Fixes#27506
Add a new flag `-lockfile=readonly` to `terraform init`.
It would be useful to allow us to suppress dependency lockfile changes
explicitly.
The type of the `-lockfile` flag is string rather than bool, leaving
room for future extensions to other behavior variants.
The readonly mode suppresses lockfile changes, but should verify
checksums against the information already recorded. It should conflict
with the `-upgrade` flag.
Note: In the original use-case described in #27506, I would like to
suppress adding zh hashes, but a test code here suppresses adding h1
hashes because it's easy for testing.

The clistate package includes a Locker interface which provides a simple
way for the local backend to lock and unlock state, while providing
feedback to the user if there is a delay while waiting for the lock.
Prior to this commit, the backend was responsible for initializing the
Locker, passing through direct access to the cli.Ui instance.
This structure prevented commands from implementing different
implementations of the state locker UI. In this commit, we:
- Move the responsibility of creating the appropriate Locker to the
source of the Operation;
- Add the ability to set the context for a Locker via a WithContext
method;
- Replace the Locker's cli.Ui and Colorize members with a StateLocker
view;
- Implement views.StateLocker for human-readable UI;
- Update the Locker interface to return detailed diagnostics instead of
errors, reducing its direct interactions with UI;
- Add a Timeout() method on Locker to allow the remote backend to
continue to misuse the -lock-timeout flag to cancel pending runs.
When an Operation is created, the StateLocker field must now be
populated with an implementation of Locker. For situations where locking
is disabled, this can be a no-op locker.
This change has no significant effect on the operation of Terraform,
with the exception of slightly different formatting of errors when state
locking or unlocking fails.
Several commands continued to support the legacy positional path
argument to specify a working directory. This functionality has been
replaced with the global -chdir flag, which is specified before any
other arguments, including the sub-command name.
This commit removes support for the trailing path parameter from
most commands. The only command which still supports a path argument is
fmt, which also supports "-" to indicate receiving configuration from
standard input.
Any invocation of a command with an invalid trailing path parameter will
result in a short error message, pointing at the -chdir alternative.
There are many test updates in this commit, almost all of which are
migrations from using positional arguments to specify a working
directory. Because of the layer at which these tests run, we are unable
to use the -chdir argument, so the churn in test files is larger than
ideal. Sorry!
We included these warnings in v0.14 after noticing that we'd accidentally
published some incorrect documentation about the purpose of the plugin
cache directory under .terraform/plugins. We switched to using
.terraform/providers instead so that we could treat any missing providers
that appear in the legacy directory as likely to be a result of following
that documentation, and thus produce this extra warning.
However, the further we get from v0.13 the more likely it is for this
warning to be a confusing false positive rather than something helpful,
and this is a non-trivial codepath requiring us to retain a concept that
we otherwise don't need (the "legacy cache dir"), so here we'll remove
those warnings and support code for v0.15 onwards.
These warnings were always accompanied by an error message saying that a
provider could not be found, and that error message remains after this
change. This just removes the "by the way..."-style warning we had been
emitting alongside the errors.
As of Terraform 0.13+, the get-plugins command has been
superceded by new provider installation mechanisms, and
general philosophy (providers are always installed, but
the sources may be customized). Updat the init command
to give users a warning if they are setting this flag,
to encourage them to remove it from their workflow, and
update relevant docs and docstrings as well
For this version of Terraform and forward, we no longer refuse to read
compatible state files written by future versions of Terraform. This is
a commitment that any changes to the semantics or format of the state
file after this commit will require a new state file version 5.
The result of this is that users of this Terraform version will be able
to share remote state with users of future versions, and all users will
be able to read and write state. This will be true until the next major
state file version is required.
This does not affect users of previous versions of Terraform, which will
continue to refuse to read state written by later versions.
Terraform v0.10 introduced .terraform/plugins as a cache directory for
automatically-installed plugins, Terraform v0.13 later reorganized the
directory structure inside but retained its purpose as a cache.
The local cache used to also serve as a record of specifically which
packages were selected in a particular working directory, with the intent
that a second run of "terraform init" would always select the same
packages again. That meant that in some sense it behaved a bit like a
local filesystem mirror directory, even though that wasn't its intended
purpose.
