This PR extends jsonprovider to support attributes with NestedTypes and extends test coverage in jsonprovider and the providers schemas tests. I've also cleaned up some comments and extracted the logic to parse the nesting mode so it can be used in both marshalling blocks and attributes.
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.

This is just a prototype to gather some feedback in our ongoing research
on integration testing of Terraform modules. The hope is that by having a
command integrated into Terraform itself it'll be easier for interested
module authors to give it a try, and also easier for us to iterate quickly
based on feedback without having to coordinate across multiple codebases.
Everything about this is subject to change even in future patch releases.
Since it's a CLI command rather than a configuration language feature it's
not using the language experiments mechanism, but generates a warning
similar to the one language experiments generate in order to be clear that
backward compatibility is not guaranteed.
Errors encountered when parsing flags for apply, plan, and refresh were
being suppressed. This resulted in a generic usage error when using an
invalid `-target` flag.
This commit makes several changes to address this. First, these commands
now output the flag parse error before exiting, leaving at least some
hint about the error. You can verify this manually with something like:
terraform apply -invalid-flag
We also change how target attributes are parsed, moving the
responsibility from the flags instance to the command. This allows us to
customize the diagnostic output to be more user friendly. The
diagnostics now look like:
```shellsession
$ terraform apply -no-color -target=foo
Error: Invalid target "foo"
Resource specification must include a resource type and name.
```
Finally, we add test coverage for both parsing of target flags, and at
the command level for successful use of resource targeting. These tests
focus on the UI output (via the change summary and refresh logs), as the
functionality of targeting is covered by the context tests in the
terraform package.
The JSON plan output format includes a serialized, simplified version of
the configuration. One component of this config is a map of provider
configurations, which includes version constraints.
Until now, only version constraints specified in the provider config
blocks were exposed in the JSON plan output. This is a deprecated method
of specifying provider versions, and the recommended use of a
required_providers block resulted in the version constraints being
omitted.
This commit fixes this with two changes:
- When processing the provider configurations from a module, output the
fully-merged version constraints for the entire module, instead of any
constraints set in the provider configuration block itself;
- After all provider configurations are processed, iterate over the
required_providers entries to ensure that any configuration-less
providers are output to the JSON plan too.
No changes are necessary to the structure of the JSON plan output, so
this is effectively a semantic level bug fix.
* 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
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.
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.
In Terraform 0.11 and earlier, the "terraform fmt" command was very
opinionated in the interests of consistency. While that remains its goal,
for pragmatic reasons Terraform 0.12 significantly reduced the number
of formatting behaviors in the fmt command. We've held off on introducing
0.12-and-later-flavored cleanups out of concern it would make it harder
to maintain modules that are cross-compatible with both Terraform 0.11
and 0.12, but with this aimed to land in 0.14 -- two major releases
later -- our new goal is to help those who find older Terraform language
examples learn about the more modern idiom.
More rules may follow later, now that the implementation is set up to
allow modifications to tokens as well as modifications to whitespace, but
for this initial pass the command will now apply the following formatting
conventions:
- 0.11-style quoted variable type constraints will be replaced with their
0.12 syntax equivalents. For example, "string" becomes just string.
(This change quiets a deprecation warning.)
- Collection type constraints that don't specify an element type will
be rewritten to specify the "any" element type explicitly, so
list becomes list(any).
- Arguments whose expressions consist of a quoted string template with
only a single interpolation sequence inside will be "unwrapped" to be
the naked expression instead, which is functionally equivalent.
(This change quiets a deprecation warning.)
- Block labels are given in quotes.
Two of the rules above are coming from a secondary motivation of
continuing down the deprecation path for two existing warnings, so authors
can have two active deprecation warnings quieted automatically by
"terraform fmt", without the need to run any third-party tools.
