Renamed file.ProviderRequirements to file.RequiredProviders to match the
name of the block in the configuration. file.RequiredProviders contains
the contents of the file(s); module.ProviderRequirements contains the
parsed and merged provider requirements.
Extended decodeRequiredProvidersBlock to parse the new provider source
syntax (version only, it will ignore any other attributes).
Added some tests; swapped deep.Equal with cmp.Equal in the
terraform/module_dependencies_test.go because deep was not catching
incorrect constraints.
The existing "type" argument allows specifying a type constraint that
allows for some basic validation, but often there are more constraints on
a variable value than just its type.
This new feature (requiring an experiment opt-in for now, while we refine
it) allows specifying arbitrary validation rules for any variable which
can then cause custom error messages to be returned when a caller provides
an inappropriate value.
variable "example" {
validation {
condition = var.example != "nope"
error_message = "Example value must not be \"nope\"."
}
}
The core parts of this are designed to do as little new work as possible
when no validations are specified, and thus the main new checking codepath
here can therefore only run when the experiment is enabled in order to
permit having validations.
* deps: bump terraform-config-inspect library
* configs: parse `version` in new required_providers block
With the latest version of `terraform-config-inspect`, the
required_providers attribute can now be a string or an object with
attributes "source" and "version". This change allows parsing the
version constraint from the new object while ignoring any given source attribute.
In an earlier change we switched to defining our own sets of detectors,
getters, etc for go-getter in order to insulate us from upstream changes
to those sets that might otherwise change the user-visible behavior of
Terraform's module installer.
However, we apparently neglected to actually refer to our local set of
detectors, and continued to refer to the upstream set. Here we catch up
with the latest detectors from upstream (taken from the version of
go-getter we currently have vendored) and start using that fixed set.
Currently we are maintaining these custom go-getter sets in two places
due to the configload vs. initwd distinction. That was already true for
goGetterGetters and goGetterDecompressors, and so I've preserved that for
now just to keep this change relatively simple; in later change it would
be nice to factor these "get with go getter" functions out into a shared
location which we can call from both configload and initwd.
* configs: move ProviderConfigCompact[Str] from addrs to configs
The configs package is aware of provider name and type (which are the
same thing today, but expected to be two different things in a future
release), and should be the source of truth for a provider config
address. This is an intermediate step; the next step will change the returned types to something based in the configs package.
* command: rename choosePlugins to chooseProviders to clarify scope of function
* use `Provider.LegacyString()` (instead of `Provider.Type`) consistently
* explicitly create legacy-style provider (continuing from above change)
Traditionally we've preferred to release new language features in major
releases only, because we can then use the beta cycle to gather feedback
on the feature and learn about any usability challenges or other
situations we didn't consider during our design in time to make those
changes before inclusion in a stable release.
This "experiments" feature is intended to decouple the feedback cycle for
new features from the major release rhythm, and thus allow us to release
new features in minor releases by first releasing them as experimental for
a minor release or two, adjust for any feedback gathered during that
period, and then finally remove the experiment gate and enable the feature
for everyone.
The intended model here is that anything behind an experiment gate is
subject to breaking changes even in patch releases, and so any module
using these experimental features will be broken by a future Terraform
upgrade.
The behavior implemented here is:
- Recognize a new "experiments" setting in the "terraform" block which
allows module authors to explicitly opt in to experimental features.
terraform {
experiments = [resource_for_each]
}
- Generate a warning whenever loading a module that has experiments
enabled, to avoid accidentally depending on experimental features and
thus risking unexpected breakage on next Terraform upgrade.
- We check the enabled experiments against the configuration at module
load time, which means that experiments are scoped to a particular
module. Enabling an experiment in one module does not automatically
enable it in any other module.
This experiments mechanism is itself an experiment, and so I'd like to
use the resource for_each feature to trial it. Because any configuration
using experiments is subject to breaking changes, we are free to adjust
this experiments feature in future releases as we see fit, but once
for_each is shipped without an experiment gate we'll be blocked from
making significant changes to it until the next major release at least.
The configs package is aware of provider name and type (which are the
same thing today, but expected to be two different things in a future
release), and should be the source of truth for a provider config
address.
