* command/state list: list resources in nested and expaneded modules
A few distinct bugs fixed in here:
There was a bug in the logic checking if a given module was the child of
the targetAddr, now fixed. That resolved the basic issue where resources
in nested submodules were not listed.
The logic around allowMissing needed some tweaking to allow for empty
modules, as long as those modules had submodules with resources. state
list is the only command using allowMissing with false so this felt safe
to do.
Finally I extended the logic so list would included expanded modules,
which is to say giving module.foo would result in resources from
module.foo[1], module.foo[0], etc.
* update state list docs to show that module filtering includes any nested
modules
Expressions such as "path.root" were returning the cwd (or modulePath),
instead of the usual _relative_ path. This commit normalizes the path
before building the context.
Also uncomment and fix some tests which had been skipped for a couple of
years. Those validate cases work now!
Note that these test cases and the JSON output are not especially
minimized, making them snapshot/golden tests. The output looks correct
at time of writing, and we don't expect to change validate significantly
any time soon, but if we do there will be some churn here.
We included these warnings in v0.14 after noticing that we'd accidentally
published some incorrect documentation about the purpose of the plugin
cache directory under .terraform/plugins. We switched to using
.terraform/providers instead so that we could treat any missing providers
that appear in the legacy directory as likely to be a result of following
that documentation, and thus produce this extra warning.
However, the further we get from v0.13 the more likely it is for this
warning to be a confusing false positive rather than something helpful,
and this is a non-trivial codepath requiring us to retain a concept that
we otherwise don't need (the "legacy cache dir"), so here we'll remove
those warnings and support code for v0.15 onwards.
These warnings were always accompanied by an error message saying that a
provider could not be found, and that error message remains after this
change. This just removes the "by the way..."-style warning we had been
emitting alongside the errors.
If a user forgets to specify the source address for a provider, Terraform
will assume they meant a provider in the registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/
namespace. If that ultimately doesn't exist, we'll now try to see if
there's some other provider source address recorded in the registry's
legacy provider lookup table, and suggest it if so.
The error message here is a terse one addressed primarily to folks who are
already somewhat familiar with provider source addresses and how to
specify them. Terraform v0.13 had a more elaborate version of this error
message which directed the user to try the v0.13 automatic upgrade tool,
but we no longer have that available in v0.14 and later so the user must
make the fix themselves.
The upstream bug with opening a browser on Windows Subsystem for Linux
has been fixed, so this reverts our local patch for this. The approach
upstream adds fallback support for x-www-browser and www-browser if
xdg-open fails, and this fixes the problem on WSL.
This reverts commit 12e090ce48.
So far the output command has had a default output format intended for
human consumption and a JSON output format intended for machine
consumption.
However, until Terraform v0.14 the default output format for primitive
types happened to be _almost_ a raw string representation of the value,
and so users started using that as a more convenient way to access
primitive-typed output values from shell scripts, avoiding the need to
also use a tool like "jq" to decode the JSON.
Recognizing that primitive-typed output values are common and that
processing them with shell scripts is common, this commit introduces a new
-raw mode which is explicitly intended for that use-case, guaranteeing
that the result will always be the direct result of a string conversion
of the output value, or an error if no such conversion is possible.
Our policy elsewhere in Terraform is that we always use JSON for
machine-readable output. We adopted that policy because our other
machine-readable output has typically been complex data structures rather
than single primitive values. A special mode seems justified for output
values because it is common for root module output values to be just
strings, and so it's pragmatic to offer access to the raw value directly
rather than requiring a round-trip through JSON.
As of Terraform 0.13+, the get-plugins command has been
superceded by new provider installation mechanisms, and
general philosophy (providers are always installed, but
the sources may be customized). Updat the init command
to give users a warning if they are setting this flag,
to encourage them to remove it from their workflow, and
update relevant docs and docstrings as well
* command/format: concise diff is no longer an experiment
Since state formatting goes through the "diff" printer, I have
repurposed the concise flag as a verbose flag, used only when printing
state. It's silly but it works!