Due to some unfortunate miscommunications, somewhere a long the line we
published some documentation that _recommended_ using the cache directory
as if it were a filesystem mirror directory when working with Terraform
Cloud. That was really only working as an accident of implementation
details, and Terraform v0.14 is now going to break that because the source
of record for the currently-selected provider versions is now the
public-facing dependency lock file rather than the contents of an existing
local cache directory on disk.
After some consideration of how to move forward here, this commit
implements a compromise that tries to avoid silently doing anything
surprising while still giving useful guidance to folks who were previously
using the unsupported strategy. Specifically:
- The local cache directory will now be .terraform/providers rather than
.terraform/plugins, because .terraform/plugins is effectively "poisoned"
by the incorrect usage that we can't reliably distinguish from prior
version correct usage.
- The .terraform/plugins directory is now the "legacy cache directory". It
is intentionally _not_ now a filesystem mirror directory, because that
would risk incorrectly interpreting providers automatically installed
by Terraform v0.13 as if they were a local mirror, and thus upgrades
and checksum fetches from the origin registry would be blocked.
- Because of the previous two points, someone who _was_ trying to use the
legacy cache directory as a filesystem mirror would see installation
fail for any providers they manually added to the legacy directory.
To avoid leaving that user stumped as to what went wrong, there's a
heuristic for the case where a non-official provider fails installation
and yet we can see it in the legacy cache directory. If that heuristic
matches then we'll produce a warning message hinting to move the
provider under the terraform.d/plugins directory, which is a _correct_
location for "bundled" provider plugins that belong only to a single
configuration (as opposed to being installed globally on a system).
This does unfortunately mean that anyone who was following the
incorrectly-documented pattern will now encounter an error (and the
aforementioned warning hint) after upgrading to Terraform v0.14. This
seems like the safest compromise because Terraform can't automatically
infer the intent of files it finds in .terraform/plugins in order to
decide automatically how best to handle them.
The internals of the .terraform directory are always considered
implementation detail for a particular Terraform version and so switching
to a new directory for the _actual_ cache directory fits within our usual
set of guarantees, though it's definitely non-ideal in isolation but okay
when taken in the broader context of this problem, where the alternative
would be silent misbehavior when upgrading.
Previously we were just letting hclwrite do its default formatting
behavior here. The current behavior there isn't ideal anyway -- it puts
big data structures all on one line -- but even ignoring that our goal
for this file format is to keep things in a highly-normalized shape so
that diffs against the file are clear and easy to read.
With that in mind, here we directly control how we write that value into
the file, which means that later changes to hclwrite's list/set
presentation won't affect it, regardless of what form they take.
This changes the approach used by the provider installer to remember
between runs which selections it has previously made, using the lock file
format implemented in internal/depsfile.
This means that version constraints in the configuration are considered
only for providers we've not seen before or when -upgrade mode is active.
helper/copy CopyDir was used heavily in tests. It differes from
internal/copydir in a few ways, the main one being that it creates the
dst directory while the internal version expected the dst to exist
(there are other differences, which is why I did not just switch tests
to using internal's CopyDir).
I moved the CopyDir func from helper/copy into command_test.go; I could
also have moved it into internal/copy and named it something like
CreateDirAndCopy so if that seems like a better option please let me
know.
helper/copy/CopyFile was used in a couple of spots so I moved it into
internal, at which point I thought it made more sense to rename the
package copy (instead of copydir).
There's also a `go mod tidy` included.
We no longer need to support 0.12-and-earlier-style provider addresses
because users should've upgraded their existing configurations and states
on Terraform 0.13 already.
For now this is only checked in the "init" command, because various test
shims are still relying on the idea of legacy providers the core layer.
However, rejecting these during init is sufficient grounds to avoid
supporting legacy provider addresses in the new dependency lock file
format, and thus sets the stage for a more severe removal of legacy
provider support in a later commit.
In earlier commits we started to make the installation codepath
context-aware so that it could be canceled in the event of a SIGINT, but
we didn't complete wiring that through the API of the getproviders
package.