* huge change to weave new addrs.Provider into addrs.ProviderConfig

Provisioners

This PR introduces a new concept, provider fully-qualified name (FQN), encapsulated by the `addrs.Provider` struct.
Add deprecation warning for references from destroy provisioners or
their connections to external resources or values. In order to ensure
resource destruction can be completed correctly, destroy nodes must be
able to evaluate with only their instance state.
We have sufficient information to validate destroy-time provisioners
early on during the config loading process. Later on these can be
converted to hard errors, and only allow self, count.index, and each.key
in destroy provisioners. Limited the provisioner and block evaluation
scope later on is tricky, but if the references can never be loaded,
then they will never be encountered during evaluation.
`terraform 0.12upgrade` assumes that the configuration has passed 0.11
init, but did not explicitly check that the configuration was valid.
Certain issues would not get caught because the configuration was
syntactically valid. In this case, int or float values out of range
resulted in a panic from `Value()`.
Since running a 0.11 validate command is a breaking change, this PR
merely moves the `Value()` logic for ints and floats into `configupgrade` so
the error can be returned to the user, instead of causing a panic.
Following on from de652e22a26b, this introduces deprecation warnings for
when an attribute value expression is a template with only a single
interpolation sequence, and for variable type constraints given in quotes.
As with the previous commit, we allowed these deprecated forms with no
warning for a few releases after v0.12.0 to ensure that folks who need to
write cross-compatible modules for a while during upgrading would be able
to do so, but we're now marking these as explicitly deprecated to guide
users towards the new idiomatic forms.
The "terraform 0.12upgrade" tool would've already updated configurations
to not hit these warnings for those who had pre-existing configurations
written for Terraform 0.11.
The main target audience for these warnings are newcomers to Terraform who
are learning from existing examples already published in various spots on
the wider internet that may be showing older Terraform syntax, since those
folks will not be running their configurations through the upgrade tool.
These warnings will hopefully guide them towards modern Terraform usage
during their initial experimentation, and thus reduce the chances of
inadvertently adopting the less-readable legacy usage patterns in
greenfield projects.
Terraform 0.12.0 removed the need for putting references and keywords
in quotes, but we disabled the deprecation warnings for the initial
release in order to avoid creating noise for folks who were intentionally
attempting to maintain modules that were cross-compatible with both
Terraform 0.11 and Terraform 0.12.
However, with Terraform 0.12 now more widely used, the lack of these
warnings seems to be causing newcomers to copy the quoted versions from
existing examples on the internet, which is perpetuating the old and
confusing quoted form in newer configurations.
In preparation for phasing out these deprecated forms altogether in a
future major release, and for the shorter-term benefit of giving better
feedback to newcomers when they are learning from outdated examples, we'll
now re-enable those deprecation warnings, and be explicit that the old
forms are intended for removal in a future release.
In order to properly test this, we establish a new set of test
configurations that explicitly mark which warnings they are expecting and
verify that they do indeed produce those expected warnings. We also
verify that the "success" tests do _not_ produce warnings, while removing
the ones that were previously written to succeed but have their warnings
ignored.
During the 0.12 work we intended to move all of the variable value
collection logic into the UI layer (command package and backend packages)
and present them all together as a unified data structure to Terraform
Core. However, we didn't quite succeed because the interactive prompts
for unset required variables were still being handled _after_ calling
into Terraform Core.
Here we complete that earlier work by moving the interactive prompts for
variables out into the UI layer too, thus allowing us to handle final
validation of the variables all together in one place and do so in the UI
layer where we have the most context still available about where all of
these values are coming from.
This allows us to fix a problem where previously disabling input with
-input=false on the command line could cause Terraform Core to receive an
incomplete set of variable values, and fail with a bad error message.
As a consequence of this refactoring, the scope of terraform.Context.Input
is now reduced to only gathering provider configuration arguments. Ideally
that too would move into the UI layer somehow in a future commit, but
that's a problem for another day.
Previously we were using the experimental HCL 2 repository, but now we'll
shift over to the v2 import path within the main HCL repository as part of
actually releasing HCL 2.0 as stable.
