With the SDK moving out into its own repository, a lot of the packages
under "helper/" are no longer needed. We still need to keep around just
enough legacy SDK to support the "test" provider and some little bits and
bobs in the backends and provisioners, but a lot of this is now just dead
code.
One of the test provider tests was depending on some validation functions
only because the schema in there was originally copied from a "real"
provider. The validation rules are not actually important for the test,
so I removed them. Otherwise, this removes only dead code.
`Any()` allows any single passing validation of multiple `SchemaValidateFunc` to pass validation to cover cases where a standard validation function does not cover the functionality or to make error messaging simpler.
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.Any(
validation.IntAtLeast(42),
validation.IntAtMost(5),
),
```
`All()` combines the outputs of multiple `SchemaValidateFunc`, to reduce the usage of custom validation functions that implement standard validation functions.
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.All(
StringLenBetween(5, 42),
StringMatch(regexp.MustCompile(`[a-zA-Z0-9]+`), "value must be alphanumeric"),
),
```
`IntInSlice()` is the `int` equivalent of `StringInSlice()`
Example provider usage:
```go
ValidateFunc: validation.IntInSlice([]int{30, 60, 120})
```
Output from unit testing:
```
$ make test TEST=./helper/validation

StringMatch returns a validation function that can be used to match a
string against a regular expression. This can be used for simple
substring validations or more complex validation scenarios. Optionally,
an error message can be returned so that the user is returned a better
error message other than that their field did not match a regular
expression that they might not be able to understand.
This adds NoZeroValues, a small SchemaValidateFunc that checks that a
defined value is not a zero value. It's useful for situations where you
want to keep someone from explicitly entering a zero value (ie:
literally "0", or an empty string) on a required field, and want to
catch it in the validation stage, versus during apply using GetOk.
Add the ValidateListUniqueStrings function, which is a ValidateFunc that
ensures a list has no duplicate items in it. It's useful for when a list
is needed over a set because order matters, yet the items still need to
be unique.
This adds a ValidateRegexp validation helper to check to see if a field
has a valid regular expression.
Includes test for good regexp, and test for bad regexp.