* remove helper/experiment
With this experiment concluded, we no longer need helper/experiment. The
shadow experiment had not been touched in many years, so I removed all
references, and removed the package entirely. Any new experiments are
expected to be configuration experiments handled by our (other)
experiments package.
* check for the verbose flag consistently, in case we end up using it in plans in the future
Along with all of the other information we previously reported in the
"terraform version" output, we'll now include the name of the current
platform as our provider mechanisms represent it.
This is addressing a long-standing minor annoyance where we often can't
tell from an incomplete bug report which platform Terraform was running
on, and incomplete bug reporters do tend to at least include the
"terraform version" output even if they don't also include the requested
full trace log.
However, what motivated doing it _now_ is that anyone building a provider
registry or mirror needs to have some awareness of these platform
identifiers which have been, until v0.13, mostly an implementation detail.
This additional information is a small thing we can do to help registry
builders find out what the platform identifier ought to be for each of
the platforms they aim to support, even if some of them are platforms
which the Go compiler allows but which HashiCorp doesn't officially
support.
The new information is on a line of its own in the output as a pragmatic
way to avoid breaking anyone who might be using something like
$(terraform version | head -n1) to print a brief Terraform version
identifier into some logs. That's not an interface we officially support
for machine consumption, but it's easy to avoid breaking it here and so we
won't do so.
When using the enhanced remote backend, a subset of all Terraform
operations are supported. Of these, only plan and apply can be executed
on the remote infrastructure (e.g. Terraform Cloud). Other operations
run locally and use the remote backend for state storage.
This causes problems when the local version of Terraform does not match
the configured version from the remote workspace. If the two versions
are incompatible, an `import` or `state mv` operation can cause the
remote workspace to be unusable until a manual fix is applied.
To prevent this from happening accidentally, this commit introduces a
check that the local Terraform version and the configured remote
workspace Terraform version are compatible. This check is skipped for
commands which do not write state, and can also be disabled by the use
of a new command-line flag, `-ignore-remote-version`.
Terraform version compatibility is defined as:
- For all releases before 0.14.0, local must exactly equal remote, as
two different versions cannot share state;
- 0.14.0 to 1.0.x are compatible, as we will not change the state
version number until at least Terraform 1.1.0;
- Versions after 1.1.0 must have the same major and minor versions, as
we will not change the state version number in a patch release.
If the two versions are incompatible, a diagnostic is displayed,
advising that the error can be suppressed with `-ignore-remote-version`.
When this flag is used, the diagnostic is still displayed, but as a
warning instead of an error.
Commands which will not write state can assert this fact by calling the
helper `meta.ignoreRemoteBackendVersionConflict`, which will disable the
checks. Those which can write state should instead call the helper
`meta.remoteBackendVersionCheck`, which will return diagnostics for
display.
In addition to these explicit paths for managing the version check, we
have an implicit check in the remote backend's state manager
initialization method. Both of the above helpers will disable this
check. This fallback is in place to ensure that future code paths which
access state cannot accidentally skip the remote version check.
Remove chef, habitat, puppet, and salt-masterless provsioners,
which follows their deprecation. Update the documentatin for these
provisioners to clarify that they have been removed from later versions
of Terraform. Adds the fmt Make target back and updates fmtcheck script
for correctness.
When building a context, we read the dependency locks and ensure that
the provider requirements from the configuration can be satisfied.
If the configured requirements change such that the locks need to be
updated, we explain this and recommend running "terraform init".
This check is ignored for any providers which are locally marked as in
development. This includes unmanaged providers and those listed in the
provider installation `dev_overrides` block.
Core is only using the PrepareProviderConfig call for the validation
part of the method, but we should be re-validating the final config
immediately before Configure.
This change elects to not start using the PreparedConfig here, since
there is no useful reason for it at this point, and it would
introduce a functional difference between terraform releases that can be
avoided.
Previously when printing the relevant variables involved in a failed
expression evaluation we would just skip over unknown values entirely.