This is a mechanical search/replace to the new import paths. It also
switches to the v2.0.0 release of HCL, which includes some new code that
Terraform didn't previously have but should not change any behavior that
matters for Terraform's purposes.
For the moment the experimental HCL2 repository is still an indirect
dependency via terraform-config-inspect, so it remains in our go.sum and
vendor directories for the moment. Because terraform-config-inspect uses
a much smaller subset of the HCL2 functionality, this does still manage
to prune the vendor directory a little. A subsequent release of
terraform-config-inspect should allow us to completely remove that old
repository in a future commit.
copyDir is used in configload/getter.go to copy previously downloaded modules instead of using the go-getter client every time. The go-getter client downloads dotfiles, but copyDir did not copy dotfiles, leading to inconsistent behaviour when reusing the same module source.
In order to allow lazy evaluation of resource indexes, we can't index
resources immediately via GetResourceInstance. Change the evaluation to
always return whole Resources via GetResource, and index individual
instances during expression evaluation.
This will allow us to always check for invalid index errors rather than
returning an unknown value and ignoring it during apply.
We can only validate MinItems >= 1 (equiv to "Required") during
decoding, as dynamic blocks each only decode as a single block. MaxItems
cannot be validated at all, also because of dynamic blocks, which may
have any number of blocks in the config.
Due to both the nature of dynamic blocks, and the need for resources to
sometimes communicate incomplete values, we cannot validate MinItems and
MaxItems in CoerceValue.
A provider may not have the data to fill in required block values in all
cases during the resource Read operation. This is more common in import,
because there is no initial configuration or state, and it's possible
some values are only provided in the configuration.
The original intent of MinItems and MaxItems in the schema was to
enforce configuration constraints, not to enforce what the resource
could save in the state. Since the configuration is already statically
validated, and the Schema is validated against the configuration in a
separate step, we can drop these extra validation constraints in
CoerceValue and relax it to only ensure the types conform to what is
expected.
If a block was defined via "dynamic", there will be only one block value
until the expansion is known. Since we can't detect dynamic blocks at
this point, don't verify MinItems while there are unknown values in the
config.
The decoder spec can also only check for existence of a block, so limit
the check to 0 or 1.
This also fixes a few things with resource for_each:
It makes validation more like validation for count.
It makes sure the index is stored in the state properly.
In some cases (see #22020 for a specific example), the parsed hilNode
can be nil. This causes a series of panics. Instead, return an error and
move on.
When loading nested modules, the child module diagnostics were dropped
in the recursive function. This mean that the config from the submodules
wasn't fully loaded, even though no errors were reported to the user.
This caused further problems if the plan was stored in a plan file, when
means only the partial configuration was stored for the subsequent apply
operation, which would result in unexplained "Resource node has no
configuration attached" errors later on.
Also due to the child module diagnostics being lost, any newly added
nested modules would be silently ignored until `init` was run again
manually.
Previously, adding a version constraint to a module that was previously
recorded without a version in the module manifest would cause a panic.
Instead, we now use a slight variant of the "dependencies have changed"
error that doesn't try to print out a specific version number.
Previously we were trying to access a field of the analysis object before
checking if analysis produced errors. The analysis function usually
returns a nil analysis on error, so this would result in a panic whenever
that happened.
Now we'll dereference the analysis object pointer only after checking for
errors, so we'll get a chance to report the analysis error to the user.
The expression upgrade functionality mostly ignores comments because in
the old language the syntax prevented comments from appearing in the
middle of expressions, but there was one exception: object expressions.
Because HCL 1 used ObjectType both for blocks and for object expressions,
that is the one situation where something we consider to be an expression
could have inline attached comments in the old language.
We migrate these here so we don't lose these comments that don't appear
anywhere else. Other comments get gathered up into a general comments
set maintained inside the analysis object and so will be printed out as
required _between_ expressions, just as they did before.
Previously we were treating "dynamic" blocks in configuration the same as
any other block type when merging config bodies, so that dynamic blocks
in the override would override any dynamic blocks present in the base,
without considering the dynamic block type.
It's more useful and intuitive for us to treat dynamic blocks as if they
are instances of their given block type for the purpose of overriding.
That means a foo block can be overridden by a dynamic "foo" block and
vice-versa, and dynamic blocks of different types do not interact at all
during overriding.
