Just wanted to call out that the CLI prompts for values for unset variables instead of an error. Guessing that was an enhancement somewhere along the line and just didn't get updated in the docs.
adminPassword
The Azure API never returns the AdminPAssword (as is correct) from the
Read API call. Therefore on Create, we do not set the AdminPassword of
the vm as part of the state. The Same func is used for Create & Update,
therefore when we changed anything on the VM, we were getting the
following error:
```
statusCode:Conflict
serviceRequestId:f498a6c8-6e7a-420f-9788-400f18078921
statusMessage:{"error":{"code":"PropertyChangeNotAllowed","target":"adminPassword","message":"Changing property 'adminPassword' is not allowed."}}
```
To fix this, we need to excldue the AdminPassword from the Update func
if it is empty
On Create, notify_no_data was being ignored.
On Read and Update, no_data_timeframe was being misused.
There was also a redundant read of escalation_message on Create.
For a long time now, the diff logic has relied on the behavior of
`mapstructure.WeakDecode` to determine how various primitives are
converted into strings. The `schema.DiffString` function is used for
all primitive field types: TypeBool, TypeInt, TypeFloat, and TypeString.
The `mapstructure` library's string representation of booleans is "0"
and "1", which differs from `strconv.FormatBool`'s "false" and "true"
(which is used in writing out boolean fields to the state).
Because of this difference, diffs have long had the potential for
cosmetically odd but semantically neutral output like:
"true" => "1"
"false" => "0"
So long as `mapstructure.Decode` or `strconv.ParseBool` are used to
interpret these strings, there's no functional problem.
We had our first clear functional problem with #6005 and friends, where
users noticed diffs like the above showing up unexpectedly and causing
troubles when `ignore_changes` was in play.
This particular bug occurs down in Terraform core's EvalIgnoreChanges.
There, the diff is modified to account for ignored attributes, and
special logic attempts to handle properly the situation where the
ignored attribute was going to trigger a resource replacement. That
logic relies on the string representations of the Old and New fields in
the diff to be the same so that it filters properly.
So therefore, we now get a bug when a diff includes `Old: "0", New:
"false"` since the strings do not match, and `ignore_changes` is not
properly handled.
Here, we introduce `TypeBool`-specific normalizing into `finalizeDiff`.
I spiked out a full `diffBool` function, but figuring out which pieces
of `diffString` to duplicate there got hairy. This seemed like a simpler
and more direct solution.
Fixes#6005 (and potentially others!)
- Addresses the issue when local state file has logging_config populated and the user
disables the configuration via the UI (or in this case an
application of the TF config). This will now properly set the
logging_config during the read operation and identify the state as
diverging
Fixes#6390