Here we make the getproviders.Source interface methods, along with some
other functions that can make network requests, take a context.Context
argument and act appropriately if that context is cancelled.
The main providercache.Installer.EnsureProviderVersions method now also
has some context-awareness so that it can abort its work early if its
context reports any sort of error. That avoids waiting for the process
to wind through all of the remaining iterations of the various loops,
logging each request failure separately, and instead returns just
a single aggregate "canceled" error.
We can then set things up in the "terraform init" and
"terraform providers mirror" commands so that the context will be
cancelled if we get an interrupt signal, allowing provider installation
to abort early while still atomically completing any local-side effects
that may have started.
When init attempts to install a legacy provider required by state and
fails, but another provider with the same type is successfully
installed, this almost definitely means that the user is migrating an
in-house provider. The solution here is to use the `terraform state
replace-provider` subcommand.
This commit makes that next step clearer, by detecting this specific
case, and displaying a list of commands to fix the existing state
provider references.
When loading a backend config override file, init was doing two things
wrong:
- First, if the file failed to parse, we accidentally didn't return,
which caused a panic due to the parsed body being nil;
- Secondly, we were overzealous with the validation of the file,
allowing only attributes. While most backend configs are attributes
only, the enhanced remote backend body also contains a `workspaces`
block, which we need to support here.
This commit fixes the first bug with an early return and adds test cases
for missing file and intentionally-blank filename (to clear the config).
We also add a schema validation for the backend block, based on the
backend schema itself. This requires constructing an HCL body schema so
that we can call `Content` and check for diagnostic errors.
The result is more useful errors when an invalid backend config override
file is used, while also supporting the enhanced remote backend config
fully.
Does not include tests specific to the remote backend, because the
mocking involved to allow the backend to fully initialize is too
involved to be worth it.
If a module has multiple terraform.required_version constraints, any
failures would point at the last constraint in the error diagnostics. If
an earlier constraint was the actual problem, this leads to confusing
errors like this:
Error: Unsupported Terraform Core version
on main.tf line 6, in terraform:
6: required_version = ">= 0.13.0"
This configuration does not support Terraform version 0.13.0.
The error was due to storing the declaration range of the constraint as
a pointer to the contents of a loop variable, which was later
overwritten in later iterations of the loop. Instead we now use HCL's
handy Ptr() method to create a direct pointer to the range struct.
Most of the state package has been deprecated by the states package.
This PR replaces all the references to the old state package that
can be done simply - the low-hanging fruit.
* states: move state.Locker to statemgr
The state.Locker interface was a wrapper around a statemgr.Full, so
moving this was relatively straightforward.
* command: remove unnecessary use of state package for writing local terraform state files
* move state.LocalState into terraform package
state.LocalState is responsible for managing terraform.States, so it
made sense (to me) to move it into the terraform package.
* slight change of heart: move state.LocalState into clistate instead of
terraform
For Terraform v0.12 we introduced a special loading mode where we would
use the 0.11-syntax-compatible "earlyconfig" package as a heuristic to
identify situations where it was likely that the user was trying to use
0.11-only syntax that the upgrade tool might help with.
However, as the language has moved on that is no longer a suitable
heuristic in Terraform 0.13 and later: other new additions to the
language can cause the main loader to disagree with earlyconfig, which
would lead us to give poor advice about how to respond.
Instead, we'll now return the same generic "there are errors" message in
all syntax error cases. We have an extra message for errors in this
case (as compared to other commands) because "terraform init" is usually
the first command a new user interacts with and so this message gives some
extra explanation about what "terraform init" will do with the
configuration once it's valid.
This also includes a reset control character in the output of the message
as part of our ongoing mission to stop Terraform printing out whole
paragraphs of colored text, which can often be hard to read for various
reasons.
After installing providers, we validate the presence of an executable
file, and generate a selected versions lockfile. If this process fails,
notify the user. One possible cause for this is an invalid provider
package with a missing or misnamed executable file.