This requires us to recognize dynamic blocks and treat them specially
during decoding of a merged body. We leave them unexpanded here because
this package is not responsible for dynamic block expansion (that happens
in the sibling "lang" package) but we do decode them enough to recognize
their labels so we can treat them as if they were blocks of the labelled
type.
In study of existing providers we've found a pattern we werent previously
accounting for of using a nested block type to represent a group of
arguments that relate to a particular feature that is always enabled but
where it improves configuration readability to group all of its settings
together in a nested block.
The existing NestingSingle was not a good fit for this because it is
designed under the assumption that the presence or absence of the block
has some significance in enabling or disabling the relevant feature, and
so for these always-active cases we'd generate a misleading plan where
the settings for the feature appear totally absent, rather than showing
the default values that will be selected.
NestingGroup is, therefore, a slight variation of NestingSingle where
presence vs. absence of the block is not distinguishable (it's never null)
and instead its contents are treated as unset when the block is absent.
This then in turn causes any default values associated with the nested
arguments to be honored and displayed in the plan whenever the block is
not explicitly configured.
The current SDK cannot activate this mode, but that's okay because its
"legacy type system" opt-out flag allows it to force a block to be
processed in this way anyway. We're adding this now so that we can
introduce the feature in a future SDK without causing a breaking change
to the protocol, since the set of possible block nesting modes is not
extensible.
These helpers determine the value that would be used for a particular
schema construct if the configuration construct it represents is not
present (or, in the case of *Block, empty) in the configuration.
This is different than cty.NullVal on the implied type because it might
return non-null "empty" values for certain constructs if their absence
would be reported as such during a decode with no required attributes or
blocks.
The v0.12 language supports numeric constants only in decimal notation, as
a simplification. For rare situations where a different base is more
appropriate, such as unix-style file modes, we've found it better for
providers to accept a string containing a representation in the
appropriate base, since that way the interpretation can be validated and
it will be displayed in the same way in the rendered plan diff, in
outputs, etc.
We use tv.Value() here to mimick how HCL 1 itself would have interpreted
these, and then format them back out in the canonical form, which
implicitly converts any non-decimal constants to decimal on the way
through.
In order to preserve pre-v0.12 idiom for list-of-object attributes, we'll
prefer to use block syntax for them except for the special situation where
the user explicitly assigns an empty list, where attribute syntax is
required in order to allow existing provider logic to differentiate from
an implicit lack of blocks.
* configs/configupgrade: detect invalid resource names and print a TODO
message
In terraform 0.11 and prior it was possible to start a resource name
with a number. This is no longer valid, as the resource name would would
be ambiguous with number values in HCL expressions.
Fixes#19919
* Update configs/configupgrade/test-fixtures/valid/invalid-resource-name/want/resource.tf
Co-Authored-By: mildwonkey <mildwonkey@users.noreply.github.com>
This includes two upstream fixes:
- Handle explicit JSON "null" consistently during decode of JSON syntax.
- Properly detect the end of a "heredoc" when formatting to avoid messing
up indentation of other lines following the heredoc.
* configs/configupgrade: detect possible relative module sources
If a module source appears to be a relative local path but does not have
a preceding ./, print a #TODO message for the user.
* internal/initwd: limit go-getter detectors to those supported by terraform
* internal/initwd: move isMaybeRelativeLocalPath check into getWithGoGetter
To avoid making two calls to getter.Detect, which potentially makes
non-trivial API calls, the "isMaybeRelativeLocalPath" check was moved to
a later step and a custom error type was added so user-friendly
diagnostics could be displayed in the event that a possible relative local
path was detected.
configs/configload and internal/initwd both had a copyDir function that
would fail if the source directory contained a symlinked directory,
because the os.FileMode.IsDir() returns false for symlinks.
This PR adds a check for a symlink and copies that symlink in the
target directory. It handles symlinks for both files and directories
(with included tests).
Fixes#20539
Terraform 0.11 and prior had an odd special case where a resource
attribute access for "count" would be resolved as the count for the
whole resource, rather than as an attribute of an individual instance as
for all other attributes.
