Although this command is removed in Terraform 0.13, our documentation is
for all versions of Terraform that remain in common use and keeping this
documented will be helpful for folks who are still using Terraform 0.11
and planning their upgrades to Terraform 0.12.
Both of the upgrade commands now include notes that they are only
available in their specific major version, along with a link to the
relevant upgrade guide for other background information about the upgrade,
in case the user finds the command documentation first. (The command docs
are, I think, a little more discoverable than the upgrade guides.)
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.
* command: adjust exit code of state rm and state mv
Commands `state rm` and `state mv` will now exit with code 1 when the
target resource is not found in the current state.
This is consistent with `terraform state show non_existent_resource`.
Fixes#17800
The functions that interact with the filesystem are, by design, restricted
to reading files that are distributed as a static part of the
configuration, and cannot be used to interact with files that are
generated dynamically by resources in the configuration.
However, new users have often yet developed a correct mental model of how
Terraform execution works and are confused by the terse error messages
these functions return. As an interim step to help some of those users,
this just adds some more commentary to the error message which gives a
vague, generic directive to look to attributes of the resource that is
generating the file, which should (if it's designed well) export
attributes that allow the resulting file to be used effectively with
common patterns, such as checksums of the content of the generated file.
The error message here is not particularly attractive due to the
limitations of the context where it's being returned from, but I'm
accepting that here in the interest of keeping this change simple, so we
can give a hint about a case that seems to frequently generate new-user
questions. We may iterate further on the presentation of this message
later.
This simplifies the initial targeting logic, and removes the complex
algorithm for finding descendants that result in output changes, which
hid bugs that failed with modules.
The targeting is handled in 2 phases. First we find all individual
resource nodes that are targeted, then add all their dependencies to the
set of targets. This in essence is all we need for targeting, and is
straightforward to understand.
The next phase is to add any root module outputs that can be solely
derived from the set of targeted resources. There is currently no way to
target outputs themselves, so this is how we can allow these to be
updated as part of a target.
Rather than attempting to backtrack through the graph to find candidate
outputs, requiring each node on the chain to properly advertise if it
could be traversed, then backtracking again to determine if the
candidate is valid (which often got "off course"), we can start directly
from the outputs themselves. The algorithm here is simpler: if all the
root output's resource dependencies are targeted, add that output and
its dependencies to the targeted set.
When parsing provider requirements we should check the type of the
source and version attributes rather than assuming that they are
strings. Otherwise an invalid attribute value will cause a panic.
We previously intentionally removed support for the allow-missing-config
option to terraform import, requiring that all imported resources have
matching config. See #24412.
However, the option was not removed from the import command, and it is
widely used. This commit reintroduces support for importing with a
missing configuration by falling back to implying the provider FQN based
on the resource type.
In a recent PR, we changed the provider requirements code to permit
per-module requirements gathering, to enhance the provider command
output. This had an incorrect implementation of recursive requirements
gathering for the normal case, which resulted in only depth-1 modules
being inspected.
This commit fixes the broken recursion and adds a grandchild module to
the unit tests as test coverage. This also demanded fixing the
testNestedModuleConfigFromDir helper function to cope with nested
modules in test configs.
If a data source is storing a value that doesn't comply precisely with
the schema, it will now show up as a perpetual diff during plan.
Since we can easily detect if there is no resulting change from the
stored value, rather than presenting a planned read each time, we can
change the plan to a NoOp and log the incongruity as a warning.
When using `-flag=value` with Powershell, unquoted values are broken
into separate arguments. This means that the following command:
terraform init -backend-config=./backend.conf
is interpreted by Terraform as:
terraform init -backend-config= ./backend.conf
This results in an empty backend-config setting (which is semantically
valid!) followed by a custom configuration path (pointing at a file).
Due to a bug where we could exit without printing diagnostics, this
would result in a silent failure that was very difficult to diagnose.
Some of the tests in the command package were running directly on the
fixture directories, and modifying or locking files within them. This
could cause state to leak between tests.
This commit cleans up all such cases that I could find.
We previously covered everything about using providers on a single page,
but that was getting unwieldy already and we now have a lot more to
discuss with v0.13 introducing a new source address syntax and some other
concepts.
Here we split the provider-related content into two parts: "Provider
Requirements" covers how to find and declare dependencies on providers,
and then "Provider Configuration" (formerly just "Providers") then focuses
primarily on how to write zero or more provider configurations for a
particular provider.
Because "Provider Requirements" is now presented before "Provider
Configuration" in the navigation, I've also moved some of the introductory
content about providers in general onto the "Requirements" page. The
first paragraph of that content is duplicated onto the "Configuration"
page for discoverability, but we now link to the requirements page to get
the full story.
The "Configuration Language" section was becoming rather unweildy, both
by having a lot of pages and by some of the pages being quite large in
themselves.
This is a first step towards breaking things up a little more, starting
with two changes:
- The "Configuration Language" navigation is now split into two
sub-headings "Configuration Blocks" and "Syntax".
- Some of the information about sub-blocks of the "terraform" block are
now given their own pages, because their content is quite complex
in itself.
- "Version Constraints" is now a page in its own right, rather than this
content being duplicated in slightly different forms across multiple
contexts that make use of user-specified version constraints.
