The Exists function can run in a context where the contents of the
template have changed, but it uses the old set of variables from the
state. This means that when the set of variables changes, rendering will
fail in Exists. This was returning an error, but really it just needs to
be treated as a scenario where the template needs re-rendering.
fixes#2344 and possibly a few other template issues floating around
This reworks the template lifecycle a bit such that we get nicer diff
behavior.
First, we tick ForceNew on for both filename and vars, so that the diff
indicates that the template will be "replaced" on change. This is mostly
cosmetic, but it also tracks conceptually with the fact that the
identifier we use is a hash of the contents, so any change essentially
makes a "new resource".
Second, we change the Exists implementation to only return `false` when
there has been a change in the rendered template. This lets descendent
resources see the computed value changing so that they'll properly
trigger in the plan.
Fixes#1898
Refs #1866 (but does not fix, there's another deeper issue there)
AccTests like TestAccComputeInstance_basic_deprecated_network were
failing early on "invalid config" when we are explictly testing behavior
that we know generates warnings.
Do directory expansion on filenames.
Add basic acceptance tests. Code coverage is 72.5%.
Uncovered code is uninteresting and/or impossible error cases.
Note that this required adding a knob to
helper/resource.TestStep to allow transient
resources.
I forgot to add `Computed: true` when I made the "key_name" field
optional in #1751.
This made the behavior:
* Name generated in Create and set as ID
* Follow up plan (without refresh) was nice and empty
* During refresh, name gets cleared out on Read, causing a bad diff on
subsequent plans
We can automatically catch bugs like this if we add yet another
verification step to our resource acceptance tests -> a post
Refresh+Plan that we verify is empty.
I left the non-refresh Plan verification in, because it's important that
_both_ of these are empty after an Apply.
Adds an "alias" field to the provider which allows creating multiple instances
of a provider under different names. This provides support for configurations
such as multiple AWS providers for different regions. In each resource, the
provider can be set with the "provider" field.
(thanks to Cisco Cloud for their support)
Each acceptance test step plays a Refresh, Plan, Apply for a given
config. This adds a follow up Plan and fails the test if it does not
come back empty. This will catch issues with perpetual, unresolvable
diffs that crop up here and there.
This is going to cause a lot of our existing acceptance tests to fail -
too many to roll into a single PR. I think the best plan is to land this
in master and then fix the failures (each of which should be catching a
legitimate provider bug) one by one until we get the provider suites
back to green.
Add `-target=resource` flag to core operations, allowing users to
target specific resources in their infrastructure. When `-target` is
used, the operation will only apply to that resource and its
dependencies.
The calculated dependencies are different depending on whether we're
running a normal operation or a `terraform destroy`.
Generally, "dependencies" refers to ancestors: resources falling
_before_ the target in the graph, because their changes are required to
accurately act on the target.
For destroys, "dependencies" are descendents: those resources which fall
_after_ the target. These resources depend on our target, which is going
to be destroyed, so they should also be destroyed.