Because Terraform 0.12 makes test_instance.foo appear as a list when count
is set (so it can be used in other expressions), it's no longer possible
to have an attribute in that position: lists don't have attributes.
Fortunately we don't really need that special case anymore since it
doesn't do anything we can't now do with the length(...) function.
This upgrade rule, then, detects references like test_instance.foo.count
and rewrites to length(test_instance.foo). As a special case, if
test_instance.foo doesn't have "count" set then it just rewrites as the
constant 1, which mimics what would've happened in that case in Terraform
0.11.
Prior to Terraform v0.12 it was possible for a provider to secretly set
some default arguments for the "connection" block, which most commonly
included a hard-coded type of "ssh" and a value from "host".
In the interests of "explicit is better than implicit", Terraform 0.12 no
longer has this feature and instead requires connection settings to be
written explicitly in terms of the resource's exported attributes. For
compatibility though, the upgrade tool will insert expressions that are
as close as possible to the logic the provider formerly implemented, or
in a few rare cases a TF-UPGRADE-TODO comment to fix it up manually.
Some of the existing resource type implementations have incredibly
complicated implementations of selecting a single host IP address to use
and don't expose the result of that as an attribute, so for now we handle
those via a complicated Terraform language expression achieving the same
result. Ideally these providers would introduce a new attribute that
exports the same address formerly exported as the hostname before their
initial v0.12-compatible release, in which case we can simplify these to
just reference the attribute in question. That would be preferable also
because it would allow use of that exported attribute in other contexts,
such as in a null_resource provisioner somewhere else or in an output
to allow a caller to deal with the SSH part itself.
This uses the fixed "superset" schema from the main terraform package to
apply our standard expression mapping, with the exception of "type" where
interpolation sequences are not supported due to the type being evaluated
early to retrieve the schema for decoding the rest.
Aside from the two special meta-arguments "connection" and "provisioner"
this is just our standard mapping from schema to conversion rules, using
the provisioner's configuration schema.
Due to a copy-paste error, this was using the message from the providers
map in a "module" block.
This new message is not particularly helpful, but we should only see it
for a configuration that wouldn't have been valid in 0.11 either, and so
it's unlikely to be displayed.
Although sets do not have indexed elements, in Terraform 0.11 and earlier
element(...) would work with sets because we'd automatically convert them
to lists on entry to HIL -- with an arbitrary-but-consistent ordering --
and this return an arbitrary-but-consistent element from the list.
The element(...) function in Terraform 0.12 does not allow this because it
is not safe in general, but there was an existing pattern relying on this
in Terraform 0.11 configs which this upgrade rule is intended to preserve:
resource "example" "example" {
count = "${length(any_set_attribute)}"
foo = "${element(any_set_attribute, count.index}"
}
The above works because the exact indices assigned in the conversion are
irrelevant: we're just asking Terraform to create one resource for each
distinct element in the set.
This upgrade rule therefore inserts an explicit conversion to list if it
is able to successfully provide that the given expression will return a
set type:
foo = "${element(tolist(any_set_attribute), count.index}"
This makes the conversion explicit, allowing users to decide if it is
safe and rework the configuration if not. Since our static type analysis
functionality focuses mainly on resource type attributes, in practice this
rule will only apply when the given expression is a statically-checkable
resource reference. Since sets are an SDK-only concept in Terraform 0.11
and earlier anyway, in practice that works out just right: it's not
possible for sets to appear anywhere else in older versions anyway.
The comma-separated syntax is now reserved only for object constructor
expressions in attribute values, so the upgrade tool rewrites block
arguments to be newline-separated instead.
This was already working but we didn't have an explicit test for it until
now.
Prior to Terraform 0.12, ignore_changes was implemented in a
flatmap-oriented fashion and so users found that they could (and in fact,
were often forced to) use the internal .% and .# suffixes flatmap uses to
ignore changes to the number of elements in a list or map.
Terraform 0.12 no longer uses that representation, so we'll interpret
ignoring changes to the length as ignoring changes to the entire
collection. While this is not a totally-equivalent change, in practice
this pattern was most often used in conjunction with specific keys from a
map in order to _effectively_ ignore the entire map, even though Terraform
didn't really support that.