There are some errors, though, which are _caused by_ a value being
unknown, in which case it's helpful to show which of the inputs to that
expression were known vs. unknown so that the user can limit their further
investigation only to the unknown ones.
While here I also added a special case for sensitive values that overrides
all other display, because we don't know what about a value is sensitive
and so better to give nothing away at the expense of a slightly less
helpful error message.
For this version of Terraform and forward, we no longer refuse to read
compatible state files written by future versions of Terraform. This is
a commitment that any changes to the semantics or format of the state
file after this commit will require a new state file version 5.
The result of this is that users of this Terraform version will be able
to share remote state with users of future versions, and all users will
be able to read and write state. This will be true until the next major
state file version is required.
This does not affect users of previous versions of Terraform, which will
continue to refuse to read state written by later versions.
The short description of our commands (as shown in the main help output
from "terraform") was previously very inconsistent, using different
tense/mood for different commands. Some of the commands were also using
some terminology choices inconsistent with how we currently talk about
the related ideas in our documentation.
Here I've tried to add some consistency by first rewriting them all in
the imperative mood (except the ones that just are just subcommand
groupings), and tweaking some of the terminology to hopefully gel better
with how we present similar ideas in our recently-updated docs.
While working on this I inevitably spotted some similar inconsistencies
in the longer-form help output of some of the commands. I've not reviewed
all of these for consistency, but I did update some where the wording
was either left inconsstent with the short form changes I'd made or
where the prose stood out to me as particularly inconsistent with our
current usual documentation language style.
All of this is subjective, so I expect we'll continue to tweak these over
time as we continue to develop our documentation writing style based on
user questions and feedback.
Now that hclog can independently set levels on related loggers, we can
separate the log levels for different subsystems in terraform.
This adds the new environment variables, `TF_LOG_CORE` and
`TF_LOG_PROVIDER`, which each take the same set of log level arguments,
and only applies to logs from that subsystem. This means that setting
`TF_LOG_CORE=level` will not show logs from providers, and
`TF_LOG_PROVIDER=level` will not show logs from core. The behavior of
`TF_LOG` alone does not change.
While it is not necessarily needed since the default is to disable logs,
there is also a new level argument of `off`, which reflects the
associated level in hclog.
Use a separate log sink to always capture trace logs for the panicwrap
handler to write out in a crash log.
This requires creating a log file in the outer process and passing that
path to the child process to log to.
If you run the e2etests locally and use a configured plugin_cache_dir,
the test will leave a bad directory behind in your cache dir that causes
later `init`s to fail. To circumvent this, pass an explicity-empty CLI
config file.
This is a nicety for local developers and not necessarily required, but
it happens to me often enough that I'd like to fix it. It's probably not
a *bad* idea to pass an explicit cli config to all e2etests, honestly,
but this is the only one that causes active problems so I limited this
PR to that one test.
Here's the error which occurs on subsequent `init` if this test is run on a
machine that uses a plugin cache dir:
2020/10/13 10:41:05 [TRACE] providercache.fillMetaCache: error while scanning directory /Users/mildwonkey/.terraform.d/plugin-cache: failed to read metadata about /Users/mildwonkey/.terraform.d/plugin-cache/example.com/awesomecorp/happycloud/1.2.0/darwin_amd64: stat /Users/mildwonkey/.terraform.d/plugin-cache/example.com/awesomecorp/happycloud/1.2.0/darwin_amd64: no such file or directory
If a configuration requires a partial provider version (with some parts
unspecified), Terraform considers this as a constrained-to-zero version.
For example, a version constraint of 1.2 will result in an attempt to
install version 1.2.0, even if 1.2.1 is available.
When writing the dependency locks file, we previously would write 1.2.*,
as this is the in-memory representation of 1.2. This would then cause an
error on re-reading the locks file, as this is not a valid constraint
format.
Instead, we now explicitly convert the constraint to its zero-filled
representation before writing the locks file. This ensures that it
correctly round-trips.
