* command/state list: list resources in nested and expaneded modules
A few distinct bugs fixed in here:
There was a bug in the logic checking if a given module was the child of
the targetAddr, now fixed. That resolved the basic issue where resources
in nested submodules were not listed.
The logic around allowMissing needed some tweaking to allow for empty
modules, as long as those modules had submodules with resources. state
list is the only command using allowMissing with false so this felt safe
to do.
Finally I extended the logic so list would included expanded modules,
which is to say giving module.foo would result in resources from
module.foo[1], module.foo[0], etc.
* update state list docs to show that module filtering includes any nested
modules
Expressions such as "path.root" were returning the cwd (or modulePath),
instead of the usual _relative_ path. This commit normalizes the path
before building the context.
Also uncomment and fix some tests which had been skipped for a couple of
years. Those validate cases work now!
Note that these test cases and the JSON output are not especially
minimized, making them snapshot/golden tests. The output looks correct
at time of writing, and we don't expect to change validate significantly
any time soon, but if we do there will be some churn here.
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.
If a user forgets to specify the source address for a provider, Terraform
will assume they meant a provider in the registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/
namespace. If that ultimately doesn't exist, we'll now try to see if
there's some other provider source address recorded in the registry's
legacy provider lookup table, and suggest it if so.
The error message here is a terse one addressed primarily to folks who are
already somewhat familiar with provider source addresses and how to
specify them. Terraform v0.13 had a more elaborate version of this error
message which directed the user to try the v0.13 automatic upgrade tool,
but we no longer have that available in v0.14 and later so the user must
make the fix themselves.
The upstream bug with opening a browser on Windows Subsystem for Linux
has been fixed, so this reverts our local patch for this. The approach
upstream adds fallback support for x-www-browser and www-browser if
xdg-open fails, and this fixes the problem on WSL.
This reverts commit 12e090ce48.
So far the output command has had a default output format intended for
human consumption and a JSON output format intended for machine
consumption.
However, until Terraform v0.14 the default output format for primitive
types happened to be _almost_ a raw string representation of the value,
and so users started using that as a more convenient way to access
primitive-typed output values from shell scripts, avoiding the need to
also use a tool like "jq" to decode the JSON.
Recognizing that primitive-typed output values are common and that
processing them with shell scripts is common, this commit introduces a new
-raw mode which is explicitly intended for that use-case, guaranteeing
that the result will always be the direct result of a string conversion
of the output value, or an error if no such conversion is possible.
Our policy elsewhere in Terraform is that we always use JSON for
machine-readable output. We adopted that policy because our other
machine-readable output has typically been complex data structures rather
than single primitive values. A special mode seems justified for output
values because it is common for root module output values to be just
strings, and so it's pragmatic to offer access to the raw value directly
rather than requiring a round-trip through JSON.
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
* command/format: concise diff is no longer an experiment
Since state formatting goes through the "diff" printer, I have
repurposed the concise flag as a verbose flag, used only when printing
state. It's silly but it works!
* remove helper/experiment
With this experiment concluded, we no longer need helper/experiment. The
shadow experiment had not been touched in many years, so I removed all
references, and removed the package entirely. Any new experiments are
expected to be configuration experiments handled by our (other)
experiments package.
* check for the verbose flag consistently, in case we end up using it in plans in the future
Along with all of the other information we previously reported in the
"terraform version" output, we'll now include the name of the current
platform as our provider mechanisms represent it.
This is addressing a long-standing minor annoyance where we often can't
tell from an incomplete bug report which platform Terraform was running
on, and incomplete bug reporters do tend to at least include the
"terraform version" output even if they don't also include the requested
full trace log.
However, what motivated doing it _now_ is that anyone building a provider
registry or mirror needs to have some awareness of these platform
identifiers which have been, until v0.13, mostly an implementation detail.
This additional information is a small thing we can do to help registry
builders find out what the platform identifier ought to be for each of
the platforms they aim to support, even if some of them are platforms
which the Go compiler allows but which HashiCorp doesn't officially
support.
The new information is on a line of its own in the output as a pragmatic
way to avoid breaking anyone who might be using something like
$(terraform version | head -n1) to print a brief Terraform version
identifier into some logs. That's not an interface we officially support
for machine consumption, but it's easy to avoid breaking it here and so we
won't do so.
When using the enhanced remote backend, a subset of all Terraform
operations are supported. Of these, only plan and apply can be executed
on the remote infrastructure (e.g. Terraform Cloud). Other operations
run locally and use the remote backend for state storage.
This causes problems when the local version of Terraform does not match
the configured version from the remote workspace. If the two versions
are incompatible, an `import` or `state mv` operation can cause the
remote workspace to be unusable until a manual fix is applied.
To prevent this from happening accidentally, this commit introduces a
check that the local Terraform version and the configured remote
workspace Terraform version are compatible. This check is skipped for
commands which do not write state, and can also be disabled by the use
of a new command-line flag, `-ignore-remote-version`.
Terraform version compatibility is defined as:
- For all releases before 0.14.0, local must exactly equal remote, as
two different versions cannot share state;
- 0.14.0 to 1.0.x are compatible, as we will not change the state
version number until at least Terraform 1.1.0;
- Versions after 1.1.0 must have the same major and minor versions, as
we will not change the state version number in a patch release.
If the two versions are incompatible, a diagnostic is displayed,
advising that the error can be suppressed with `-ignore-remote-version`.
When this flag is used, the diagnostic is still displayed, but as a
warning instead of an error.
Commands which will not write state can assert this fact by calling the
helper `meta.ignoreRemoteBackendVersionConflict`, which will disable the
checks. Those which can write state should instead call the helper
`meta.remoteBackendVersionCheck`, which will return diagnostics for
display.
In addition to these explicit paths for managing the version check, we
have an implicit check in the remote backend's state manager
initialization method. Both of the above helpers will disable this
check. This fallback is in place to ensure that future code paths which
access state cannot accidentally skip the remote version check.
Remove chef, habitat, puppet, and salt-masterless provsioners,
which follows their deprecation. Update the documentatin for these
provisioners to clarify that they have been removed from later versions
of Terraform. Adds the fmt Make target back and updates fmtcheck script
for correctness.
When building a context, we read the dependency locks and ensure that
the provider requirements from the configuration can be satisfied.
If the configured requirements change such that the locks need to be
updated, we explain this and recommend running "terraform init".
This check is ignored for any providers which are locally marked as in
development. This includes unmanaged providers and those listed in the
provider installation `dev_overrides` block.
Core is only using the PrepareProviderConfig call for the validation
part of the method, but we should be re-validating the final config
immediately before Configure.
This change elects to not start using the PreparedConfig here, since
there is no useful reason for it at this point, and it would
introduce a functional difference between terraform releases that can be
avoided.
Previously when printing the relevant variables involved in a failed
expression evaluation we would just skip over unknown values entirely.
There are some errors, though, which are _caused by_ a value being
unknown, in which case it's helpful to show which of the inputs to that
expression were known vs. unknown so that the user can limit their further
investigation only to the unknown ones.
While here I also added a special case for sensitive values that overrides
all other display, because we don't know what about a value is sensitive
and so better to give nothing away at the expense of a slightly less
helpful error message.
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.