HIL implemented its type conversions by rewriting its AST to include calls
to some undocumented builtin functions. Unfortunately those functions were
still explicitly callable if you could figure out the name for them, and
so they may have been used in the wild.
In particular, __builtin_StringToFloat was used as part of a workaround
for a HIL design flaw where it would prefer to convert strings to integers
rather than floats when performing arithmetic operations. This issue was,
indeed, the main reason for unifying int ant float into a single number
type in HCL. Since we published that as a suggested workaround, the
upgrade tool ought to fix it up.
The other cases have never been documented as a workaround, so they are
less likely to appear in the wild, but we might as well fix them up anyway
since we already have the conversion functions required to get the same
result in the new language.
To be safe/conservative, most of these convert to _two_ function calls
rather than just one, which ensures that these new expressions retain the
behavior of implicitly converting to the source type before running the
conversion. The new conversion functions only specify target type, and so
cannot guarantee identical results if the argument type does not exactly
match what was previously given as the parameter type in HIL.
HEREDOC tokens are a little more fussy than normal string sequences
because we need to preserve the whitespace within them along with the
start and end markers while we upgrade any interpolated expressions inside.
We need to do some work locally here because the HCL heredoc processing
"does too much" and throws away information we need to do a faithful
upgrade.
We also need to contend with the fact that Terraform <=0.11 had an older
version of HCL that accidentally permitted a degenerate form of heredoc
where the marker was at the end of the final line, like this:
degenerate = <<EOT
this should never have workedEOT
When we migrate this, we'll introduce the additional newline that is now
required, which will unfortunately slightly change the result string to
include a newline when parsed by 0.12, and so we'll need to call this out
as a caveat in the upgrade guide.
Since these error messages get printed in Terraform's output and we
encourage users to share them as part of bug reports, we should avoid
including sensitive information in them to reduce the risk of accidental
exposure.
Previously, configupgrade would panic if it encountered a HEREDOC. For
the time being, we will simply print out the HEREDOC as-is.
Unfortunately, we discovered that terraform 0.11's version of HCL
allowed for HEREDOCs with the termination delimiter inline (instead of
on a newline, which is technically correct). Since 0.12configupgrade
needs to be bug-compatible with terraform 0.11, we must roll back to the
same version of HCL used in terraform 0.11.
Objects with DynamicPseudoType attributes can't be coerced within a map
if a concrete type is set. Change the Value type used to an Object when
there is a type mismatch.
In prior versions, we recommended using hash functions in conjunction with
the file function as an idiom for detecting changes to upstream blobs
without fetching and comparing the whole blob.
That approach relied on us being able to return raw binary data from
file(...). Since Terraform strings pass through intermediate
representations that are not binary-safe (e.g. the JSON state), there was
a risk of string corruption in prior versions which we have avoided for
0.12 by requiring that file(...) be used only with UTF-8 text files.
The specific case of returning a string and immediately passing it into
another function was not actually subject to that corruption risk, since
the HIL interpreter would just pass the string through verbatim, but this
is still now forbidden as a result of the stricter handling of file(...).
To avoid breaking these use-cases, here we introduce variants of the hash
functions a with "file" prefix that take a filename for a disk file to
hash rather than hashing the given string directly. The configuration
upgrade tool also now includes a rule to detect the documented idiom and
rewrite it into a single function call for one of these new functions.
This does cause a bit of function sprawl, but that seems preferable to
introducing more complex rules for when file(...) can and cannot read
binary files, making the behavior of these various functions easier to
understand in isolation.
There are a few constructs from 0.11 and prior that cause 0.12 parsing to
fail altogether, which previously created a chicken/egg problem because
we need to install the providers in order to run "terraform 0.12upgrade"
and thus fix the problem.
This changes "terraform init" to use the new "early configuration" loader
for module and provider installation. This is built on the more permissive
parser in the terraform-config-inspect package, and so it allows us to
read out the top-level blocks from the configuration while accepting
legacy HCL syntax.
In the long run this will let us do version compatibility detection before
attempting a "real" config load, giving us better error messages for any
future syntax additions, but in the short term the key thing is that it
allows us to install the dependencies even if the configuration isn't
fully valid.