All of these rules match with current documented idiom as shown in the
Terraform documentation, so anyone who follows the documented style should
see no changes as a result of this. Those who have adopted other local
style will see their configuration files rewritten to the standard
Terraform style, but it should not make any changes that affect the
functionality of the configuration.
There are some further similar rewriting rules that could be added in
future, such as removing 0.11-style quotes around various keyword or
static reference arguments, but this initial pass focused only on some
rules that have been proven out in the third-party tool
terraform-clean-syntax, from which much of this commit is a direct port.
For now this doesn't attempt to re-introduce any rules about vertical
whitespace, even though the 0.11 "terraform fmt" would previously apply
such changes. We'll be more cautious about those because the results of
those rules in Terraform 0.11 were often sub-optimal and so we'd prefer
to re-introduce those with some care to the implications for those who
may be using vertical formatting differences for some semantic purpose,
like grouping together related arguments.
Despite not requiring the configuration for any other reason, the taint
subcommand should not execute if the required_version constraints cannot
be met. Doing so can result in an undesirable state file upgrade.
The providers schema command is using the Config.ProviderTypes method,
which had not been kept up to date with the changes to provider
requirements detection made in Config.ProviderRequirements. This
resulted in any currently-unused providers being omitted from the
output.
This commit changes the ProviderTypes method to use the same underlying
logic as ProviderRequirements, which ensures that `required_providers`
blocks are taken into account.
Includes an integration test case to verify that this fixes the provider
schemas command bug.
The prior state recorded in the plans did not match the actual prior
state. Make the plans and state match depending on whether there was
existing state or not.
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.
If a provider changes namespace in the registry, we can detect this when
running the 0.13upgrade command. As long as there is a version matching
the user's constraints, we now use the provider's new source address.
Otherwise, warn the user that the provider has moved and a version
upgrade is necessary to move to it.
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.
Include the import walk in the list of operations for which we create an
EvalModuleCallArgument node. This causes module call arguments to be
evaluated even if the module variables have defaults, ensuring that
invalid default values (such as the common "{}" for variables thought of
as maps) do not cause failures specific to import.
This fixes a bug where a child module evaluates an input variable in its
locals block, assuming that it is a nested object structure. The bug
report includes a default value of "{}", which is overridden by a root
variable value. Without the eval node added in this commit, the default
value is used and the local evaluation errors.
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
A lingering FIXME caused missing configuration from provider config
blocks in the json output of terraform plan. This fixes the regression
and adds a test. For the sake of testing, I added an optional attribute
to the show test provider, which resulted in the providers schema test
getting an update - not a bad addition, but we can always add a
test-specific provider schema as needed.
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.
* 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
Previously, any comments inside the required provider configuration for
a given provider would be wiped out upon rerunning the 0.13upgrade
command. This commit attempts to preserve those comments if the existing
entry is semantically equivalent to the entry we are about to write.
This new version permits omitting the space between the operator and the
boundary in a ruby-style version constraint, like ">1.0.0" instead of
"> 1.0.0".
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.
Providers can be required from multiple sources. The previous
implementation of the providers sub-command displayed only a flat list
of provider requirements, which made it difficult to see which modules
required each provider.
This commit reintroduces the tree display of provider requirements, and
adds a separate output block for providers required by existing state.
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.
If a configuration had multiple blocks in the versions.tf file, it would
be added to the `rewritePaths` list multiple times. We would then remove
it from this slice, but only once, and so the output file would later be
rewritten to remove the required providers block.
This commit uses a set instead of a list to prevent this case, and adds
a regression test.
Instead of using providers.tf as the default output file for the
upgrader, we now default to versions.tf. This means that if the
configuration has no `required_providers` blocks at all, or has
multiple, the provider version requirements will be stored in the
versions.tf file.
We now also update the versions.tf file to set a `required_version`
attribute in the first `terraform` block, with value ">= 0.13". This
is similar to the behaviour of the 0.12upgrade command, and signals that
the configuration should not be used with older versions of Terraform.
