If somehow an invalid workspace has been selected, the Meta.Workspace
method should not return an error, to ensure that we don't break any
existing workflows with invalid workspace names.
The workspace name can be overridden by setting a TF_WORKSPACE
environment variable. If this is done, we should still validate the
resulting workspace name; otherwise, we could end up with an invalid and
unselectable workspace.
This change updates the Meta.Workspace function to return an error, and
handles that error wherever necessary.
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.
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.
So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.
Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.
The mission of this process method used to include dealing with
auto-loaded tfvars files, but it doesn't do that anymore.
It does still deal with the -no-color option, but the test wasn't
exercising that part before.
Now the test here focuses on the -no-color behavior.
The process method still has a "vars" flag argument which is no longer
used. Since this is an unexported method we could potentially address this
but this commit is intentionally limited only to fixing the test.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Add Env and SetEnv methods to command.Meta to retrieve the current
environment name inside any command.
Make sure all calls to Backend.State contain an environment name, and
make the package compile against the update backend package.
Fixes#7975
This changes the InputMode for the CLI to always be:
InputModeProvider | InputModeVar | InputModeVarUnset
Which means:
* Ask for provider variables
* Ask for user variables _that are not already set_
The change is the latter point. Before, we'd only ask for variables if
zero were given. This forces the user to either have no variables set
via the CLI, env vars, tfvars or ALL variables, but no in between. As
reported in #7975, this isn't expected behavior.
The new change makes is so that unset variables are always asked for.
Users can retain the previous behavior by setting `-input=false`. This
would ensure that variables set by external sources cover all cases.
This means that terraform commands like `plan`, `apply`, `show`, and
`graph` will expand all modules by default.
While modules-as-black-boxes is still very true in the conceptual design
of modules, feedback on this behavior has consistently suggested that
users would prefer to see more verbose output by default.
The `-module-depth` flag and env var are retained to allow output to be
optionally limited / summarized by these commands.
