A couple of bugs have been discovered in ResourceDiff.ForceNew:
* NewRemoved is not preserved when a diff for a key is already present.
This is because the second diff that happens after customization
performs a second getChange on not just state and config, but also on
the pre-existing diff. This results in Exists == true, meaning nil is
never returned as a new value.
* ForceNew was doing the work of adding the key to the list of changed
keys by doing a full SetNew on the existing value. This has a side
effect of fetching zero values from what were otherwise undefined values
and creating diffs for these values where there should not have been
(example: "" => "0").
This update fixes these scenarios by:
* Adding a new private function to check the existing diff for
NewRemoved keys. This is included in the check on new values in
diffChange.
* Keys that have been flagged as ForceNew (or parent keys of lists and
sets that have been flagged as ForceNew) are now maintained in a
separate map. UpdatedKeys now returns the results of both of these maps,
but otherwise these keys are ignored by ResourceDiff.
* Pursuant the above, values are no longer pushed into the newDiff
writer by ForceNew. This prevents the zero value problem, and makes for
a cleaner implementation where the provider has to "manually" SetNew to
update the appropriate values in the writer. It also prevents
non-computed keys from winding up in the diff, which ResourceDiff
normally blocks by design.
There are also a couple of tests for cases that should never come up
right now involving Optional/Computed values and NewRemoved, for which
explanations are given in annotations of each test. These are here to
guard against future regressions.
Added some more context to GetOkExists, moved Computed to NewValueKnown
to accommodate some changes that will be coming up in HCL2 that may make
"Computed" less intuitive of a function name, and updated the docs for
NewValueKnown as well.
This adds a new method to ResourceDiff: Computed, which exposes the
computed read result field to ResourceDiff. In the context of
customizing the diff, this is important as interpolated and otherwise
computed values will show up in the diff as blank, with no way of
determining if the value is actually blank or if it's a computed value
not available at diff customization time. Currently assumptions need to
be made on this, but this does not help in validation scenarios where
one needs to differentiate between an actual blank value and a value
that will be available later.
This is exposed for the most part via NewComputed in the diff, but the
tests cover both the config reader as well (with no diff, even though
this should not come up in normal operation) and also the newDiff reader
when someone sets a new value using SetNew and SetNewComputed.
This commit also exposes GetOkExists. The tests were mostly pulled from
ResourceData but a few were added to ensure that config was being
properly covered as well, in addition to covering SetNew and
SetNewComputed.
This fixes nil pointer issues that could come up if an invalid key was
referenced (ie: not one in the schema). Also ships a helper validation
function to streamline things.
The consensus is that it's a generally better idea to move setting the
functionality of old values completely to the refresh/read process,
hence it's moot to have this function around anymore. This also means we
don't need the old value reader/writer anymore, which simplifies things.
Final set of coverage for ResourceDiff and bug fixes to correct issues
the test cases brought up.
Will be dropping ClearAll in next commit, as with how this interface is
intended to be used, it does not really make much sense.
The beginning of tests for SetNew. Noticed that removed values are not
logged for computed keys in a diff - not too sure if that is going to be
a problem (possibly not as GetChange in ResourceData should still
reference state for the old value). I came on this most notably in the
"TestSetNew/complex-ish_set_diff" test, for reference.
More tests pending for other functions for coverage of other functions
and test cases as defined in #8769.