Because this change is made in getproviders.VersionConstraintsString, it
also affects the output of the providers sub-command.
Use a single log writer instance for all std library logging.
Setup the std log writer in the logging package, and remove boilerplate
from test packages.
For normal provider installation we want to associate each provider with
a selected version number and find a suitable package for that version
that conforms to the official hashes for that release.
Those requirements are very onerous for a provider developer currently
testing a not-yet-released build, though. To allow for that case this new
CLI configuration feature allows overriding specific providers to refer
to give local filesystem directories.
Any provider overridden in this way is not subject to the usual
restrictions about selected versions or checksum conformance, and
activating an override won't cause any changes to the selections recorded
in the lock file because it's intended to be a temporary setting for one
developer only.
This is, in a sense, a spiritual successor of an old capability we had to
override specific plugins in the CLI configuration file. There were
some vestiges of that left in the main package and CLI config package
but nothing has actually been honoring them for several versions now and
so this commit removes them to avoid confusion with the new mechanism.
This originated in the cliconfig code to write out credentials files. The
Windows implementation of this in particular was quite onerous to get
right because it needs a very specific sequence of operations to avoid
running into exclusive file locks, and so by factoring this out with
only cosmetic modification we can avoid repeating all of that engineering
effort for other atomic file writing use-cases.
Terraform v0.10 introduced .terraform/plugins as a cache directory for
automatically-installed plugins, Terraform v0.13 later reorganized the
directory structure inside but retained its purpose as a cache.
The local cache used to also serve as a record of specifically which
packages were selected in a particular working directory, with the intent
that a second run of "terraform init" would always select the same
packages again. That meant that in some sense it behaved a bit like a
local filesystem mirror directory, even though that wasn't its intended
purpose.
Due to some unfortunate miscommunications, somewhere a long the line we
published some documentation that _recommended_ using the cache directory
as if it were a filesystem mirror directory when working with Terraform
Cloud. That was really only working as an accident of implementation
details, and Terraform v0.14 is now going to break that because the source
of record for the currently-selected provider versions is now the
public-facing dependency lock file rather than the contents of an existing
local cache directory on disk.
After some consideration of how to move forward here, this commit
implements a compromise that tries to avoid silently doing anything
surprising while still giving useful guidance to folks who were previously
using the unsupported strategy. Specifically:
- The local cache directory will now be .terraform/providers rather than
.terraform/plugins, because .terraform/plugins is effectively "poisoned"
by the incorrect usage that we can't reliably distinguish from prior
version correct usage.
- The .terraform/plugins directory is now the "legacy cache directory". It
is intentionally _not_ now a filesystem mirror directory, because that
would risk incorrectly interpreting providers automatically installed
by Terraform v0.13 as if they were a local mirror, and thus upgrades
and checksum fetches from the origin registry would be blocked.
- Because of the previous two points, someone who _was_ trying to use the
legacy cache directory as a filesystem mirror would see installation
fail for any providers they manually added to the legacy directory.
To avoid leaving that user stumped as to what went wrong, there's a
heuristic for the case where a non-official provider fails installation
and yet we can see it in the legacy cache directory. If that heuristic
matches then we'll produce a warning message hinting to move the
provider under the terraform.d/plugins directory, which is a _correct_
location for "bundled" provider plugins that belong only to a single
configuration (as opposed to being installed globally on a system).
This does unfortunately mean that anyone who was following the
incorrectly-documented pattern will now encounter an error (and the
aforementioned warning hint) after upgrading to Terraform v0.14. This
seems like the safest compromise because Terraform can't automatically
infer the intent of files it finds in .terraform/plugins in order to
decide automatically how best to handle them.
The internals of the .terraform directory are always considered
implementation detail for a particular Terraform version and so switching
to a new directory for the _actual_ cache directory fits within our usual
set of guarantees, though it's definitely non-ideal in isolation but okay
when taken in the broader context of this problem, where the alternative
would be silent misbehavior when upgrading.