Because backend init still requires full configuration, this introduces a
new mode of terraform init where it detects heuristically if it seems like
we need to do a configuration upgrade and does a partial init if so,
before finally directing the user to run "terraform 0.12upgrade" before
running any other commands.
The heuristic here is based on two assumptions:
- If the "early" loader finds no errors but the normal loader does, the
configuration is likely to be valid for Terraform 0.11 but not 0.12.
- If there's already a version constraint in the configuration that
excludes Terraform versions prior to v0.12 then the configuration is
probably _already_ upgraded and so it's just a normal syntax error,
even if the early loader didn't detect it.
Once the upgrade process is removed in 0.13.0 (users will be required to
go stepwise 0.11 -> 0.12 -> 0.13 to upgrade after that), some of this can
be simplified to remove that special mode, but the idea of doing the
dependency version checks against the liberal parser will remain valuable
to increase our chances of reporting version-based incompatibilities
rather than syntax errors as we add new features in future.
The parent commit fixes an issue where this would previously have led to
a crash. These new test cases verify that parsing is now able to complete
without crashing, though the result is still invalid.
In early versions of Terraform where the interpolation language didn't
have any real list support, list brackets around a single string was the
signal to split the string on a special uuid separator to produce a list
just in time for processing, giving expressions like this:
foo = ["${test_instance.foo.*.id}"]
Logically this is weird because it looks like it should produce a list
of lists of strings. When we added real list support in Terraform 0.7 we
retained support for this behavior by trimming off extra levels of list
during evaluation, and inadvertently continued relying on this notation
for correct type checking.
During the Terraform 0.10 line we fixed the type checker bugs (a few
remaining issues notwithstanding) so that it was finally possible to
use the more intuitive form:
foo = "${test_instance.foo.*.id}"
...but we continued trimming off extra levels of list for backward
compatibility.
Terraform 0.12 finally removes that compatibility shim, causing redundant
list brackets to be interpreted as a list of lists.
This upgrade rule attempts to identify situations that are relying on the
old compatibility behavior and trim off the redundant extra brackets. It's
not possible to do this fully-generally using only static analysis, but
we can gather enough information through or partial type inference
mechanism here to deal with the most common situations automatically and
produce a TF-UPGRADE-TODO comment for more complex scenarios where the
user intent isn't decidable with only static analysis.
In particular, this handles by far the most common situation of wrapping
list brackets around a splat expression like the first example above.
After this and the other upgrade rules are applied, the first example
above will become:
foo = test_instance.foo.*.id
By collecting information about the input variables during analysis, we
can return approximate type information for any references to those
variables in expressions.
Since Terraform 0.11 allowed maps of maps and lists of lists in certain
circumstances even though this was documented as forbidden, we
conservatively return collection types whose element types are unknown
here, which allows us to do shallow inference on them but will cause
us to get an incomplete result if any operations are performed on
elements of the list or map value.
Although we can't do fully-precise type inference with access only to a
single module's configuration, we can do some approximate inference using
some clues within the module along with our resource type schemas.
This depends on HCL's ability to pass through type information even if the
input values are unknown, mapping our partial input type information into
partial output type information by evaluating the same expressions.
This will allow us to do some upgrades that require dynamic analysis to
fully decide, by giving us three outcomes: needed, not needed, or unknown.
If it's unknown then that'll be our prompt to emit a warning for the user
to make a decision.
This is a temporary implementation of these rules just so that these can
be passed through verbatim (rather than generating an error) while we
do testing of other features.
A subsequent commit will finish these with their own custom rulesets.
The main tricky thing here is ignore_changes, which contains strings that
are better given as naked traversals in 0.12. We also handle here mapping
the old special case ["*"] value to the new "all" keyword.
Both resource blocks and module blocks contain references to providers
that are expressed as short-form provider addresses ("aws.foo" rather than
"provider.aws.foo").
These rules call for those to be unwrapped as naked identifiers during
upgrade, rather than appearing as quoted strings. This also introduces
some further rules for other simpler meta-arguments that are required
for the test fixtures for this feature.
Some further rules are required here to deal with the meta-arguments we
accept inside these blocks, but this is good enough to pass through most
module blocks using the standard attribute-expression-based mapping.