Instead of searching the installed provider package directory for a
binary as we install it, we can lazily detect the executable as it is
required. Doing so allows us to separately report an invalid unpacked
package, giving the user more actionable error messages.
* command/init: return an error with invalid -backend-config files
The -backend-config flag expects a set of key-value pairs or a file
containing key-value pairs. If the file instead contains a full backend
configuration block, it was silently ignored. This commit adds a check
for blocks in the file and returns an error if they are encountered.
Fixes#24845
* emphasize backend configuration file in docs
* internal/getproviders: decode and return any registry warnings
The public registry may include a list of warnings in the "versions"
response for any given provider. This PR adds support for warnings from
the registry and an installer event to return those warnings to the
user.
When using `-flag=value` with Powershell, unquoted values are broken
into separate arguments. This means that the following command:
terraform init -backend-config=./backend.conf
is interpreted by Terraform as:
terraform init -backend-config= ./backend.conf
This results in an empty backend-config setting (which is semantically
valid!) followed by a custom configuration path (pointing at a file).
Due to a bug where we could exit without printing diagnostics, this
would result in a silent failure that was very difficult to diagnose.
When initializing a configuration which refers to re-namespaced legacy
providers, we attempt to detect this and display a diagnostic message.
Previously this message would direct the user to run the 0.13upgrade
command, but without specifying in which directories.
This commit detects which modules are using the providers in question,
and for local modules displays a list of upgrade commands which specify
the source directories of these modules.
For remote modules, we display a separate list noting that they need to
be upgraded elsewhere, providing both the local module call name and the
module source address.
Fetching a default namespace provider from the public registry can
result in 404 Not Found error. This might be caused by a previously-
default provider moving to a new namespace, which means that the
configuration needs to be upgraded to use an explicit provider source.
This commit adds a more detailed diagnostic for this situation,
suggesting that the intended provider might be in a new namespace. The
recommended course of action is to run the 0.13upgrade command to
generate the correct required_providers configuration.
Relying on the early config for provider requirements was necessary in
Terraform 0.12, to allow the 0.12upgrade command to run after init
installs providers.
However in 0.13, the same restrictions do not apply, and the detection
of provider requirements has changed. As a result, the early config
loader gives incorrect provider requirements in some circumstances,
such as those in the new test in this commit.
Therefore we are changing the init command to use the requirements found
by the full configuration loader. This also means that we can remove the
internal initwd CheckCoreVersionRequirements function.
* internal/providercache: verify that the provider protocol version is
compatible
The public registry includes a list of supported provider protocol
versions for each provider version. This change adds verification of
support and adds a specific error message pointing users to the closest
matching version.
Providers installed from the registry are accompanied by a list of
checksums (the "SHA256SUMS" file), which is cryptographically signed to
allow package authentication. The process of verifying this has multiple
steps:
- First we must verify that the SHA256 hash of the package archive
matches the expected hash. This could be done for local installations
too, in the future.
- Next we ensure that the expected hash returned as part of the registry
API response matches an entry in the checksum list.
- Finally we verify the cryptographic signature of the checksum list,
using the public keys provided by the registry.
Each of these steps is implemented as a separate PackageAuthentication
type. The local archive installation mechanism uses only the archive
checksum authenticator, and the HTTP installation uses all three in the
order given.
The package authentication system now also returns a result value, which
is used by command/init to display the result of the authentication
process.
There are three tiers of signature, each of which is presented
differently to the user:
- Signatures from the embedded HashiCorp public key indicate that the
provider is officially supported by HashiCorp;
- If the signing key is not from HashiCorp, it may have an associated
trust signature, which indicates that the provider is from one of
HashiCorp's trusted partners;
- Otherwise, if the signature is valid, this is a community provider.
The fake installable package meta used a ZIP archive which gave
different checksums between macOS and Linux targets. This commit removes
the target from the contents of this archive, and updates the golden
hash value in the test to match. This test should now pass on both
platforms.
Built-in providers are special providers that are distributed as part of
Terraform CLI itself, rather than being installed separately. They always
live in the terraform.io/builtin/... namespace so it's easier to see that
they are special, and currently there is only one built-in provider named
"terraform".
