The tainted state was checked against `cty.NilVal`, however it was
always being set to a null value.
The refreshed state value was being shadowed, and not used in the
following plan.
The existing context test files are becoming quite unwieldy.
Start new ones both to make editing easier, and to help discourage the
copy+pasting of older test patterns we no longer need.
This was not done consistently in all cases when the individual
provisioner graph nodes were used. Since we removed the graph nodes, the
only thing left is to close these at the end of the walk.
Provisioners are always run via a single instance, and their
configuration and references are taken care of via their parent
resource, so there is no need to maintain the provisioner graph nodes.
The only action that will still need to be completed is calling the
Close method for external plugins. This was not consistently done with
the current handling of provisioners anyway, and we can now add that to
a single point with the new CloseProvisioners context method.
InitProvisioner only stored the provisioner in the cache and provided a
way to return an error. We can push this back further into the cli init
process, but for now we can move the error into the Provisioner call and
drop InitProvisioner.
This also changes CloseProvisioner to CloseProvisioners, in preparation
for the removal of the graph nodes.
Previously the state migration process was using the fallback strict
error check when migrating to or from a Terraform Cloud workspace. This
resulted in an error when running init if the local and remote Terraform
versions did not exactly match.
This was excessively strict. When migrating from a remote Terraform
Cloud workspace to local state, there is no need for a version check at
all, as we cannot break the Terraform Cloud workspace. When migrating
to Terraform Cloud, we should use the more forgiving check, rather than
the strict equality.
This commit fixes both of these cases accordingly, and allows migrating
state to and from Terraform Cloud remote workspaces without errors.
I frequently see people attempting to ask questions about Terraform's
error and warning messages but either only copying part of the message or
accidentally copying a surrounding paragraph that isn't part of the
message.
While I'm sure some of these are just "careless" mistakes, I've also
noticed that this has sometimes overlapped with someone asking a question
whose answer is written directly in the part of the message they didn't
include when copying, and so I have a theory that our current output
doesn't create a good enough visual hierarchy for sighted users to
understand where the diagnostic messages start and end when we show them
in close proximity to other content, or to other diagnostic messages.
As a result, some folks fail to notice the relevant message that might've
answered their question.
I tried a few different experiments for different approaches here, such
as adding more horizontal rules to the output and coloring the detail
text differently, but the approach that felt like the nicest compromise
to me was what's implemented here, which is to add a vertical line
along the left edge of each diagnostic message, colored to match with the
typical color we use for each diagnostic severity. This means that the
diagnostics end up slightly indented from what's around them, and the
vertical line seems to help subtly signal how we intended the content
to be grouped together.
Rather than using a prior value of null to indicate create, which is
imprecise because null is a valid output value, only plan values that
didn't exist in the prior state as Create changes.
The planning logic here was inspired by resources, but unlike resources
a null value is valid for an output and does not necessarily indicate it
is being removed. If both before and after are null, the change should
be NoOp. When an output is removed from the configuration, we have a
separate node to create a Delete action to remove it from the state.
This task relied on using `wget` to spider the entire site, which is no longer a
useful way of checking for broken links on a non-production instance of
terraform.io. Also, it didn't include a step for pausing until the server came
online, so the task wouldn't have functioned properly anyway.
In some terminal emulators, writing a character into the last column on a
row causes the terminal to immediately wrap to the beginning of the next
line, even if the very next character in the stream is a hard newline.
That can then lead to errant blank lines in the final output which make
it harder to navigate the visual hierarchy.
As a compromise to avoid this, we'll format our horizontal rules and
paragraphs to one column less than the terminal width. That does mean that
our horizontal rules won't _quite_ cover the whole terminal width, but
it seems like a good compromise in order to get consistent behavior across
a wider variety of terminal implementations.
We were previously using some ASCII art to create some visual divisions
between parts of the diagnostic output. Now that we are requiring a UTF-8
terminal we can print out box drawing characters instead.
We now require the output to accept UTF-8 and we can determine how wide
the terminal (if any) is, so here we begin to make use of that for the
"terraform plan" command.
The horizontal rule is now made of box drawing characters instead of
hyphens and fills the whole terminal width.
The paragraphs of text in the output are now also wrapped to fill the
terminal width, instead of the hard-wrapping we did before.
This is just a start down the road of making better use of the terminal
capabilities. Lots of other commands could benefit from updates like these
too.
Here we propagate in the initialized terminal.Streams from package main,
and then onwards to backends running in CLI mode.
This also replaces our use of helper/wrappedstreams to determine whether
stdin is a terminal or a pipe. helper/wrappedstreams returns incorrect
file descriptors on Windows, causing StdinPiped to always return false on
that platform and thus causing one of the odd behaviors discussed in
Finally, this includes some wrappers around the ability to look up the
number of columns in the terminal in preparation for use elsewhere. These
wrappers deal with the fact that our unit tests typically won't populate
meta.Streams.
We need to call into terminal.Init in early startup to make sure that we
either have a suitable Terminal or that we disable attempts to use virtual
terminal escape sequences.
This commit gets the terminal initialized but doesn't do much with it
after that. Subsequent commits will make more use of this.
This is a helper package that creates a very thin abstraction over
terminal setup, with the main goal being to deal with all of the extra
setup we need to do in order to get a UTF-8-supporting virtual terminal
on a Windows system.
This adds a CI job for running the new PR link checker for documentation.
[terraform-website PR 1574](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website/pull/1574)
added a new link checking CI job specifically for warning about broken links in
pull requests. This link checker is optimized for:
- Running (relatively) quickly.
- Only reporting on files that were changed in the current PR, to avoid spamming
you with problems you had nothing to do with.
- Being transparent and simple to maintain. (Note that this is in conflict with
minimizing false positives/negatives! We try to give very few of both, but
completely eliminating them would result in an unaffordable maintenance
burden. We expect that some PRs will be merged with this job red.)
The tool is somewhat specific to our Middleman site builder, and we expect it
will be replaced or obviated in the transition to the Next.js platform... but in
the meantime, it should help make documentation slightly easier to maintain.
Remove any calls to testDiffFn and testApplyFn which don't effect the
test result. This way we have more tests using predictable provider
behavior, which is more likely to uncover legitimate regressions as the
particular behavior of the legacy mock provider logic does not need to
be taken into account.
Now that we don't need to track separate error values for the apply
logic, it's easier to reorganize the diagnostic handling to use a single
set of diagnostics.
