply.
During PlanResourceChange, store any NewExtra data from the Diff in the
PlannedPrivate data, and re-insert the NewExtra data into the Diff
generated during ApplyResourceChange.
Errors were being ignore with the intention that they would be caught
later in validation, but it turns out we nee dto catch those earlier.
The legacy schemas also allowed providers to set and empty string for a
bool value, which we need to handle here, since it's not being handled
from user input like a normal config value.
The rest of Terraform is still using uint64 for this in various spots, but
we'll update that gradually later. We use int64 here because that matches
what's used in our protobuf definition, and unsigned integers are not
portable across all of the protobuf target languages anyway.
When normalizing flatmapped containers, compare the attributes to the
prior state and preserve pre-existing zero-length or unknown values. A
zero-length value that was previously unknown is preserved as a
zero-length value, as that may have been computed as such by the
provider.
Since the SDK's schema system conflates attributes and nested blocks, it's
possible to state some nonsensical schema situations such as:
- A nested block is both optional but has MinItems > 0
- A nested block is entirely computed but has MinItems or MaxItems set
Both of these weird situations are handled here in the same way that the
existing helper/schema validation code would've handled them: by
effectively disabling the MinItems/MaxItems checks where they would've
been ignored before.
the MinItems/MaxItems
The SDK has a mechanism that effectively makes it possible to declare an
attribute as being _conditionally_ required, which is not a concept that
Terraform Core is aware of.
Since this mechanism is in practice only used for a small UX improvement
in prompting for these values interactively when the environment variable
is not set, we avoid here introducing all of this complexity into the
plugin protocol by just having the provider selectively modify its schema
if it detects that such an attribute might be set dynamically.
This then prevents Terraform Core from validating the presence of the
argument or prompting for a new value for it, allowing the null value to
pass through into the provider so that the default value can be generated
again dynamically.
This is a kinda-kludgey solution which we're accepting here because the
alternative would be a much-more-complex two-pass decode operation within
Core itself, and that doesn't seem worth it.
This fixes#19139.
The main significant change here is that the package name for the proto
definition is "tfplugin5", which is important because this name is part
of the wire protocol for references to types defined in our package.
Along with that, we also move the generated package into "internal" to
make it explicit that importing the generated Go package from elsewhere is
not the right approach for externally-implemented SDKs, which should
instead vendor the proto definition they are using and generate their
own stubs to ensure that the wire protocol is the only hard dependency
between Terraform Core and plugins.
After this is merged, any provider binaries built against our
helper/schema package will need to be rebuilt so that they use the new
"tfplugin5" package name instead of "proto".
In a future commit we will include more elaborate and organized
documentation on how an external codebase might make use of our RPC
interface definition to implement an SDK, but the primary concern here
is to ensure we have the right wire package name before release.
In order to prevent mismatched states between read/plan/apply, we need
to ensure that the attributes are generated consistently each time.
Because of the various ways in which helper/schema and the hcl2 shims
interpret empty values, the only way to ensure consistency is to always
remove them altogether.
This makes sure the diff is generated with the matching set ids from
helper/schema.
Update the tests to add ID fields to the state, which will exists in
practice, since any state traversing through the shims will have the ID
inserted.
helper/schema will remove "timeouts" from the config, and stash them in
the diff.Meta map. Terraform sees "timeouts" as a regular config block,
so needs them to be present in the state in order to not show a diff.
Have the GRPCProviderServer shim copy all timeout values into any state
it returns to provide consistent diffs in core.
Resource timeouts were a separate config block, but did not exist in the
resource schema. Insert any defined timeouts when generating the
configshema.Block so that the fields can be accepted and validated by
core.
`Any()` allows any single passing validation of multiple `SchemaValidateFunc` to pass validation to cover cases where a standard validation function does not cover the functionality or to make error messaging simpler.
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.Any(
validation.IntAtLeast(42),
validation.IntAtMost(5),
),
```
`All()` combines the outputs of multiple `SchemaValidateFunc`, to reduce the usage of custom validation functions that implement standard validation functions.
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.All(
StringLenBetween(5, 42),
StringMatch(regexp.MustCompile(`[a-zA-Z0-9]+`), "value must be alphanumeric"),
),
```
`IntInSlice()` is the `int` equivalent of `StringInSlice()`
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.IntInSlice([]int{30, 60, 120})
```
Output from unit testing:
```

The helper/resource unit tests will panic, because they were using the
legacy terraform.MockResourceProvider, which doesn't have the same
internals required by the new GRPC shims.
Fail these tests for now, and a new test provider will need to be made
out of a schema.Provider instance.
Use the new SimpleDiff method of the provider so that the diff isn't
altered by ForceNew attributes.
Always set an "id" as RequiresReplace so core knows an instance will be
replaced, even if all ForceNew attributes are filtered out due to
ignore_changes.
Terraform now handles any actual "diffing" of resource, and the existing
Diff functions are only used to shim the schema.Provider to the new
methods. Since terraform is handling what used to be the Diff, the
provider now should not modify the diff based on RequiresNew due to it
interfering with the ignore_changes handling.
While the schema Diff fucntion returns a nil diff when creating an empty
(except for id) resource, the Apply function expects the diff to be
initialized and ampty.
PlanResourceChange isn't returning the diff, but rather it is returning
the destired state. If the propsed state results in a nil diff, then,
the propsed state is what should be returned.
Make sure Meta fields are not nil, as the schema package expects those
to be initialised.
An earlier change introduced a new function testConfig to the main code
for this package, which conflicted with a function of the same name in
the test code.
Here we rename the function from the test code, allowing for the more
generally-named testConfig to be the one in the main code.
The "id" field is assumed to always exist, and must have a valid value.
Set "id" to unknown when planning new resource changes to indicate that
it will be computed.
Previously we just left these out of the plan altogether, but in the new
plan types we intentionally include change information for every resource
instance, even if no changes are actually planned, to allow alternative
plan file viewers to show what isn't changing as well as what is.