When an attribute's sensitivity changes, but its value remains the same,
we consider this an update operation for the plan. This commit updates
the diff renderer to match this, detecting and displaying the change in
sensitivity.
Previously, the renderer would detect no changes to the value of the
attribute, and consider it a no-op action. This resulted in suppression
of the attribute when the plan is in concise mode.
This is achieved with a new helper function, ctyEqualValueAndMarks. We
call this function whenever we want to check that two values are equal
in order to determine whether the action is update or no-op.
Previously we were just letting hclwrite do its default formatting
behavior here. The current behavior there isn't ideal anyway -- it puts
big data structures all on one line -- but even ignoring that our goal
for this file format is to keep things in a highly-normalized shape so
that diffs against the file are clear and easy to read.
With that in mind, here we directly control how we write that value into
the file, which means that later changes to hclwrite's list/set
presentation won't affect it, regardless of what form they take.
This command is intended to help support situations where Terraform is
configured to use only local mirrors for provider installation and so the
normal "terraform init" flow would not have direct access to the official
package checksums published in the origin registry.
The intended workflow here is to use this command only when adding a new
provider or changing an existing provider's version in the configuration,
to augment the lock file with all of the checksums required to verify
the provider across a variety of different platforms. Once this command
has recorded all of the official checksums, future runs of
"terraform init" will verify that provider packages obtained from a local
mirror match with those upstream checksums.
This probably isn't the best UI we could do here, but it's a placeholder
for now just to avoid making it seem like we're ignoring the lock file
and checking for new versions anyway.
This changes the approach used by the provider installer to remember
between runs which selections it has previously made, using the lock file
format implemented in internal/depsfile.
This means that version constraints in the configuration are considered
only for providers we've not seen before or when -upgrade mode is active.
helper/copy CopyDir was used heavily in tests. It differes from
internal/copydir in a few ways, the main one being that it creates the
dst directory while the internal version expected the dst to exist
(there are other differences, which is why I did not just switch tests
to using internal's CopyDir).
I moved the CopyDir func from helper/copy into command_test.go; I could
also have moved it into internal/copy and named it something like
CreateDirAndCopy so if that seems like a better option please let me
know.
helper/copy/CopyFile was used in a couple of spots so I moved it into
internal, at which point I thought it made more sense to rename the
package copy (instead of copydir).
There's also a `go mod tidy` included.
* remove unused code
I've removed the provider-specific code under registry, and unused nil
backend, and replaced a call to helper from backend/oss (the other
callers of that func are provisioners scheduled to be deprecated).
I also removed the Dockerfile, as our build process uses a different
file.
Finally I removed the examples directory, which had outdated examples
and links. There are better, actively maintained examples available.
* command: remove various unused bits
* test wasn't running
* backend: remove unused err
If an entire block is marked sensitive (possibly because it is of type
NestedSet) and results in replacement of the resource, we should render
the standard "forces replacement" text after the opening line of the
block.
If a value rendered for the diff is sensitive and results in replacement
of the resource, we should render the standard "forces replacement" text
after the "(sensitive)" value display.
When a value in a nested block is marked as sensitive,
it will result in the behavior of every member of
that block being sensitive. As such, show a
specialized diff that reduces noise of (sensitive)
for many attributes that we won't show. Also update
the warning to differentiate between showing a warning
for an attribute or warning for blocks.
We no longer need to support 0.12-and-earlier-style provider addresses
because users should've upgraded their existing configurations and states
on Terraform 0.13 already.
For now this is only checked in the "init" command, because various test
shims are still relying on the idea of legacy providers the core layer.
However, rejecting these during init is sufficient grounds to avoid
supporting legacy provider addresses in the new dependency lock file
format, and thus sets the stage for a more severe removal of legacy
provider support in a later commit.
The tmp directory path is longer on Macs than other systems and was wrapping
across lines when printed, breaking the string match in the test.
Fix suggested by @apparentlymart is to add two spaces before the leading
'-' when printing to prevent the diagnostic renderer wrapping the line.