Previous commits established the addressing scheme for built-in providers.
This commit makes the installer aware of them to the extent that it knows
not to try to install them the usual way and it's able to report an error
if the user requests a built-in provider that doesn't exist or tries to
impose a particular version constraint for a built-in provider.
For the moment the tests for this are the ones in the "command" package
because that's where the existing testing infrastructure for this
functionality lives. A later commit should add some more focused unit
tests here in the internal/providercache package, too.
In the new design the ProviderSource is decided by package main, not by
the "command" package, and so making sure the vendor directory is included
is the responsibility of that package instead. Therefore we can no longer
test this at the "command" package level, but we'll retain a test for it
in e2etests to record that it isn't currently working, so that we have
a prompt to fix it before releasing.
Both of these are attempting to test -plugin-dir, which means we need some
additional help to populate some suitable directories for -plugin-dir to
refer to. The new installFakeProviderPackagesElsewhere helper generalizes
the earlier installFakeProviderPackages to allow installing fake provider
packages to an arbitrary other directory.
This test is focused on making sure that the required_providers syntax
is working, so the rewritten version does not include any special handling
of pre-installed packages or "vendored" packages. Pre-installed plugins
are tested in other tests such as TestInit_getUpgradePlugins.
This test now requires a bit of a different approach because it was
previously directly constructing a cache directory but we now use a
different directory layout.
Rather than manually constructing the new heirarchical directory layout
(which would've required a lot more inline code), this introduces a helper
function installFakeProviderPackages that installs a fake provider package
directly into the local cache directory associated with a Meta object,
with the correct directory layout.
They still aren't passing, but this is just enough updating to make the
test program compile successfully after the refactoring related to
provider installation. They are now using the mock provider source offered
by the getproviders package, which is similar but not totally identical
to the idea of mocking the entire installer as these tests used to do, and
so many of them need further adjustment to still be testing what they
intended to test under this new architecture.
Subsequent commits will gradually repair the failing tests.
missingPlugins was hard-coded to work only with provider plugins, so I
renamed it to clarify the usage.
Also renamed a test provider from greater_than to greater-than as the
underscore is an invalid provider name character and this will become a
hard error in the near future.
The formatter in `command/format/state.go`, when formatting a resource
with an aliased provider, was looking for a schema with the alias (ie,
test.foo), but the schemas are only listed by provider type (test).
Update the state formatter to lookup schemas by provider type only.
Some of the show tests (and a couple others) were not properly cleaning
up the created tmpdirs, so I fixed those. Also, the show tests are using
a statefile named `state.tfstate`, but were not passing that path to the
show command, so we were getting some false positives (a `show` command
that returns `no state` exits 0).
Fixes#21462
* deps: bump terraform-config-inspect library
* configs: parse `version` in new required_providers block
With the latest version of `terraform-config-inspect`, the
required_providers attribute can now be a string or an object with
attributes "source" and "version". This change allows parsing the
version constraint from the new object while ignoring any given source attribute.
* command/init: omit a warning if -backend-config is used with no backend
block
Terraform would silently accept - and swallow - `-backend-config` on the
CLI when there was no `backend` block. Since it is mostly expected to
override existing backend configuration, terraform
should omit a warning if there is no backend configuration to
override.
If the user intended to override the default (local) backend
configuration, they can first add a `backend` block to the `terraform` block to silence the warning (or just ignore it):
```hcl
terraform {
backend "local" {}
}
```
There is currently no way to unset -backend-config during init, since
not setting that option assumes the user will use the saved config.
Allow setting `-backend-config=""` to specify no overrides.
The backend gets to "prepare" the configuration before Configure is
called, in order to validate the values and insert defaults. We don't
want to store this value in the "config state", because it will often
not match the raw config after it is prepared, forcing unecessary
backend migrations during init.
Since PrepareConfig is always called before Configure, we can store the
config value directly, and assume that it will be prepared in the same
manner each time.
If the backend config hashes match during init, and there are no new
backend override options, then we assume the existing config is OK.
Since init should be idempotent, we should be able to run init with no
options or config changes, and not effect the backends at all.
